wearing headphones while riding a bicycle in town makes you less aware of your surroundings than not wearing headphones.
But you can be excellent in all other aspects of how you're riding and as a whole be better than many non-headphone-wearing cyclists.
I personally don't listen to music 'on the go' but I can completely understand why someone would.
At least people might shut up about helmets for a bit.
