..this basically means AirPods with transparency mode are shit for cycling in your opinion?
@h2o thanks for your feedback as well!

I'll second this. I tried cycling once in transparency mode, hated it. Normal was okay, but then I'm not a massive fan of cycling with earphones.
I had a cheap small handlebar speaker for a while that was fun, but then found you have to be very selective about what music you listen to, as you are forcing everyone else to it. So I ended up just listening to Classic FM or Radio 4 until it got nicked.
Kind of, but you lose the awareness of which direction things are coming from that you'd have if your ears weren't covered.
Transparency mode also does a good job of amplifying the wind and making what's playing on the phone inaudible.
