For more than a decade, I have traveled with an extra monitor. It is a life-saver for productivity on the go. Plus, if you keep an HDMI cable, you can use
By earphones I mean in-ear models. Maybe there is some weird over-ear model with that feature, but when IEMs add the Bluetooth feature, the cord gets cut from the design
Damn, you’re right. For many years I used the Bose Quiet Comfort 20, but those aren’t made anymore. There are still some options but none of them look great. The major brands just stopped making them. Ironically the first pair I found was USB-C with an adapter.
I didn’t want that model because you can’t switch the cable. I’m not paying $100 for something that breaks when the cable breaks (which is always the first thing to go)
@iopq@threshold_dweller There’s been quite a few wired earbuds with ANC over the years. Not many now though. I would imagine they sound like a dreadful compromise.
3.5mm earphones don’t block 85db of plane noise
The ones that seal do provide sound isolation
And they’re lots of fun when there’s a cabin announcement.
I don’t care about them, the seatbelt light is either on or off, don’t bother me with what the temperature is at our destination
It doesn’t work that way. They’re piped through all audio channels at maximum volume.
Don’t care, gaming on my steam deck
Most over-ear noise cancelling headphones I’ve seen have a 3.5mm input that works with the noise cancelling.
Yet I haven’t heard of an earphone with this functionality
What? My 20 years of flying regularly with 3.5mm headphones must have been a very long hallucination.
I said earphones and you’re talking about headphones
They make both.
edit: insult was unnecessary.
I haven’t found a single model of wired noise canceling earphones in existence
And because you haven’t found them, they must not exist?

I wouldn’t call it quite a few, you can count them on one hand
On the other hand, there’s thousands of TWS
