Applicable bit of Georgia law:

  40-6-250.  Wearing device which impairs hearing or vision

    No person shall operate a motor vehicle while wearing a headset 
or headphone which would impair such person's ability to hear... 
provided, however, that a person may wear a headset or headphone for 
communication purposes only while operating a motorcycle.

So, you might argue that open headphones don't impair your ability to 
hear, at least no more than you could hear in a closed vehicle with 
the radio volume set to 11.   Around here, though, I expect you would 
have to be run over by a fire truck with sirens and horn blazing 
before you would get prosecuted.

To bring this thread full circle...My earbuds are open on the back, 
but I like the sound of the stock muffler, as supplied by TRF some 
years ago.  I took the radio out of the car.

I bet it's an ADA requirement.
