Agreed. I regularly wear earplugs with headphones over them, blasting white noise. That way I can block out the noise of loud conversations 10 feet away without (1) getting distracted by music or (2) damaging my hearing. It's kind of ridiculous, but if I'm going to get focused work done it's my best option. I'd get more done in a library-like space or an office for sure.
