Headsets - CHSSA Guidelines
For stadiums that are hard-wired for sideline communication:
Since the visiting team has an expectation of the use of headsets, either both teams have them or neither team can use. I don't believe we have any stadiums that are hard-wired, but you may encounter this in a playoff game.

For all other stadiums:
Each team is on their own to provide wireless communication. It IS fair for the home team to have headsets and the visitors not, because the visitors should have made arrangements to get their own if they wanted them.
