I ride with AirPods on, no content playing, just transparency mode. It cuts harsh wind noise, maintains 3D acoustics, and keeps me safer as a result. They’re a hearing aid for me in this case.

You may want to get some passive ear protection though, active noise canceling is not the same as noise protection.

Unless you drive slowly, I find that driving at 60 kph max is still comfortable on the ears.
