This exactly. Why watch from a crappy phone screen and have to worry about plugging it in, wifi dropping, etc. You can watch an entire movie, show, or TV on your own audio. It's a game changer for making 3+ hours go by quickly. It's especially so when you're in economy and you can't really get comfortable enough to sleep, so might as well watch stuff.
