Etymotic Research (near Chicago) makes a nice variety of earbuds that 
have excellent isolation and good sensitivity. I originally bought the 
ER4S for mixing live music in loud jazz clubs. When I retired, I 
continued using them in the shack. Not cheap. There are now newer models 
that I would choose if buying today for the ham shack. Look at the HF5 
and MC5.
