Sounds like what you propose is some common sense for the ones trying to hit on someone who's not interested. And I would say that would make sense everywhere, not only in the gym
Yeah, just don't bother people wearing headphones period. If they wanted to be bothered, they wouldn't be wearing headphones.
What if you want to listen to your own playlist or podcast, but also wouldn't mind conversing should the opportunity arise?

You can't have it both ways. Wearing headphones is a pretty universal signal that you don't want to be bothered.
I used to shift one headphone off ear to indicate that I'm ok to talk
