Maybe I'm missing something, but couldn't you just buy the proper adapter for $1.60? http://amzn.com/B00G53TDF4 http://amzn.com/B00G53TDF4

- timor 10y agoIt's a long shot, but you might be missing that he was on an airplane?

- lucaspiller 10y agoYou can also just use normal headphones, but not push them in all the way into the socket. You'll only get mono (through both speakers, but only a single channel), but if you don't have an adapter it works and your headphones are probably a lot better than what's on the aircraft. The third pin is to provide power for active-noise cancellation headphones. Most airlines usually only give them out in business and above now.
- tedmiston 10y agoWhy does this work exactly? I did this once on a flight by accident using Apple earbuds then confused myself when I couldn't replicate it. Thanks for the tip.
- tedmiston 10y agoI've always wondered why they don't just supply these on the plane. One adapter would last much longer than one pair of shitty airplane headphones that most people toss after the flight anyway.
