You do what you want. For me the music is backround noise. It adds to the ambiance, but it isn't the primary objective. It is possible to listen to the music and still use all of your senses. I don't see the point in completely cutting one off intentionally, but I know that's what you will say about me not using a mirror, so I'll just leave it at that. To each his/her own. Whatever makes you feel safe. But if I come up on you and you are in my way and you don't hear me asking you to move over because you are compltely isolating yourself, then I'll smack you. Just you. Of course that scenario shouldn't happen because you are always looking in your mirror, but I encounter people like that all the time.
Do you ride in traffic without a mirror? Well, natural selection I guess.
And enough of the threats internet tough guy.
I'd be embarrassed.
