New Rules Questions

It will be hard to play with new rules if you don't quite understand them.

I wonder what is meant by a reasonable objection in rule 1.7 iii. For example could "It should be a social game" count as being reasonable?

(iii) HEADPHONES, EARBUDS, ETC. -- While a match is in progress, a player shall have the right to use headphones, earbuds, or similar noise cancellation or music listening devices unless the player’s opponent expresses a reasonable objection to the player doing so. The Tournament Director shall adjudicate all such disputes, and additionally shall have the right to prohibit a player from using headphones or earbuds at any time.
