Delta flyers in first and business classes are in for a treat. The airline has upgraded their headphones to a version of the LSTN Sound Co.’s Troubadour, a full-size over-the-ear model with wooden earcups and noise cancellation. Similar (but not identical) products sell on the LSTN website starting at $149. The partnership will support the Starkey Hearing Foundation, which has provided ear care and hearing aids to 22,000 people around the world.

The audio bling is part of an effort to improve the flying experience, which also includes chef-curated meals, seasonal wines, and (be still, my heart) high-capacity overhead bins. The headphones are taking wing in flights between New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. And no, you can’t take them home.
