In Washington, you can have one ear piece in that has music or a cell phone, but you can't have both ears with headphones in. That's true for both bikes and cars. However, ear plugs are okay on the bike, as they don't keep you from hearing sirens or horns. Also, I can talk to my wife at a stop light when she's on her bike next to me. So, I don't buy people's arguments that they restrict hearing too much :-P
