The planes should start flying this summer. The upgrade comes as part of the company's "United Next" plan, which seeks to modernize the United fleet with larger, more fuel-efficient jets.

Overall, this is a very welcome addition. But there is one potential problem. As The Verge points out, everyone on a plane trying to connect their headphones via Bluetooth at once could cause a bit of interference and make the connecting process a tad annoying. According to The Verge, United doesn't seem to have direct plans to combat this yet, claiming it is still "studying the technology."
