One would be specialized headphones with a Bluetooth protocol that allows airline audio systems to forcibly pair with them so communications delivered through the overhead speaker system still reach your ears if you happen to be wearing them. The other, probably more popular version, would be for each
seat to have its own Bluetooth system installed, which you can voluntarily pair with any multipoint headphones.

Surely an interfering "squawk" across the entire Bluetooth band would be enough to disable Bluetooth connections without screwing with other devices like hearing aids & pacemakers (& the aircraft's own systems...)? |

//A few - not many - multipoint bluetooth earbuds do allow streaming simultaneously from two sources// the cheapest Bluetooth headphones I ever owned allowed this, $20 no-name Amazon specials and my Anker P40i earbuds that are currently connected to my phone and workstation. |

Seat back entertainment screens do have to be extensively tested, but I'm willing to bet they're fundamentally quite similar to an android tablet. Pairing your Bluetooth headphones should be easy enough. If there are challenges, it will be the sheer number of devices in close proximity. |
