Why would you bike wearing noise-cancelling headphones? It seems odd if one values one's life.

Not all commutes are in Urban environments.

They have a hear through option that works with wind noise, unlike a lot of other ones?

Ah, I did not know that! I assume, though, that that mode doesn't implement ANC. Given that, I'm not sure it explains your symptoms.

No it still uses ANC, it uses the microphones to pipe in the audio from outside.
