Totally agree, used to wear enormous noise cancelling headphones but I would have to pay music to completely block out noise from the office, but then there would be loud music playing in my ears. Real challenge there
- erik_seaberg 5y agoNoise cancelling responds to droning, repetitive sounds, while a big chunk of plastic responds to everything. Not to sound like a shill, but there’s an old headphone model (HD-280 pro) I’ve always sworn by, and I was pleased to see that same model was in Google’s “stuff” catalog for any employee to request. Another colleague reused his earmuffs and earplugs from the gun range, but I think most of those are pretty uncomfortable.

You can definitely get ones that are about as comfortable as a pair of comfortable over-ear headphones. Ideally, everybody struggling to work in an office would wear big, absurd earmuffs. Maybe if management looked around and saw that 80% of their employees were geared up like they were working on the tarmac of a busy fucking airport just to get some work done, they would rethink the hell of open offices. Nah. They wouldn't.
