No charging outlet in my seat, just a USB port, which did not work. On the flight from Dubai to Delhi, suddenly 30 min before landing, a man came to sit in the seat next to me as he was seating in an incorrect seat up until then and rather than wait for me to get up out of his way, he pushed past me snd tore my headphones out of the jack and broke them. I reported this to a flight attendant, who told me she would get someone to speak to him in Hindi because he did not speak English, but that never happened. People have raved out Emirates being so good, but I was not impressed at all.
