Yes. Related, I really do not need my headset to blink in the eyes of the person I sleep next to this hard. Why does it blinks seven times every time I use any command like volume up and down?

So thick black tape it is. (Can't do anything about this voice screaming the headset's status though.)

LEDs that are too bright on my laptops get similar treatment. I try to leave them a bit visible, enough to see in a dark room whether they are on, but the laptop not sending light including when it's suspended is more important.
