I have a high end set of Etymotics I bought years ago. They go IN the ear (which some people don't like). When I first started using them, I was amazed at how much I had been missing with "ordinary" headphones / earbuds. When flying commercially, they really block out noise and, make flights much more comfortable. They are expensive (although I believe Etymotic does make some less expensive models).

This raises a good point that the OP may not want noise isolation considering there could be safety concerns depending on where he's walking.
