A:Answer The sound is excellent. I don't use the ear plugs. I use a Sony over the ear headphone the sets on the ear and then flows over the ear around the back of the neck. Very light, doesn't fall out or off, good sound, won't ruin your ears like ear buds, you can hear any traffic you need to be aware of over the music, and is very inexpensive (about $20). They do wear out after a few years of use outdoors when I'm doing yard work so I have a few extra. The foam pads on the ear part have a tendency to fall off of the headphone which can be slipped back on the headphone.
