I have the Sennheiser noise canceling headphones mentioned in this message
and I love them. I have used them on planes, buses and my exercise bike.
They do make whatever you are listening to on the Book Port much easier to
hear. I can still hear what is going on around me and do not feel isolated
at all while using them. They use two AAA batteries and I have not had to
change them yet. I got them for Christmas. I don't know how many hours I
have used them but I ride my exercise bike 40 minutes four or five times a
week. If you fly a lot I would seriously consider noise canceling
headphones of some brand because I can say they definitely make a positive
difference in an environment with low frequency noise like an airplane.

Sennheiser PXC250 have previously been mentioned on this list for traveling.
They are noise-canceling headphones, and use AAA batteries to counter some
of the background hum from engines, and presumably let one hear better at
lower volumes.
They run about $125 new at Amazon and about $80 reconditioned at MacMall (I
believe).
I haven't yet used them on a plane, but I like their sound and comfort at
home.
The new ones I purchased came with a nice case that slips through one's
belt, and would nicely hold the Bookport securely, but I haven't yet tried
it to see if it would hold both the Bookport and the headphones together.
