Haha, hilarious!
As many people have already mentioned, they are for her to hear what her band is playing aswell as to hear her own voice. The speakers on the stage are made specially for forcing the sound forward, not backward. Ayumi is more or less not hearing a bit of what her band members are playing unless she puts the headphones on. She is also one of the only people who can hear the audience cheer/scream/sing along if she takes them of, everyone else in the audience is deafened by the sound of the speakers. The cheering of the crowd is always very apparent in the DVD versions, like when she runs on stage when the Encore starts. When you are there, in the arena, you can barely hear it because of the insane sound level having put your hearing down.
I think they look amazing, I really want a pair
