Reply to comment by deformi in eli5: Why do most airlines still use 2-pin audio jacks for the in-flight entertainment systems on their planes? by JJGLC92

Fair, but the 3.5mm headphone jack is over 70 years old and was made incredibly popular by the portable WalkMan cassette player released 40 years ago. Airlines installing unpopular or proprietary plugs in 25 year old aircraft still seems absurd.

What are you going to do, not take the flight?
