    I just want to know when I can connect my noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones to the display instead of the tinny pair of wired “maraccas” that I keep in my travel bag.

      The second we get a better short range wireless protocol so there aren’t a hundred Bluetooth devices jamming each other on the plane.

      If you travel a lot they do make airplane headphones that have a 3.5mm connector and run noise cancelling.

      Idk, 150 people in a tin can all using Bluetooth could cause issues.

      It would be better to get noise cancelling headphones with a 3.5mm headphone jack. I had some until my daughter broke them, and I loved them.

        Loads of people use Bluetooth devices on airplanes already. Are there any reports of destructive interference as is?

          Idk. But from my experience, it’s usually something like 20 people (me included). If you made that the default way to connect, I think more people would use them.

          Or maybe it’s not an issue, idk. I don’t know a ton about Bluetooth and airplanes.

            I would expect a plan to have a lot more than 20 people watching something on their phone with AirPods (or a clone thereof). Just about everyone that’s watching or listening to something on their phone nowadays is using BT headphones, because most phones don’t have 3.5mm jacks anymore.
