It may not be conventional, but I use the marshmallow style headphones when I'm out and about. They don't cancel a whole ton of noise, but for a couple of shots at the most they do just fine. I just run the cord down the back of my shirt and have the Y sit against the back of my neck with the buds draped over each shoulder. Just pop them in and you're ready to roll.

Oh and for reference I shoot a Ruger MKII 7 Remmag and I've never been bothered by the sound. I've used a buddies Browning 7 Remmag with a boss and that was no problem either.

Don't buy expensive ones. I often see them for $5 and they can be found for considerably less if you look around online enough.
