- ww520 8y agoThat's one way to encourage people to upgrade to private office. I just put on a headphone.

- wikibob 8y agoCheck out the 3M Peltor Optime III Earmuffs The X5A's are 31dB reduction, the Peltor Optime III's are 35dB. Edit: I was wrong, the X5A's are a bit better for reducing human speech than the Optime III (Optime 105)'s. https://remembereverything.org/my-top-6-noise-blocking-earmuffs-review/ https://remembereverything.org/my-top-6-noise-blocking-earmu...
- CalChris 8y agoGiven the weight of the Peltors (15oz) I'm going to look at the behind the ear version. For the Peltor, that's the X5B. The Optime IIIs are also a little lighter (11.4oz). This review says the III is the same as the 105. https://remembereverything.org/my-top-6-noise-blocking-earmuffs-review/ https://remembereverything.org/my-top-6-noise-blocking-earmu...
- zimpenfish 8y agoWe were in a private office and it was still loud whenever the people in the next office played music, someone walked down the corridor, people were having a discussion in the kitchen, people in the large unroofed office downstairs were loud, or when the mysterious noise in the roof kicked off. Now we're not in a WeWork and it is blissfully quiet.
- golergka 8y agoAs a developer, I agree completely. As a person who used to do business development kind of stuff, it's a completely different mindset with very different tasks, and loud office with a lot of things happening around you weirdly fits it very well.
