I carry these around in my pocket all the time:

Not just for datacenter use. I find myself pulling them out every few
months when I happen to be somewhere uncomfortably noisy. Not the same
(or as much dB reduction) as some of the other foam ones, but they seem
nearly indestructible and washable as well.
I also have some of these around, because they fold up really nicely.

About the same dB reduction (21) as the above. You can of course use
both of these products together for a much higher degree of noise
reduction but I rarely find myself needing that.
