I tell them to remove the headphones, during warm-ups. It's easily understood as a safety issue.
I also tell the players to tuck in their jersey, remove rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc. The liability coverage under our contract is void if we don't follow the prescribed responsibilities we incur as our part of that agreement.
