I don't know if this is an option, I didn't see you explicitly mention that it wasn't so I thought I would mention something a little different that I have personally done when I wanted what you are talking about on the cheap.
Have you considered combining over the ear hearing protection ear muffs with a pair of standard (non-ANC) ear buds? A pair of earmuffs with a noise reduction of 30dB (which I believe is better than ANC can achieve can generally be had for $25-$35 leaving you with $70 to spend on a pair of ear buds where the only consideration is audio quality and fit at that price point.
Having sensory issues myself I think it's worth noting that these types of ear muffs are designed to apply more pressure around your ears than standard head phones. It's usually not an issue for me, but there are those who do not like it for long periods of time.
