I wear an I-pod with plug style ear buds.
I do feel less safe, but I have more fun. I guess it could be argued that music makes you loosen up, as I seem to ride better when I'm pumped, but I think it's mostly imagined, and I do miss some things.
You get a feel for your engine when you cant hear it, and I find I try to shift to seventh less, although it does still happen because I am incapable of counting.
Long freeway rides it is a must, In town it is an option.
