Or how often do you watch movie with headphones?

One potentially useful feature would be spatial audio on conference call when multiple people talk - you can discern different information sources when they come from different direction. AFAIK that’s how fighter jet helmets work.

Probably most people in the world.

I've rarely lived alone and always have roommates 25-35 and I'm amazed how much HNers lose touch when they get older, stop having roommates, live in a house, don't see how other people relax.

Maybe I'm coming off as mean, I don't want to. But also consider the new culture of permanently-worn earbuds. I know headphones used to be a hassle when I was growing up. But now you will notice people who never even remove them all day. So it's not extra leap to watch a movie on their phone with earbuds, something all of my roommates do.

I'm sure there are people who do that, but it's minority. On the go you'll maximum watch 15 minute YouTube while having lunch. Rest is podcasts/music I believe.

At home I prefer my laptop speakers over AirPods just because of comfort - audio quality doesn't overcome the hassle. Laptop speakers generally aren't disturbing flatmates enough.
