From a pure safety perspective i totally agree with airlines switching off IFE for critical phases of flight, and collecting headsets before landing. Not being able to hear critical safety announcements is a major concern. If an emergency occurs during landing it may not be possible to make an announcement over the tannoy and therefore cut into people glued to IFE.
