I feel like if people are bothered by people talking nearby, they're going to be using headphones anyway. Honestly, you do you. Talking to yourself is far less disruptive than say, somebody tapping a pen consistently for extended periods of time or co-workers holding a loud conversation nearby or just even a mechanical keyboard.

On that note, sometimes I do wonder what my colleagues think, since I sometimes do the talking myself through a task as well.

Still, talking to yourself IS disruptive. Especially depending on your volume.

Unless you are playing music at a level that damages your hearing, headphones do not cancel out voices.

Agreed. And I will complain about unnecessary noises invading my space.
