For more than a decade, I have traveled with an extra monitor. It is a life-saver for productivity on the go. Plus, if you keep an HDMI cable, you can use
By earphones I mean in-ear models. Maybe there is some weird over-ear model with that feature, but when IEMs add the Bluetooth feature, the cord gets cut from the design
Damn, you’re right. For many years I used the Bose Quiet Comfort 20, but those aren’t made anymore. There are still some options but none of them look great. The major brands just stopped making them. Ironically the first pair I found was USB-C with an adapter.
Number of stews who have the time to help you figure out the pairing rigamarole or why the radio on this unit is fucked: ZERO.
No help necessary. Leave it as an advanced option and provide those who request assistance a cheap pair of 3.5 mm headphones. SOLVED.
Number of issues with regular fucking headphones: zero.
Wire gets caught in my limbs because the seating area is so tight.
Wire jack is tucked up from people pulling headphones at odd angles. Wortsst case scenario (has happened to me): the jack is inoperable, incapable of holding headphones without continuous, upwards pressure.
No active noise canceling (you might still be able to find ANC wired headphones but they are a niche product if they still exist).
An extra item to pack, since my phone requires a dangle to use 3.5 mm headphones, so I either pack a dangle, or another pair of headphones for using with my phone.
Cases where the tinniness will impact your enjoyment of visual spooge: zero
I’m sorry you’re not able to appreciate hifi sound but that’s a a you problem.
People stopping you from buying some $15 apple 3.5mm pods for your earballs: zero
Those sound like shit compared to the expensive pair of wireless ear buds that I already own.
I’m thinking you’ll be fine. Leave the air safety officers alone so they can do their job.
Of course I’m fine. But what’s this nonsense about bothering air safety officers? Nobody is berating airline employees about bluetooth headphones lol.

3.5mm earphones don’t block 85db of plane noise
Most over-ear noise cancelling headphones I’ve seen have a 3.5mm input that works with the noise cancelling.
Yet I haven’t heard of an earphone with this functionality
What? My 20 years of flying regularly with 3.5mm headphones must have been a very long hallucination.
I said earphones and you’re talking about headphones
They make both.
edit: insult was unnecessary.
I haven’t found a single model of wired noise canceling earphones in existence
And because you haven’t found them, they must not exist?

The ones that seal do provide sound isolation
And they’re lots of fun when there’s a cabin announcement.
I don’t care about them, the seatbelt light is either on or off, don’t bother me with what the temperature is at our destination
It doesn’t work that way. They’re piped through all audio channels at maximum volume.
Don’t care, gaming on my steam deck

Found these pretty quickly.
