It would definitely help, but you’ll need the industrial/respirator type that can filter particles small enough in exhaust fumes.

I wonder if this would be a possible use case for the stupid Dyson headphone filter. It uses positive pressure to provide you with filtered air. However, I’m not certain the filter would be enough to clean exhaust fumes.
Another issue would be that you probably shouldn’t be wearing headphones while biking, but maybe they have a passthrough mode.

That thing is a POS and no one should buy it. It is not N95 rated either

I’d buy it but only for the cyberpunk aesthetic and not for its filter tech, and if it was like a tenth of the price. lol

From the reviews I’ve seen of it, the Dyson headphones wouldn’t help. I think it was MKBHD that specifically was testing to see if they would block out exhaust fumes and they were next to useless.

That wont work where there is a pressure of air hitting the unit. So windy days outside, riding andgenerating your own breeze etc.

Seriously, a wet rag would perform better than that.
