Music listeners? How do you?

After looking briefly at the item from pilotmall that starcheck1 linked to, I went to Radio Shack and bought everything I needed to build one exactly like that. Out the door, $25...and that INCLUDES the $8 soldering kit I bought!

So, anyone having the ability to strip a wire and novice soldering skills can build one of these for about $17 in parts and 15 minutes of their time. The one I built seems to work okay so far (I hooked it to my home stereo and my iPod and I could hear both at the same time through my headset), though I haven't tried it in the airplane yet. I'll do that tomorrow at work.

uscpilot has it right on with the earbud type headphones that fit in your ear under your headset. this way you have a different speaker for the music than you do for your more "important" radio communications you can hear both fine, one never(unles you have a P.O.S. radio stack) cuts the other out, and you dont have to wire anything, just pay the 5$ for the headphones. I would recommend the earbuds made by Koss, they have a model that has a post that goes into your ear with an earplug looking seal around it. These are much more comfortable than the standard earbuds and they sound quite a bit better...a set will run you 20 though....but they do last a while. ROCK ON
