Not everyone who thinks differently than you is ignorant of selfish.
As long as you don't endanger the safety of others while doing it.
if you're on the road... sure. you vs a car, the car wins.
if you're on a MUP... as long as you're faster than everyone else. Then you don't need to hear anyone passing since no one can.
And YES, earbuds are better than over the ear headphones. And one ear bud is better than 2.
It's just my experience that the majority of people with earbuds are surprised when I pass them even though I call out loud enough before I pass.
