Short answer but they actually use earbuds for game audio and the headphones are mostly for blocking out external noise. Plus, those big headphones have a mic for talkin to the team.

CS:GO pros wear earbuds for the in-game sounds like footsteps and gunshots, which helps them make strategic decisions. The headphones are for noise cancellation from the crowd and to communicate with their team. It's all about separating game sound from environmental noise and team communication.

From personal experience, wearing both earbuds and headphones in tournaments seriously ups your game. You hear every detail in-game through the buds, and the headphones keep you focused by blocking out the fans screaming. Plus, it's a great way to show off your team's sponsors.

Honestly, it's just for show. Looks cool and professional, plus sponsors love it when their gear is front and center!
