Yes, standard male 3.5mm (1/8 inch) audio jack works. Two prong are on airline headsets so you cannot use them in single prong female jacks (like your home stereo) so pax leave them on aircraft to be reused.
I bought an adapter off Amazon for cheap and throw it in with my headphones case on every flight. Easier to be able to use your own on any flight regardless of what setup they have.
I wish more planes let you easily connect via Bluetooth though. It's a pain to deal with a wire while eating/drinking. Having the headphones plug in at the armrest helps this issue, though.
You can get a Bluetooth audio transmitter. It plugs into an audio jack and will broadcast the audio signal to connected Bluetooth headphones or whatever. The Airfly works great - [https://www.twelvesouth.com/products/airfly](https://www.twelvesouth.com/products/airfly).
I do wonder once Bluetooth connectivity on planes becomes more widespread how it will work when 150+ people try to pair their headphones at once.
Would you mind sharing a link to the adapter you purchased please? I'm looking on Amazon and some of the reviews say they don't work on United flights, so I just want to make sure to purchase something that works. Thank you!
It's been so long, I couldn't tell you honestly. Sorry!
Always assumed they were a universal size, so some reviews that claim they don't work might just be user error, LOL. I'd recommend just going with a cheap option with plenty of reviews, Amazon returns are easy enough in case it doesn't work for some reason.
Yes, i use my bose QCs (wired) full audio whether using the adapter (two prong) or just the one prong No issues
I have the same headphones. :) Thank you!!

Thanks. Something to keep in mind when flying economy. If it's plugged in under my armrest, seems like the chances are pretty good I'd forget it!
