In New York State headphones/earbuds used in both ears are against traffic

Section 375 (24-a). It shall be unlawful to operate upon any public highway
in this state a motor vehicle, limited use automobile, limited use
motorcycle or bicycle while the operator is wearing more than one earphone
attached to a radio, tape player or other audio device.
