Headphones with Acapulco MP54?

Has anyone devised an easy way to attach headphones to the Acapulco MP54 headset? I would like to use earbuds to accentuate music over road noise when traveling longer distances. Thanks...

I used the simple earplugs and found that they cancelled out the road noise and let most of the music through, so then I just turned up the stereo (long road trips only).

Interesting link Randy, I've been doing the same thing, but with the free orange funky foam ones you can get you visit a factory (OSHA, I'm sure). They aren't anywhere near accoustically flat, but they at least keep my ears from ringing when I drive for more than 30 mins. Anyone know about how many db those are good for? The ones linked above sound like they'd be great, but only if they attenuate at least as much.

I don't know but I feel your pain. Having lost some of my hearing, I was interested in doing the same thing. I don't want to just crank up the radio and add more sound. Fortunately at the track, there's the helmet.
