But some bikers probably also use anc headphones, no?

Seen cyclists with overear anc headphones cycling on the road in london. Absolutely mad.

I do that. This was never a problem, as the ANC ones I used don't cancel every sound the same way.

For example, I can go into datacenter and it will cancel all the datacenter noise(aside for when air blows directly into mic, it overdrives it) but I can still hear what other person is saying.

Also I used them to generally listen to podcast so there was no wall of music to go thru, so sirens and such were easily discernable

You do you but as a cyclist you are super vulnerable to all manner of things and I'd never want to give up that kind of awareness.

If you listen carefully you can usually hear a cyclist behind you who may want to pass or is passing you, and having headphones probably makes that a lot harder

The most problematic people in traffic are never aware that they are the problem.

Do you also think drivers with windows blocking sounds and their stereo blasting are mad?
