If anyone wants to block outside noise without noise-cancelling algorithms: try in-ear monitors and replace the tips with foam tips designed for isolation (perhaps in a larger size for more sound blocking) - you effectively get a combination earplug/headphone.

I definitely prefer noise isolation to noise cancellation. I found a pair of Shure SE215s with Comply Isolation tips perform far better than the Bose QC25s I tried to replace them with.

Agreed. I find myself using my Jabra Elites for exams and deep work more than my QC35s. Not only do I get mild discomfort from the QC35s pressing on my (somewhat large) ears, but the Jabra Elites are much easier to pack and take with me anywhere.
