A savvy traveller has shared a genius plane headphone hack that "helps so much" with long-haul flights.
The woman revealed that this simple trick allows passengers to clearly hear their in-flight movie while muting the noise from the cabin.
Given the often subpar sound quality against the backdrop of engine hum and chatter, finding a way to improve the audio experience can be a game-changer for people who struggle to unwind.
But now, thanks to a viral TikTok video, there's a nifty strategy for feeling like you're watching from the comfort of your couch rather than thousands of feet in the air.
The clever technique involves placing the airline-provided earpieces in your ears first, then topping them with your own headphones, creating an effective shield from any external noise.

However, it only works if you have over-the-head/earphones rather than those that sit in the ear canal.
Reacting to the TikTok video, people were amazed and rushed to share they would be trying the trick the next time they flew.
However, one user boasted: "Gamers have been doing this for years." Another person also quipped: "Until there's an announcement and you got the inside of the captain's mouth in your ears."
The tip comes after another savvy TikTok flyer, Lou, who uploads content as @loulouexplores, revealed a nifty iPhone trick for when you need to keep someone informed about your flight details. Whether it's family or friends picking you up from the airport, this tip is pure gold.

She adds: "I find this so useful, especially if someone is picking me up and they can use it [too]. You can check your terminal and gate, whether it's on time, departure time, arrival time, and how long the flight is."
