Is it legal to listen to music/headphones while biking in boston/cambridge/somerville?

There is currently no law against it, but, as I noted in this post, it’s not a very good idea to compromise your hearing on the road.  States like California do have laws that prohibit riding with headphones over both ears.  However, most anti-headphone laws (including California’s)permit cyclists to listen to music while they ride, as long as it’s only in one ear.
