Cosumerreports.org went on to suggest the Monoprice Noise-Canceling Headphone as an inexpensive alternative to the suggestions above.  However, they seem to be out of stock everywhere I can look.  Here is the link to Amazon, where they are listed at, $138.79, and temporarily out of stock.  It states that they will contact you when they are back in stock.
