Get an external audio recorder and sync it with the video in post.

Can I plug headphones to an audio recorder? If so, what is the best budget solution you recommend?

Thank you.
Yeah...rarely will you get good audio results on a consumer, or even a prosumer camera.
Hell it's a lot more fun to justify using a clapperboard when you actually need it.

This. OP, syncing audio and video isn't much of a big deal so the solution of getting an external recorder should work very well for you.
