Well we have another looong series of flights (to the Philippines) coming up soon, and I just thought I would ask about something I have never seen mentioned here. I am referring to those so-called earbud microphones that the airlines either give you or try to sell you for access to their sound systems. I have a couple of sets of these that I have accumulated over the years, but I really don't like them. I know you can use aftermarket systems of various types to improve your listening experience, and was wondering what you guys like to use for this? I will be using Delta for this trip, and will obtain a couple of sets of those two pronged adapters which will convert a standard plug to the airline plugins (although I now hear that the newer planes don't use these two pronged setups anymore?). I am looking hard at a set of Panasonic earbuds, as I don't know if anything much better would be worth it in an airliner situation, but I don't know. What do you folks think? Many thanks for your input.
