My Yoshimura plays beautiful music that I hear at just the right volume while wearing my ear plugs.

Hula Dog is right about motorcycle stereo systems. Even the best are only good up to 35 MPH. Over that you may as well be listening to a old little 6 transistor radio from the 1960's. The music is so distorted from the wind noise. Even on Goldwings and big touring Beemers with 4 speakers once over 35 MPH the quality of the sound is terrible. It is much better to get a bluetooth system like a Sena 20. That way you can pair it with your phone, GPS and your passenger's helmet. The music quality is a little better, but wind noise still takes its toll. Another benefit of the Sena bluetooth systems are if your riding buddies have Sena's you can communicate with them on rides. If you really want better music quality, install your Sena speakers in a Schuberth c3Pro helmet. However they are a "bit" :-) more expensive.

I have a pair of Sena 20. What I did w/ the external speakers was to discard them, since music quality was so poor coming out of them.
The S20 has an external plug for earbuds. So I plug my earbuds into the S20, and listen to all my music and phone calls and GPS voice routing that way.

I use plugfones , the foam tips to cancel out the outside noises.
I just recently tried fuze custom earphones (you mold your own ear shape at home), but they're no better than the plugfones, but way more cumbersome to put on and take off.

IPhone 6+ with 2 Playlists of road music. One mellow and one upbeat approx. 250+ songs on each with option to shuffle all 5,000 songs in the memory on the phone (no Cloud), Marley Ear Plugs with instant mute function in cord. Not to mention access to the internet/camera/video/GPS all in a neat/clean/minimalist package safely enclosed in an Otter case. Just don't see the need for external stereos/speakers and the drawbacks they have with this type of technology available.
