No as it's a communication device

If you think the coach is using the headphones as a communication device *with players on the floor (highly unlikely)*, sure. Otherwise I'd leave it alone.

Rule 1-19: "The use of electronic devices is permitted during the game."

Rule 10-1-3: A team must not "use a megaphone or any electronic communication device, or electronic equipment for voice communication with players on the court, or use electronic audio and/or video devices to review a decision of the contest officials." [My emphases.]

It depends on whom he's communicating with, and why.

And of course with ordinary headphones all the communication will only be one way communication.

What if he's just listening to some classic 1970's R and B?

If a coach is wearing a tin foil hat, I don't care who he's communicating with, I'm not telling him to take it off.

Incorrect. Well, maybe for "ordinary" headphones, but I have not seen someone use "ordinary" headphones for years.
