I know of a few shooters that are happy with these: https://www.amazon.com/Radians-CEP001-Custom-Molded-Earplugs/dp/B003A28P4I
I guess someone has to say it................suppressors
With that being said....I like plain Jane ear plugs. The rubber ones with a string connecting them don't work bad either
I have a set that were molded to my ears that work great, but the string can rub and create a vibration noise which is odd sounding. That being said I need to look for those things
But it makes the liberal transplants down the road mad when We exercise our 2nd amendment rights.

You kept me from saying it. Suppressors for the win!
Or a nice multi-port brake. That'll make some friends...
If hearing is a priority, then I recommend doubling up. You can use in-ear plugs (foam, fitted, EPs, whatever) plus the headset type. Make the headsets electronic and it can help to cut down noise, but still amplify smaller sounds like speech so that you can still hear instruction/conversation.
Sorry, don't know of any headsets that are cool. The seal required over the ears makes them hold in the air.
If you use foam earplugs, they can be very effective, but many don't know how to use them properly. The following video is well worth the time to save your hearing.

Never personally used these but I've seen folks run them at outdoor ranges a few times.
