If you're willing to do earphones instead of headphones, I really like
Etymotic earphones for noise isolation. They're not active
noise-canceling but since they fit in the ear canal and make a good
seal, they block a lot of noise. I have an older pair of their HF5 model
and they'll drop the noise from my lawn mower and woodworking planer
down to a distant hum. I think I read they'll drop some freqs by 35dB or
more. I connect them to a $8 bluetooth receiver dongle and stream music
from my smartphone.
BTW, if you find the triple-flange tips to be off-putting, you can
replace them with dual-flange tips that don't sit as deep in the ear.
They work almost as well. You can also buy foam tips that expand to the
shape of your ear canal..these work really, really well but you have to
replace them pretty frequently.
