got me some airpods pro coup years back for endurance cycling.
i either use them in transparency mode so that i still CAN hear traffic WHILE listening music
or I use them as "colleague cancelling" earbuds and they are almost perfect for that
unfortunately, colleagues do dare to come over to you when wearing earbuds
so I recommend thick cans as an implicit "GTFO" signal.
when wearing my WH-1000XM3 can's, colleagues don't dare come near me
