Dozy buggers who wear headphones and are innattentive cyclists != wearing headphones makes you a dozy innattentive bugger.
I often wear open backed headphones when cycling. Haven't felt any less aware of what's around me when I do. In a busy urban center like London with tall, hard surfaced buildings around it's hard to tell where stuff is coming from anyway compared to being out in the sticks.
The people I'm worried about are those that never look around themselves, headphones or not.
