Yes, that's probably it. However, I have real problems with the attitude of some that it is totally ok to listen to music and deafening volume levels that you can't hear anything at all from outside, not even honking. That is making driving considerably more dangerous, to everyone else.

    I've seen people claim that cyclists with earbuds in are a menace, when I know for a fact that they listen to loud music in their modern extremely insulated luxury SUV with shit visibility.

    yes, the cyclists are the menace here...

    The cyclist is primarily risking his own health, the SUV driver is primarely risking the life of others. That is the key difference here. However, I am not a fan of either. Especially when being a cyclist I don't want to miss the situational awareness of fully hearing the environment, after all the ears are my mirrors, you can't look back all the time.
