I listened to music on one 2.5 hour ride over the mountains (33-220-250) and it was a nice addition, but I just felt too unsafe. For the music to be loud enough for me to hear it over the bike (when going up the Mt) it had to be quite loud and it definately drowned out ambient noise. Plus, I found that not hearing the engine/brakes/tires made me less smooth.
I decided that it was best to leave them off for that type of ride. If I was doing 100 miles of tuck-and-go I-81 or something, I would probably be fine with music. Anything but rides that require 80-100% awareness.
