Headphones: 

Budget option or stocking-stuffer: Panasonic Wired Earphones I’ve been using these for years when I need a wired earphone. When something happens to them, I buy another pair of the same!

For Apple users: The AirPods Pro2 have great sound and noise canceling, and they are built to work with Apple products, so they are quick and easy to set up and start using. 

Over-ear style, wireless: Bose QuietComfort. In all honesty, I haven’t used these as I prefer the in-ear style, but I asked around and these were recommended over and over. They have noise canceling and are great for spoken-word situations and music!
