"so you can still hear the world around you"

Isn't that the exact opposite reason of why people wear headphones?

Eeeehhhhh that depends.

I work delivering food on a bicycle. I need to be able to hear things. Would be nice if I could listing to my playlists and not drown out the car coming my way.

May I suggest checking these out? https://shokz.com/products/openrunpro

Not affiliated, just like mine for when I need to keep my ears completely open. Audio quality is surprisingly good, but also never going to compete with something whose sole purpose is to sound good i.e. non-sporty headphones.

Bike riding is perfect for these bone conducting headphones, you can listen to tunes while hearing absolutely everything.

I have a pair, and they're really convenient. Occasionally they do make me feel sick if I wear them too long though
