I can’t quote you any statistics about injury or death caused my riders wearing earbuds. Maybe they exist, maybe they don’t. There are such stats for drivers though. Because “safe” is a subjective term, no, I can’t state as fact that doing so is “unsafe”. I can state as fact that music distracts you. Again, it is the literal purpose of listening to it in the first instance. David’s point is a good one...no one can credibly argue that it is more safe to ride with them. It is a “negative” on the safety spectrum. Maybe not enough to cause accidents, injury or death, but definitely a negative.
Comparable to the Varia for me. I just bought one after reading and listening to others on this forum. I don’t know if that device will save me from injury or death. But, there is no doubt that device is a positive in the safety scale.
