I'd recommend against having one ear with a headphone. I find it messes me up dramatically-- it throws off my sense of placement (perhaps call it "hearing depth perception") to the point where it's worse than hearing nothing at all, since I'm constantly mis-placing sounds.
Better to use a normal set of headphones, in my opinion. The Sennheisers I mentioned work really well.

I ride with an earbud in my right ear, leaving my left open to hear cars, other cyclists, etc..The other earbud I just tuck into my shirt. I use SkullCandy INK'D earbuds. They're small, light, and have different sized silicone buds to size to your ears. I think they are perfect for riding.
