When flying, why is my in-seat audio always broken or too loose?

Upvote:6

As someone who flies 100k+ per year, my experience is just the opposite, 90% of flights work just fine.

Perhaps the routes you fly are served by older aircraft, perhaps you just have bad luck.

Bottom line the audio systems are constantly having plugs inserted and removed, frequently being removed by force (knocked out accidentally by body parts). And so the jacks wear out.

Most airlines will fix broken audio systems during scheduled maintenance not immediately, as the systems are built into the seats and there just isn't enough time to perform the necessary repairs between flights. So a broken jack could remain broken for a while.
