No, they give you wireless headphones. It may be best to check, but I
think big chains like Odeon and Cineworld have AD running pretty much
every showing - for the big films of course, smaller titles may not.
Certainly the last few films I have seen, Skyfall, Dark knight Rises,
Prometheus all had AD.
