Not sure if we are talking about the same thing, but on a flight with a Boing 777, I found the throw-away headphones that they hand out upon boarding with the very strange connector (dual mono jacks) to be so bad as to be nearly useless.<p>I tried to cut the cable, remove the isolation and connect my Apple earbuds, which worked somehow but not very well because the (very thin) wires were individually isolated. Did you come up with a solution?
