Funny double standard: in Quebec, cyclists cannot wear headphones. However, drivers are allowed to wear them in one ear, “in order for the driver to hear the sounds of the surrounding environment”. Even though drivers are already inside a vehicle and cyclists are not.

"The law allows only drivers of road vehicles to wear a headphone or earphone in only one ear, in order for the driver to hear the sounds of the surrounding environment."
"It is strictly prohibited to wear headphones or earphones in both ears.

"Note that wearing one or both earphones or headphones is prohibited when cycling."
