Detachable ears are called headphones. :)

I'm not arguing that it's practical to do, but an ideal multiseat system
would be able to give each user two dedicated channels, so they can each
plug in their own set of headphones (modern surround sound cards have
tons of audio outputs).  Of course, implementing and configuring this
would probably be extremely difficult, so I'm not volunteering. :)
