I don't care how new the planes look, how good the booze is on the international flights, etc., I have never been more cramped and felt more like in a huge livestock transport plane than in a Lufthansa 747. When your level of discomfort reminds you of early 90s TWA you know you are in trouble.

ps: The headphones were the standard leaking crappy stuff.

Leaky and crappy, yes, but they were made by Sennheiser.

I flew ANA and they used Sennheiser phones too. I'm not sure if it was them, or some other airline, but despite having two plugs, you will get sound using a pair of phones with a stereo minijack.

The ANA trip was in business class in their pre-sleeper-seat days, but what can I say, I fell asleep on a plane for the first time!

Some other airlines have done away with the 2 plugs altogether. and free alcohol seems to be the norm for most of the world, except america

And before I get dissed for non-audio talk.. I LOVE SAS! the best cabins of any commercial airline.
