It's not illegal to wear headphones while riding, either in practice or a race
However, the rules specifically prohibit any form of transmission between the rider, rider's bike, and the pit box (while the bike is out of the garage, including pit lane). What this means is that there is no radio between pilot and crew as in F1 or Nascar, and there is no equipment that is allowed to transmit data back and forth between the bike and the garage. Imagine getting information up and downloaded wirelessly while the bike was on track! You could load new maps as conditions changed . . . but anway, their is one loophole that data can be transferred between the bike and the garage only if the bike is in said garage. I have heard of some teams downloading the telemetry wirelessly from the bike, but most teams use a manual, hardline connection.
Here's another exception that occurred when a television program (or movie, can't remember), asked Dovi to give a corner by corner explanation of a circuit. It was requested to and approved during a practice session by the people in charge (which is basically the group consisting of the FIM, IRTA, and Dorna). The question is, what this recording being transmitted wirelessly or simply recorded on a portable MP3? Either way, it was approved so nothing happened. But do I think anyone would ever listen to music while riding a MotoGP bike? Never. The sound is so loud and constant, that most riders use additional sound proofing in their helmets even. One day I'll show what a true GP helmet is like, and how it differs from a street lid.
