Airplane Airline Flight Adapters for Headphones， Airplane Headphone Adapter, UCEC 3.5mm Golden Plated Airline Earphone Adapter for in-Flight Entertainment System, 2 Pack (Blue)

Great

I lost the adapter that came with my Sony headphone and purchased these. They won't fit into the head socket in United business and first. Seeing as United Airlines has Bluetooth now it might not be an issue.

I carry these when I travel, though have found that most airplanes have been updated now to single connectors.

We recently took a flight to Europe on Emirates Airlines and wouldn't you know it, I couldn't use my own noise canceling headphones as they had the goofy two mono plugs and alas, my headphones wanted the single plug. So I purchased these for future flights. The airline provided headphones were nowhere near as nice as my headphones AND it was a long flight :(I have not been on a flight since purchasing but did test them using my computer. They did not seem to degrade the sound in any way that I could detect. My one issue is the female port for the headphones (both converters) is a little wonky. It works fine but is sensitive to movement. If you slightly pull on the headphone jack, the sound cuts out. I don't think this will be a problem on an airplane but I decreased my rating by one star as I would prefer it didn't do this. My headphones plugged directly into my computer do not exhibit this issue.The price is right and I am glad I have them for my next flight. The blue color makes them easier to see when you are trying to find everything as you get settled in for the flight. Overall, a good product.

I ordered the one with the stainless finish. So far I haven't tested it on a plane, but I tried plugging each jack of the adapter to my laptop one at a time, and the audio from both channels comes out great. The jacks plug in snug, and the 3.5mm earbuds jack also sits in the adapter nice and tight. I don't see how there would be any problems using it on a plane.It might be a minor note, but when I'm on a plane it's always difficult to find any items when you try to dig them from the carry on, pouch in front of you or the seat; they have a miraculous way of disappearing in the less than ample light of the plane. So the bright color for this utilitarian piece is also very welcome.

We took a trip to Europe this summer, and found that our very good, wired headphones could not work with the entertainment system on the planes. They have the typical single- prong jack, while the airline systems have a two-prong jack. Guessing that this is so the airlines can sell their cheapo headphones. Now we're ready for more trips - and these will definitely be in our carry-on bags. Can't rate how well they work yet but can't see any reason that they wouldn't do the job just fine.

These adapters are never bought out of necessity. Bottom line - you're either trying to save five bucks by not having to rent airline headphones, or you're trying to get maximum use out of the very spend headphones you brought that don't have that two-prong terminal. (That's because the two-prong terminal was invented to solve two problems (sound familiar?): stop theft of airline headphones; increase profits through rentals of proprietary headphones.Since I won' be flying until next month, I am going to have to pend comments on the audio quality for now. Nonetheless, I have some useful insights, here.In reading about these adapters, I found that many people complained about the loose fit the adapters had when plugged into airline seats. They said the connection was so loose, that ANY movement would cause one or both channels to drop out. As I read this and pondered anonymous , naked granny feet on my armrest, owned by a passenger I would never meet, behind me, I decided this was a very serious, and review-worthy issue. So I grabbed my caliper and got busy. Both posts came up at 3.3 mm, not the advertised, nor standard 3.5 mm. So I tested where I could. I plugged each side of the adapter into my phone and my laptop, to test the fit. Each was surprisingly very loose. Given the total use of either of these receptacles, compared to your typical 30-year-old airline receptacle, I think this could be a problem.The vendor of this adapter shows pictures of two very different implementations of this adapter. One is black with gold-looking terminals. The other is blue with stainless steel-looking terminals. I got the latter. Despite the copy in the advertisement claiming I have gold-plated terminals, I am pretty sure I do not. There also seems to be a difference in the plastics used. The black plastic looks very hard and brittle compared to the blue, which seems soft, supple, and resilient. This is important in that another of the serious complaints about these adapters is that they break in use. I can surely understand this, as the first stress test most of these get is trying to arrest a 200-pound man walking away by his ears, having forgotten to unplug in a dash to the john. I think it's reasonable that plastic is going to break if you do that once too many times. Fortunately, I do believe the malleable blue variety will hold up a little better, albeit without gold plating.Given that the most you are going to pay for one of these airline adapters is not much more than I paid for these, I'd probably shop until I found a review that specifically addresses the snugness of fit when plugging into an airline seat, and maybe a caliper measurement, or two. Oh, and definitely audio quality.I'd probably buy those, instead.Next month, on return, if this review gets published, I'll update with performance comments wrt the channel dropping out issue, and overall audio quality.

I used this on an Airbus A350 for a long haul flight to Southeast Asia and back, which I knew would have a dual-port headphone jack in the class of seats I bought. I have a pair of wired earbuds with silicon tips that are more comfortable than the airline-supplied over-the-ear headphones, so I was eager to try this out.Pros: The 2-to-1 jack works, it transfers all the sound to your single port jack and it holds your connection and the connection to the dual jack securely.Cons: You have to move your single jack around a little bit to get the full sound. I found that pulling it out ever so slightly gave me the full sound, versus having it completely pushed in snug. Thankfully it stays in that position easily, so I didn't have to continue adjusting it during the flight, otherwise I would have given it a worse rating.Overall, it's a good solution to use your own headphones instead of airline-supplied ones, thought it's not completely plug-and-play, it requires some minor adjustments on the single jack end to work completely.
