New style of head-phones in Domestic Y

[BD1959]

Hi All,

New style of head-phones on Thursday's 671 and Sunday's 839. With the padded cover over the sponge, this gives them a better esthetic. Not sure whether psycho-suggestive, but the sound quality seemed better (sat in the same seats with the old head-phones on the 754).

The red Q logo has gone from the band, replaced with the Qantas logo on the sides.

Apologies for the poor quality of the photos.



Regards,

BD

The other ones I could barely hear anything, I always bring my own.

Thanks for posting. I'm glad they haven't moved totally to the earphones. Hope the sound is a bit better than the old ones though.

Got those on the weekend. They certainly look better, but I wasn't convinced they actually did a better job.

Are there pictures included in the first post?
Can any one see them?

I'm using the new app on my iPhone and just see 3 white squares.

If the App's been developed by the QF Work Experience team, anything is possible!

They look a little better than the ones where you get zero volume. But I prefer to BYO.

BYO hear (sic)

Noise cancelling +1

Another +1 for the BYO option.

I BYO headphones aswell but don't use one of those 2-into-1 adaptors, I just usually plug my jack into one of the sockets and jiggle it around till it works in both LR speakers. Do others use an adaptor?

I would hope they're better than the old ones. I could only ever get one ear to work on them.

I used the new head-phones last week on a refurbished A330 to watch a movie, and they are much better than the older version.

Yeah I carry a couple around in my headphone case.

I will stick with my Bose.

Note the Qantas magazine states that you must use a two-pin adaptor for single pin headsets.

I have seen these new headphones the last few times on Qantas. Are they really better than the previous headphones? I had a problem with one of the sets on my last flight and had to use a new set.

Pix work a lot better than the new headphones, in my opinion.

One pin = two contacts = mono sound. Two pins = stereo
jiggle it around until it works = reduced life, broken socket and unhappy passenger who follows.
buy an adaptor.
