They used to have "air tubes". You plugged in a two pin plug that was just a hollow tube. No electronics. This would connect to bigger tubes below the seat. The sound would be sent through the tube. They actually had a few different channels. The sound was OK but the best part was all of the second hand smoke. The 70's were fun.

The two pin electric earphone jack might be a carry over from this two hole air tube system. I've seen this air tube setup even in the early 2000s.

They were still around in some older planes in the 00s.
