Single ear bud headphones

[Si600]

Can you get single ear headphones at all? I find that if I listen to a track with my Walkman ear buds I can follow the bass much better, but then I can't hear my playing, especially if I'm not plugged in. I usually use just one of the ear buds, but as they're stereo I'm worried about missing bits as I haven't got both of them in.

Is there a single mono earbud solution, or any bit of kit that I can plug the output from the Walkman, or laptop, into so that I can play along and hear it at the same time?

Cheap mixer. Plug your bass into it, plug your audio source into it. Use headphones to hear both. Thats what I do for home practice.

Is it worth getting a decent mixer that would form part of a PA at a later date?

If I am using ear bud style ones for practice I normally loop them over the back of my ear and dangle them just in front of my lug hole, sometimes with one of them actually pushed in .

That way I can hear most of the track and still hear the bass guitar.
