Hi, strange question for you all. Does anyone know if you can use a headphone splitter in the UC seats? Travelling with SC junior & wondered if we'd be able to sit together to watch a film (& both be able to listen using a splitter). Can't remember what the headphone sockets are like in UC so wondered if anyone knows if they're compatible with splitters?
Thanks
SC

Normal headphone jacks fit into the all the sockets on VS IFE. If the splitter has a normal jack, then I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work.

Isn't there two sockets?
Seem to remember mrs NH and mini NH sat watching some film, both wearing headphones..
Mind I was in a red wine haze.. :w and she could of been listening to something completely different and just laughing when prompted..

I think there are two sockets because noise cancelling headphones have two prongs. I just plug my Bose in ear phones in - that is why I assume a splitter will work fine.

The two sockets cover power to the Virgin headsets and the other sound (the two prongs). So if your headset has it's own power or doesn't need it you'll be fine.

Thanks guys, although I just about know Toy Story 3 off by heart, if I've got to watch it again, I think I'd rather have volume!
