Using headphones at a sufficiently high volume level can cause temporary or permanent hearing impairment or deafness due to an effect called "masking." The headphone volume has to compete with the background noise, especially in excessively loud places such as subway stations, aircraft, and large crowds. This leads to the disappearance of the normal pain associated with higher levels of volumes.
Other risks arise from the reduced awareness of external sounds—some jurisdictions regulate the use of headphones while driving vehicles, usually limiting the use of earphones to a single ear. The complete isolation from outside noise can be a hazard in itself, as a user could miss the sound of a car horn and walk into traffic with fatal consequences. Losing situational awareness can also lead to theft, particularly in busy environments where bumping into another person would be ignored, e.g., subway stations.
There's also the risk that you won't be able to hear important sounds such as emergency vehicles or a car horn.
Tell me exactly how you're supposed to see those round a corner?Dont they use those bright blinking and flashing lights on the emergency vehicles just for that reason?
I completely agree with you, what he does is his business. However I do feel duty bound to warn him of the dangers of using headphones whilst riding.What a person does to themselves is their business and not yours. If you drink, smoke, do drugs or what ever shut the hell up about someone else's potential for hearing loss. Get off your soap box and deal with your self abusive tendencies first.

1. The capacitors go in line with the + speaker wires and the head set common gets tied directly to the radio ground.
2. The other [marcbaker suggested] way you have poor stereo separation
3. if the head set wires managed to get pulled out and shorted to ground you could burn the radio amplifier IC's out from shorting a floating voltage source to ground. The capacitors will prevent that from happening.
4. I would skip the attenuation resistors myself and go directly to the speaker + lines them selves with a 100 -300 uf 25 volt capacitor for each channel.
5. And If you think it will be to loud just use that volume control thing. I hear they are included free in the design of radios just in case someone would want a lower listening volume.
