I catch myself doing that, but normally, when I get into a conversation, I take off my headphones even though the volume is so low that I can hear what people are saying across the street while my earbuds are on.

Damn sorry you have such a simple mind :-)

if you had two different songs playing in each earphone you wouldn't have double the enjoyment, you'd just hear crap, it's the same for trying to talk to someone and listen to a song. Or perhaps I'm not so socially inept that I think it's acceptable to give someone half my attention.

It is because people unattatch themselves from reality and find their safe place in music. It was a safe space before safe spaces that includes booming bass where people just want to feel bad ass. There is a chance nobody wants to hear what you have to say as well.

Mall music is just background noise, music directly next to your eardrum is foreground noise, it has priority because it's the loudest, clearest thing you can hear with that ear. The problem is that 50% of what you hear is dominated by that headphone, whilst the other ear tries to listen to the conversation. Mall music doesn't hinder anything the same way the noise of traffic doesn't hinder anything, you could transcribe a video whilst mall music played in the background, but you couldn't transcribe a video whilst talking to someone, at best your attention would be constantly shifting between the video and the conversation.

Again dude, Im sorry that:

1. You cant focus on a conversation and listen to music.
2. You cant pick up that someone probably doesnt want to talk if theyre leaving an earbud in.
3. Someone clearly did this to you and you took offense.

2. You cant pick up that someone probably doesnt want to talk if theyre leaving an earbud in.

So what you're saying is, by listening to music, they're not paying attention to the conversation, because they don't want to talk, they want to listen to music, the fact that they can't focus on the conversation indicates that I should take a hint of "I'm not paying attention to this conversation". Or listening to music doesn't hinder the conversation, the conversation would be the same regardless of if they had a headphone in, in which case what about that shows they don't want to talk?

Not wanting to talk has no bearing on their ability to listen to your conversation.

but if they can have the same level of conversation with or without a headphone, the headphone makes absolutely zero difference, what about having one headphone in signals that they don't want to talk, is it the fact that their attention is occupied with something else? Because if not, then there's no reason to take headphones off to talk, it makes no difference, so why would wearing a headphone change anything.

It isnt a personal attack. You genuinely come off like youve had a negative personal experience with this topic, and youre lashing out about it.
