Default Headphones while riding?

I have never done it, so I am wondering how many people use headphones to listen to music while riding?

If you are using an intercom headset, please tell me which one and how you like it.

Thanks.

I do it when riding solo. On one hand I agree it's a little unsafe but I've never had a problem with paying attention and I've noticed I can still hear sirens. I usually wear earbuds

Shure ear buds here. Only on the highway, though.

My brother and I ride together a lot and use the sena SMH10 headsets. We use them mostly for talking to each other bike to bike but I use my cellphones media player to listen to music when we aren't talking. They really do work well on the volume and are stereo on the music.

I bought a set of headphones that velcro into my fullface helmet where my ears are. They work great and were only 99 cents on ebay.
