There is a great little ANR headphone primarily for passengers listening to their iPods. It's the 'Bose Quiet Comfort 2'. Now some retired airline pilot in the USA discovered that it was a fantastic headphone but it's a headphone only. It hasn't got a mic ! So he made a high quality one that clips onto it and hey presto, one great little headset unit.
You can go and buy a new QC2 for about £200 but you can get some good 2nd hand ones on e-bay for about half price. Then you've got to buy the mic adaptor.

Just in time for Christmas . . . well, cutting it a bit fine perhaps.
Good luck, and take care of your hearing. Spend what is needed to achieve this ! Wish I had when I was your age, then I wouldn't have this tinnitus that I have now.
