Help for Cancelling Out Noise in the Office: Devices?

Post Reply New Topic

Started a job in an office and could really benefit from having something to block out all the noise and have it just quiet.
Found a few devices, was not sure if you could recommend this, or another kind.

Bose
Bose II
Cowen


1st one looked great; they all did but the Cowen is much cheaper and would prefer if there is no difference.
Thanks.

Bose quietcomfort 35 is amazing

The good thing about Bose stuff is that they actually have stores in which you can hear for yourself without having to buy it. Apple does the same.

Cowen looks really good and much cheaper; any thoughts?

I have a pair of Flareaudio Aluminium Isolate ear plugs and they are excellent. I couldn't afford the Titanium ones, but I'm not sure they would be much better than the ones I have. They are visible, but as everybody where I work knows I have a diagnosis then that isn't a problem for me.

The cut out all of the irritating chatter but still allow me to hear a knock on my office door or the phone ring.

So pleased I got them.

Are these the type of things that if I put in my ear; it blocks out all noise?

If I am home and my family is talking and watching TV and I am trying to read in the same room; would this make it quiet?

In my experience, noise isolating earphones tend to cancel out sounds like talking etc. best but be more limited with lower pitch sounds. I have the Bose QC25 noise cancelling headphones and they are excellent, especially with drowning out car/bus noise. If you play something at a reasonable volume they will block out most sounds (within reason of course)
