Talking to a seat mate stranger for several hours is far less common and the persons doing so are usually not literally in next seat inches from ones ear. I’ve also noticed people on phones tend to talk louder. Listening to music on a plane is nearly universally done through headphones.

I don't necessarily mean a stranger. I mean a group of people who know each other and are flying together.

As for headphones, there's no reason they couldn't be used for the listening half of the call.
