I am very distracted by sounds. The best I've found so far is a combination of:
1- 3Ms "peltor X5a" headphones (there might be better ones now, but a quick amazon search shows some results, they are ~$25).
2- noise-blocking earbuds underneath them (searching amazon will probably turn them up, maybe ~$15?). I think the ones I got were like foam ear plugs, but with a tube down the middle for the sound.
3- some white-noise app (like maybe "chroma doze" from the f-droid store, or "relax and sleep" from the play store; those are the ones I've used).
No connection to the above but as a pleased consumer. I don't know if the above will suit audiophile purists--I love good music but more for the "intelligent conversation & expression" aspect than the purity of reproduction, so YMMV.
(I look forward to reading others' comments here...but it's been a day already so I'm posting first in case it's useful to anyone.)
This combo works for me much better than the friendly Bose noise-cancelling headphones I bought ~2000 (which, or others like them, also might be much better now). But I read that the noise-cancelling concept is weak for ambient (eg office) noise, because it is not constant enough for the cancellation mechanism to pick it up and block it all fast enough. So it is more like for airplane engine noise which is more constant.
