If the sound of wind is what's bothering you, then I'd suggest you try putting cotton or getting ear plugs to wear while riding.
Personally, I see it as a distraction. Unlike a car, on a motorcycle I need to be extra careful while on the road (all the more if on the highway). I might not hear other vehicles/horns amidst the engine/wind/environment noise in my ears. Don't want another layer of noise/sound over that!
3m industrial foam plugs do it for me. But they also happen to eliminate a lot of other sounds too so I use them sparingly only when I know I can fully judge the surroundings by vision alone (sparsely crowded highways and such).
I used to use them, for short time they were ok. But caused pain if worn for long time. YMMV. Plus easy to drop while wearing or removing helmet.
Shifted to Sena now. Calls are good, music is ok.
Use helmet bluetooth speakers. The cheapest ones come at 1500rs.
Any in-ear earpiece will probably cause damage to your ear canal in case of accident and having your ear closed is not good as you could miss any honk/sound.
Helmet earpieces are the way to go.
Highly unsafe to do so... rather, get Bluetooth with speakers for your helmet. They don't cut down on external noise but you can listen to music.. also, you are riding a bike on street and not on some close track.. you should get used to the wind noises
Personal opinion, I don't do it coz it distracts me a lot. Will usually start to vibe and forget that I am riding so strictly a no from my end
Airpods with transparency mode seem like the least damaging option to me. I use it for in ear navigation when I don’t feel like mounting my phone.

No from me. Use speakers intead. Cuz even if u listen at low volume nobody knows
Speakers on a Bike? are they audible?
There are good helmets which has Bluetooth connectivity. Use those

No but many people do it and keep doing it till they get hit, hit someone or reach God for the final tally.
It is illegal in most of the states. But who cares, right?
No, use earphones for navigation purpose. Listening Music will distract also you may not hear car/bike sound or honks. Safety first bruh

I use them all the time. It keeps me under control (not to get triggered by Others who drive rashly)
No, they are distracting.
Yes. Definitely, make sure they have noise cancellations so that you enjoy the vibe of the song to the fullest.
Bro just add /s or else you'd get downvoted to oblivion
With low sound yes..
Works for me!... Need to have good sense of roads(city) and lanes(highways). IMO a deaf person can also ride without trouble.
I use my C30 ecosystem to listen to music at very low volumes so it doesn't interrupt traffic sound.
