With a two hour battery life? I don't see it.


Most flights I've been on have USB charging ports. Is it different where you live?


Those USB charging ports are usually very low power. The circuits also have maximum loads, meaning that if too many people are using USB charging ports, they drop even further. I've measured output on several airlines. Two topped out at 5W. The other at 12W. This is likely WELL below the requirements for this headset.

One will have more success with the wall outlets, but most flights don't have these. Even many international flights don't offer them.
