The passive noise isolation you get with most IEMs has been pretty great for me, I don't miss ANC. I'd recommend you start cheap with a pair of KZ or Blon IEMs ($15-30) and getting the memory foam tips that give you a better seal in-ear ($5-10). If that doesn't do it for you, you can consider ANC options.
It's true that transparency mode is not something you get with this option, so you will have to consider how important that is for you.
