The ones I can recommend in that line are the headsets from David Clark. I've used these for decades in some of the harshest noise locations with great success. While most of the adaptors I use are home made I suspect that they can supply one for about any application. They have for me. http://w

Try noice-canceling aviation headsets (GA or helicopter models have truly amazing noise suppression). High-end models come with cellphone interface. I don't think cellphones will work in many data centers, but I think rigging interface from a normal cordless phone to the headset is pretty simple.
