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.
