I had a flight around 2012 with this feature. I liked it a lot.

You could probably get a stethoscope and pull the end off, then just place the tube on your phone speaker to get the same effect. It was very hollow sounding. I did enjoy a handful of movies with them on the flights, so they worked enough.
