For battery, I think it can be connected directly to power instead of always rely on battery. I may need pure-battery when moving around (hopefully nothing more than 2hr) but have it plugged in when I am stable.

I think the plane ride use case is what people target the most, but then again bringing extra powerbanks is feasible

I can't think of a flight I've taken in the last 5 years where my seat didn't have it's own 110V/220V outlet and multiple USB ports.

Always literally the cheapest tickets I could book, always economy class. Domestic US, domestic Canada, 8+ countries international.

I would imagine that the target demographic flies premium/business and will almost certainly have power sockets for long flights.

Are there lots of airlines that don’t have power at every seat now?

In a long-haul Turkish Airlines flight I took in October, I only had USB-A power. But it was economy, who knows what the higher tiers had.

I was very surprised not to have it in business class on the return trip over the Atlantic around Christmas, so it happens.

Airlines in Europe often don't have it on short-haul flights

The target use case for this is a long-haul drive in the Cybertruck

I wonder how much charging ones headset would reduce the driving range.

lol. Upvote. Wait, Idlewords? Should have guessed. We’ve missed you!

Probably anyone flying with a $4000 headset has a seat with a power outlet

Most planes have power points these days too.
