Wait a minute, really? Planes with onboard radio stations in the armrests broadcast during takeoff and landing, and I've used headphones with those. How would using your own advice be any different?

The armrest stations are interrupted for deafening announcements over the PA system.

They are different because you can't hear emergency announcements. The in-seat audio is able to cut across to an announcement if necessary.
