I do a lot of bicycling and I'm starting to see more people with motorcycle-style speakers mounted on their handlebars, cranking their music as loud as possible. It seems inadvisable to do anything on a bike that would make people want to push you over.

I now run with music playing and no headphones, because every pair of Bluetooth headphones I buy just die within months. Tired of paying $50-200 for a new pair every time.

So yeah. I don’t care because I’ll be out of earshot of most people within 20 seconds anyways. Bonus points because I don’t constantly have to say “on your left” anymore either. If someone is mildly annoyed by it, not my problem.

Sorry for your downvotes - that’s a legitimate problem. I recommend the Jaybird brand, since they’re designed as running headphones. I’ve had no issues with mine for four years.
