No, they have electronic ones but are essentially a separate plug for left and right audio.

I think it's implied that the sentence would continue "instead of single jacks like everything else has", but I guess it could apply to entirely different connection methods like bluetooth.

And the headphones worked like stethoscopes. They were hollow tubes that channeled the sound from the jack (which was basically just a hole) and the sound came through into your ears.

It was typically because of budget overruns. Some episodes were more expensive than planned and to save money they would do a clip-show.
