I love music, I love having access to it, but I recognize as a survivor of violence that headphones take away awareness of one's surroundings. I've stopped using them and would only use them on trains and planes where there's a bit more security. Busses and Subways don't seem as secure. Walking and running outside and other public ventures just seem problematic with headphones moreso than it did before I got attacked. To clear up any potential questions, I wasn't wearing headphones at the time, but now I recognize they're pretty terrible when it comes to spatial awareness.
