What are your thoughts on this and if you do listen to music, any tips to be able listen and keep safe at the same time?
Safe as long as you're a safe rider in general. Hearing incoming traffic is not impaired in any way that impacts safety, and what does it tell you except not turn into the traffic- which is stupid anyway. Common wind and general traffic noise has more impact than ear buds
