That doesn't work for everyone. Some offices are louder than headphones and some people come around tapping your shoulders regardless.

Some offices are louder than headphones Depending on your budget, you can block out anything short of jackhammers with either IEMs or earbuds+noise reduction earmuffs. > and some people come around tapping your shoulders regardless Do they expect to continue living? What monsters.

Perhaps more a personal thing but it induces a dizziness/ drowsiness with extended use. It’s fine when watching say a movie but I could never work for long periods with my ears blocked. Wonder if I’m the only 1 but I have heard of similar cases.
- andelink 3y agoI wear them all day during work and also then a couple hours in the evening without any issue. Pure bliss
- bombolo 3y agoI get pain from the hears not being in their natural position.
- alpaca128 3y agoThat problem went away for me once I found headphones that are actually over-ear and not only marketed as such. I can wear them all day every day because they're large enough to not even touch my ears, very light because of a plastic case and open headphones so they don't feel as "pressurized". Bad for noisy environments, though.
- bombolo 3y agoMy hears are perpendicular from my head
- d-s 3y agoIt’s quite common. I own only open headphones due to this
- pseudosavant 3y agoTotally agree. It is also bad for your hearing to have to wear loud headphones all the time to drown out a loud work environment. Your ears do wear out.
- midnitewarrior 3y agoGood active noise cancelling headphones mean you can listen to music at quieter volumes than you normally would.
