Or... you could just get a wireless device and not deal with wrapping and shoving cables every time you want to listen to something. I put airpods in my ear and the music starts playing. It's just a much better experience than wired headphones were. No reaching through my shirt. No getting the cable caught anyway. No pulling my device around when I get up but forget to unplug.

Or you could just use a typical headphone cable that's not a real problem. Takes a few hundred milliseconds to put thru front of shirt when getting on a bike. Checking the tires and breaks, right? Faster than putting on a helmet.

Don't forget the various BT and battery issues, (not to mention spending another hundred+ dollars) which are documented extensively elsewhere on this page.
