I've worn sound protective earphones like that before when doing some loud work at a job and I would expect that they do just fine keeping the players from hearing the casters. this would be accurate.  | ||

You basically can't hear the casters in that situations, or loosen your headphones without being noticed. I believe that's how we're doing it at i40. this is the most common setup I've seen, at least watching BW. | ||

I guess the players probably don't care? I'd be interested to hear their opinion. Maybe they can hear the crowd reactions through the headphones faintly anyway. | ||

It can often let you know something big is about to happen. | ||

If a proxy rax is built in the center of the map (or wherever), the crowd will most likely go wild/start screaming or something. This will easily raise a red flag for the player as to "what the fuck are they screaming for nothing is going on-or is there". | ||
