Headphones ???

[BillyMac]

Headphones worn by a player in the pregame warm-up layup lines.

Legal, or illegal?

I say illegal.

Headphones are not appropriate equipment for the game of basketball.

3-5-1: The referee shall not permit any team member to wear equipment or apparel which, in his/her judgment, is dangerous or confusing to other players or is not appropriate.

3-5-4-E: Head decorations and headwear, except those specified above, are prohibited.

3.5 SITUATION A RULING: The third criterion provides that equipment used must be appropriate for basketball and not be confusing.
