There are some noise reducing headphones (like Airpods Pro or Sony Wh-1000xm*) which have ambient mode - mixing music with external noises which also work great for that scenario.
- yurishimo 5y agoAirPods transparency mode isn’t as good. Idk if mine are broken or what, but if the volume is above 50% I still can’t hear anything. Comfortable listening volume for me is about 75%. That said, I do like using the AirPods while riding my motorcycle.
- logicalmonster 5y agoI have not tried those. Maybe they work great, but I'd find it harder to psychologically trust my environment if my ears were covered. Having my ears open to the environment means that I don't have to merely trust that some kind of noise mixing technology works perfectly. As far as anything like an earbud goes, I don't know if the shape of my ears is a bit unusual, but I cannot run with anything like an earbud without having the earbud slip out frequently. I need something like a headphone to avoid having to constantly fidget with my ears. Just my personal experience.
