I used to ride with one ear bud in my right ear. After my dog crash, which I was NOT wearing-using my iPod, I don't use it anymore.

I went out on one ride with the one ear bud post crash... had a dog chase, and potentially could have heard him coming a little sooner without the earbud.

I love music. It motivates and enhances my ride (life). I really miss it. Riding is not the same without music.
