first you have to put the earbuds in the hearing protection one in each side for those smart alecs out there.
then put the "Headphones" over your ears and crank it up because the music coming out of the earbuds is not as loud as if it was in your ear (now is a good time to tape in the earbuds if desired)

CRANK IT UP!!!!!!!

now you can enjoy your music without screaming babies inthe background or whatnot.

this also works with a pair of cheap headphones but i perfer earbuds

Final note if you are using earbuds put them right on that bit of skin where the pressure point is behind the ear so you can hear them better
