I normally have a set of Sennheiser HD-380's or HD-280's with my laptop. They have pretty good isolation and seem to make a pretty good difference, also I can either hear my phone or play music with them. When I mow the yard I use a pair of Koss headphones that isolate almost as good as a set of shooting muffs that I have.
