Actually I can hear traffic better when I use blocking headphones. I only wear one, and if I use open air headphones the wind noise is bad enough that I have to crank the volume to painful levels to hear, and that's so distracting that I don't hear traffic too well. With one blocking earphone in, I can listen at low, comforable volumes and I can hear traffic every bit as well as I can when not using earbuds at all.
FWIW I currently mostly listen to stuff via Bluetooth on my tablet, and use an LG HBS-700, which is apparently waterproof though I haven't tested it much yet.
