The earpiece or earplug (38, 40) is attached to a rear end of its respective temple (44, 52) of the eyewear and the respective temple (44, 52) for the earpiece or earplug (38,40) is not supported over the wearer's ear.

Various earpiece attachments (48, 56) are provided for attaching the earpieces and earplugs (38, 40) to the temples (44, 52) of the eyewear (20). The temples (44, 52) have length adjustments (66) and have spread adjustments (5.158, 5.160) to adjust for various-sized wearer's heads. The temples (44, 52) preferably exert an inward pressure on the earpieces and earplugs (38, 49) so as to retain the eyewear (20) on the wearer's head during physical activity.
