Like maybe earphones with big poofy earplug type things with a tube in the middle or something.
Are you describing something like Etymotics ER-6's?

I've used them before and they isolate similar to my foam earplugs so i'd say close to 20-30db. Not backed by anything scientific. Just my own opinion. I should mention that if my ipod had 30notches of volume, I put it at 5-8ish and I wont be able to hear anything but music.
