I also strongly suggest sound-"isolating" phones

The Etymotics are supposed to be good but haven't heard them. I have the Shure e3c ($150-$175) and like them quite well. I did a direct comparison between them and a pair of Bose noise-cancelling phones. I thought the Shure did a much better job of isolating the sound from noise AND they were MUCH better fidelity. There are at least 2 levels of Shure in-ear phones that are more expensive than mine, with the most expensive being around $500. But I don't know how much better than mine they are.

I think the best sheaths for them are absolutely the triple-flange model that can only be bought separately. Amazon sells a set with three pairs for $10.
