Singapore Airlines headphones

Hello, I've just bought some cheap headphones with a 3.5 mm jack.  Does anyone know if this will fit the Singapore Airlines entertainment units? Thank you.

I think you've wasted your money, Singapore apparently provide earphones.

You are right. They do.

Economy class sockets have three holes, one for single stereo 3.5mm plugs like yours, the other two for the twin plugs of the headsets provided by SQ.

Singapore Airlines free headphones in economy are truly awful,unusable imho. Pretty good in premium economy though.

Thank you all, I am in economy.  For 12 hours!  I was hoping these over the head headphones would be more comfortable.

If you are a regular traveller (not just flying) a more expensive pair of over ear headphones are a solid choice.

Several good brands out there at reasonable prices - I still use my Sennheiser PX200, bought years ago, on holiday.

This type of adaptor is also essential kit for many airlines.

Thank you very much.  Now I have my 'bus pass' I have been using the bus to go into town, the journey takes an hour and a half '.  I think I will invest in a good pair, thank you for the recommendation.

Noise-cancelling headphones are very useful for long flights, cutting out the background roar of the engines and giving clearer soundtrack to movies without the need for high volume, and of course better music quality. I used to have a pair of Bose 'Quiet Comfort' which were very good, Sony and other high-end brands also have such products.
