      Where I find this behavior most infuriating is on walking/biking trails in the forest preserve. Like, seriously!?! I get the desire to listen to something while exercising or just having your “you” time, but when you’re riding a bike that cost thousands, you can probably afford some bone conductors or at least ear buds that offer a hear through option. Hell, the expensive units refurbished on eBay get pretty damn cheap.

        I just bought a pair of anc earbuds for fun because I have a better set of anc headphones already. They sound way better than I expect or need and they were literally $25.

            Anker Soundcores is what I bought. They were a prime day deal (shudders) but I was on a free trial that I just canceled.
