I use ipad occasionally but today I came across a new "icon", which I have never seen before.
I have not connected any headphones to the iPad. So, what is the little "headset" icon on top of the app icon in the dock?
iPadOS: 14

I was just wondering the same. According to 3 Reddit threads this is a Siri App Suggestion based on having used the suggested app with headphones.
These are the threads:

This is a handoff suggestion from another device. Usually it’s a recommendation from an iPhone but I’ve seen it come from a Mac as well that had any sort of headphones attached. Could be AirPods or generic Bluetooth or wired headphones.
Siri settings can be relevant here as well:
Maybe you were just listening to this app in background? Or using it on your mac?

No. I didn’t connect any headphones and no music is playing and all the apps are closed in the background Commented Mar 30, 2021 at 8:46
