Idk call me old school. If your not taking calls/in a meeting I don't see the need for them.
Just me being an old man yelling at someone on my lawn

it makes sense. I'd say for me, it has been useful to fade out office noise especially in an open plan office. However, I also acknowledge that it can also be detrimental to team collaboration if not handled properly and without communication. Eg, if someone using headphone, ir deters other to approach them thinking they are on call. But this can be avoided if the teams agree on what the headphone means for everyone in the team. It varies from team to team. ☺️
Very fair points
