How exactly would you develop headphones that are hardened against high energy particles from space?

NASA has a hard time doing this for their vehicles that are intended to be in deep space.

A better design could be such that remains safe (even if functionally degraded) when hit with a burst of cosmic rays.

Whether it can be done within the constraints of mass, volume, and expense that keep the headphones competitive is another (hard) question.
