Open ear bone conduction headphones. Light, affordable, waterproof and safe to bike with. Also good in the office as you can still hear what's going on whilst listening. Only drawback is they're pretty quiet and easily defeated by heavy traffic/loud kids etc.

Also not recent but as someone who suffers from tinnitus, a Bluetooth audio sleep mask has improved my quality of life more than any other minor purchase I've ever made.

If you are in a noisy environment, you can use earplugs with your bone conduction headphones. That's what I do on the treadmill and while mowing the grass.

I just tried this and it works really well!

Mine actually came with earplugs and have an onboard EQ setting for this specific use case. Check your manual and see if there's something similar.
