The airlines used to charge a "headphone fee". Back then, they had the "air hose" headphones. When the airlines switched to standard wired headphones and people started bringing their own, you had arguments like "$3 headphone fee" "but these are mine not yours" "well we have to charge you anyway" -- like a "corkage fee" in a restaurant? Then they started calling it a fee for using the on-board entertainment, regardless of whose headphones they were. Now, some airlines gave up and don't try to charge at all.
