    This thought is rolling in my mind for quite some time now who better than you guys out here would give suggestions.
    I know most of the guys out here listen to music while riding( I too do) but how safe it is ? Wearing headphones and not able to listen whats going around could be quite dangerous not only to us but also to the fellow riders around.
    But considering the other side music is the best thing when riding on long and lonely highways.

    What could be the safety measures that could be followed that would make us listen to music and enjoy safe riding as well .
    Like what volume to listen to , using helmets with speakers or some thing else you people could think of..

    Post your suggestions that could help me as well as all the xbhpians.

    THANKS!!
    This thread is old and I hope you have got your answers.
    Anyways, coming to the point, it is not a good idea to listen to music from head phones, ear buds or any other in ear devices while riding. This does not allow you to listen to the traffic, horn from other vehicles etc. and may pose a risk to your life. Listening to music from external speakers would be ok but does make one look like a chapri. Nowadays there are many options available like bluetooth enabled speakers etc. Even scooters like ola are equipped with speakers to listen to music while riding.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers
