Jacob,
Small inexpensive ear ear plugs work well or snug fitting ear buds work well so you can listen to some music. I would think the big headsets would have two issues. Technically you are not supposed to block your hearing with anything and those would draw lots of attention. It is very important to still have hearing so you can hear emergency equipment so you don't get taken out in an intersection by someone making a priority run. I have been approaching an intersection on a green light and had ear plugs in while driving the Cobra and I could hear the sirens just fine. I was able to stop and let the vehicle pass and avoid a collision. In that situation, by the time I would have seen the emergency vehicle it would have been to late. So what ever you decide make sure you can still hear.

Jake
