Listening to music is easier I guess than speech radio. I was always against cycling with earphones but have recently found great pleasure in headphones (outer ear variety) and a volume level loud enough to hear myself speak. I still get the music and don't feel cut off from everything going on around me.

same dilemma here and was really considering bone conduction, but now i am thinking either a funky minimal phone holder on the bike (my phone is waterproof) and use its speaker, or i've seen an armband from PROVIZ that takes a phone and again just use the speaker in the phone - i know its not going to be mega quality in any way, but i feel it might be the right compromise....
anyone know what that phone holder is called thats basically a tiny elastic band?

Apple earbuds are perfect for this- they are so crap at isolating and controlling noise leakage that even at a decent volume I can hear very well what is going on around me.

Nah, I find it too distracting even to have my mind occupied with listening to something. Noticed even when pootling about I make bad judgements if I've got headphones on. Each to their own, but for me, it's not worth even a slight change in my focus on my commute.
