You can hear everything. Coughs and other sharp noises go straight through ANC headphones. You're exposed to everything. People will tap you on the shoulder.

While I'm the same as you, I don't particularly enjoy the feeling of having noise cancellation headphones on for the entire workday - it starts to feel a bit vertigo-ey.
Some people don't like making small talk.
- huffmsa 6y ago> don't particularly enjoy the feeling of having noise cancellation headphones on for the entire workday - it starts to feel a bit vertigo-ey. Ay. It shouldn't be acceptable that those who prefer / need quiet are expected to block out the outside world with headphones and earplugs and Phil the motormouth is allowed to run his jaw all day. The default should be either Phil takes his chit chat to a private room (offices for everyone) or he shuts the fuck up unless it's a dedicated discussion time.
- beagle3 6y agoTotally agree. With respect to the noise cancellation vertigo though - this varies with headphones ; apparently, some headphone response curve causes feeling of vertigo and/or pressure/vacuum on your eardrums. There was even research about that in the HN front page 4 months ago or so - will try to post it when I am not on phone.
