Re: [OT] Noise cancelling earphones for a quiet programmingenvironment?
Sorry I do not think I am going to be a lot of help here... Recommendation: The best thing to do is to get out of the open office environment, I find that I am greatly affected by background distractions. I have had five fold productivity increases when working from home or in some other comfortable place away from the mad office. If that fails, I have used "Bose QuietComfort(R) 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling(R) headphones" ( http://worldwide.bose.com/axa/en_au/web/quietcomfort_15/page.html) which are great at cancelling out the background road sounds on the bus, but pretty useless at the higher frequency office sounds. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Noise-cancelling_headphones#Real-world_performance_of_noise-cancelling_headphonesfor a discussion on this. The best solution is that everyone has a work cubical with a lot of sound deadening material and meetings happen in meeting rooms, not at desks.

Light weight, over the ear would be best. Cordless would be a nice to have - but i guess that might add battery weight. I called in at Dick Smith and the sales lady said that while there are earphones that cancel out aeroplane sounds she didnt think there were any for mouse clicks. _ From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of William Luu Sent: Sunday, 23 March 2014 1:26 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: [OT] Noise cancelling earphones for a quiet programmingenvironment? Do you know what style earphones you want? In ear, over ear etc? Do you want something with cables or a wireless bluetooth option?
