All the earbuds I've used emit such a tiny amount of sound that even if you could supply enough current to make it audible with the earbud not in your ear, it would be awfully distorted.

Personally, I find that if I have music going (speakers or headphones or earbuds, it makes no difference) and get to really concentrating on some task, I completely lose track of the music and am unaware it's even playing.

This leads me to suspect that if I'm aware of the music I'm not really concentrating on my task.

And when I am cycling I want to concentrate--very much.

Just my personal view.
