These were the ones I got: https://www.amazon.com/Alpine-PartyPlug-Plugs-Music-Environm...
Iirc I selected them based on:
1. Reviews were decent
2. At least one person on hn had mentioned them
3. The carrying case is ultra compact
One plastic thing on the case broke, but it still functions. I like that they're clear, a bit harder to see.
For planes though I use the generic orange ones. I keep some in my travel bag at all times. The keychain ones are for unplanned situations I can't avoid.
Though your 70 db link has got me wondering even about subways and trains. Is a two hour journey at ~85 db worth worrying about? I had assumed it wasn't based on osha.
I'd use over ear headphones but it isn't clear to me how much they dampen, apart from the nrr rated industrial ones.
