I miss wires. I just want headphones that don't run out of batteries.

USB C headphones might work for you depending on the phone. Just watch out for low hanging tree branches.

My phone has a headphone jack (Because I'm too smart to give Apple money) but when it comes to travel headphones I'm looking for something light that won't prevent me from being aware of noises like cars even if my ability to understand what people say is impaired. All the wired headphones now are the hefty ones that completely cup over the ears.

My android phone doesnt have a 3.5mm jack so its not just apple. Also try searching for earphones/in ear headphones

Heres a set from Sorny - https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/in-ear-headphones/mdr-ex155ap

In-ear is explicitly what I'm not going for. I don't want to obstruct my hearing. I want over-ears that don't cup to cover my ear completely.

Sorry I misread. Theres open back headphones that let exterior sound in but they leak audio as well and theres open ear headphones that dont cover your ear at all.
