I'm really not in general in favor of making things illegal.
I *am* frustrated that there's no point in even attempting to say "on your left" to people with headphones, because I know 100% of the time they won't hear me or react. But if they were wearing headphones and keeping enough to the right that there was space to pass, or wearing them at a reasonable volume which allowed for some awareness of the world outside, or wearing them but being sure to look around occasionally (and especially whenever changing direction), that wouldn't be a problem, right?
