I avoid listening to music or anything other than my environment as much as I can . I will admit to listening to a Sunday afternoon hockey game recently on a rail trail ride with my girlfriend, but even then I had the earbuds dangling below my ears suspended by the helmet straps. I won't even consider using them on the road.
Even when I'm in a "safe" environment like a rail trail I still don't actually put the bud in my ear. I do it like this.

The bud (green) ends up right below my earlobe allowing me to hear the radio, but doesn't impede my hearing. I by no means advocate this for traffic, but in a "safe" setting it works for me.
