Why film-music conductor commonly get a head-phones together with musicians when working in recording session?

Is it indispensable only in recording?

[Elmo Lewis 6]

My guess is that it's important that the conductor hears the music as the recording device is "percieving" it, not as as he perceives it from where he is.

What they are all listening to is something called a "click track," which is a metronome noise that helps the conductor and the musicians keep in time with the movie.

Yes, didn't you know, Morricone doesn't need clicktracks... HE can handle the orchestra without and keep the perfect tempo with his blssed hands!

But as most people in the industry have attested to, Williams' headphones are nothing more than glorified earmuffs.

Korngold almost never used a click track either, which is even more challenging in his case because his music is so rhythmically limber and has all sorts of weird meter and tempo changes, whereas Morricone's scores tend generally to submit to the tyranny of the pulse. And now, I join in on the laughter:

Morricone use headphones of course, however he doesn't be helped with big screens as it's done in Hollywood studios, just a small tv on desk.
