I don't think that cyclists should use headphones or ear phones while cycling. I have had a few occasions where I have almost been taken off my bike by people cycling with them who have not heard me shout warnings. That said, more worrying is that people driving vehicles should do so with their windows closed and music blaring. Indeed, these days, many drivers choose to wear earphones while driving. I once witnessed a truck running over a cyclist. Dozens of people were screaming at the driver who ploughed on oblivious to his actions, windows closed and probably listening to some music.
