alt Hacker NewsBose used to make these noise cancelling earphones called the Hearphones that could focus on the speech of person in front of you and they were amazing:

I absolute loved them, but unfortunately lost them, and they are irreplaceable.
These were great and I am always on the lookout for something similar, but no luck so far.
I also liked that there was a neckband - easy to take the buds out when not needed and leave them hanging, and of course more power in a larger battery.
