What also happens quiet frequently when a sector is quiet is that the controller may slip their headset off their ears and let it rest around their neck and listen to a loudspeaker instead as it is more comfortable. However this normally means that the mike is further away from their mouth and tranmissions may not be as strong. It is quite common as allows a relief from pressure on ears but if it starts to get busy again the headset is just put back on quickly.
