I would suggest ACTIVE noise cancelling headsets for the use you describe. I've used them for many years (Bose came out with the first ones) flying small planes and now they have become very popular for music applications, especially with travellers. Google "best noise cancelling headsets" and ignore any that claim only 'passive' noise cancellation.
