Hi all. Been following along with keen curiosity. Thank you to those that have provided pictures and information about the launch of the new cabin seating.
I have a question about the new J class. Specifically regarding the window seats (A and K), will the bulkhead row still be the pick? Am I right in assuming that there will be a similar style bench for your feet as per A350 bulkhead J, instead of the cubby in the non-bulkhead rows?

Orionmiz posted recently that the new SQ economy earbuds come together with a detachable adapter, that you can use with your own headphones, so this should resolve the issue as soon as these earbuds are rolled out fleetwide.
On the other hand, airline headphone adapters are fairly inexpensive and widely available (I've seen them between USD3 and USD12), so if you are a frequent flyer, I would recommend just buying an adapter and keeping it with you all the time.

Originally posted by SQ025 View PostIts easier with an adaptor. But it works also without adapter, just do not fully insert the plug. You got to play a bit with the right positioning, than it works in something what should be stereo sound.

I honestly don't understand why they can't just make a one-pin plug instead then. Is it much more expensive?!
I understand that in the past part of the reason they did this is to prevent passengers from removing the headsets. However, now given that SQ doesn't even give out headsets in Y-class, why don't they revert it to the normal plugs.

Originally posted by SQfanatic View PostAh! Now that you mentioned that part, I can now recall that I did use my regular JVC headphones without an adapter; for me it works, but it only plays from one ear. Not the case with SQ cheapo buds. Audio quality wise because my headphones have a similar muff that can cancel out the noise, it is more or less the same as SQ's cheapo buds now that I think of it.
