Rather than replace my 12 year old noisy treadmill, I bought a $300 set
of Bose earphones which worked beautifully on the treadmill, on planes
until the plastic headset snapped. I'm still using it until I can see if
my warranty covers it.They are somewhat bulky also.

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.
