Is listening to music/video reels/a show without headphones acceptable in an employee break room?

What about talking on the phone?

Presume that there is a low level of noise from other employees and presume that the phone call isn't just a quick one, but extended conversation. Presume that the employee in question has other places they could go to watch their videos or talk on the phone
