I have been using the Bose "Quiet Comfort" headphones for BCB, SW and
high-quality stereo listening.  Besides sounding great and being lightweight
and comfortable, they have active noise cancellation which cancels out the
lower-frequency ambient noise.  The phones themselves do a creditable job of
blocking the higher frequencies.

They don't block noise as well as my Clarks, but they are a lot more
comfortable and sound much better.  Not cheap but I don't regret the money I
spent for them.

( I also work part-time as a projectionist in a local movie house.  Wearing
them while in the projection room, with two projectors running, makes it a
lot more pleasant.)
