Was gonna recommend the same. Along the lines of good 'crystal radio'
headphones some of the guys have found some of the little piezo devices
make for a very sensitive, high-impedance DIY headfone project. I think
one of the guys is selling them as a kit, with shooter's muffs included.
Haven't tried them myself but the reports are very favorable.
