For more than a decade, I have traveled with an extra monitor. It is a life-saver for productivity on the go. Plus, if you keep an HDMI cable, you can use
Idk. But from my experience, it’s usually something like 20 people (me included). If you made that the default way to connect, I think more people would use them.
Or maybe it’s not an issue, idk. I don’t know a ton about Bluetooth and airplanes.
I’ve been on budget flights where in flight infotainment was an app on your phone that connects to a media server on the plane itself. Everyone was using Bluetooth and there are no issues.
I would expect a plan to have a lot more than 20 people watching something on their phone with AirPods (or a clone thereof). Just about everyone that’s watching or listening to something on their phone nowadays is using BT headphones, because most phones don’t have 3.5mm jacks anymore.
Idk, 150 people in a tin can all using Bluetooth could cause issues.
It would be better to get noise cancelling headphones with a 3.5mm headphone jack. I had some until my daughter broke them, and I loved them.
If it could, planes would be dropping right and left. It hasn’t been an issue in several decades
Loads of people use Bluetooth devices on airplanes already. Are there any reports of destructive interference as is?

Also consider smart watches.
