I’m a fan of Etymotic Ety Plugs. Etymotic in general makes pretty solid kit.

They make really great IEMs as well. I've got my ER2XRs on right now. They sound great and when music isn't playing they basically act as earplugs.

They are a great option for people who have issues with ANC.

Agreed. I’m on my third pair of one model or other. I really like how quiet I can play music and not hear anything else.

In the past, before I had ANC headphones, I used to wear these under over-the-ear headphones. It worked pretty well.
