Totally this.

Reminds me of the footer of Riot Games Engineering blog[0]. The content they post is very good and interesting, and I don't doubt it must be a pretty cool company to work at, but that office photo at the bottom literally describes hell for me. I would spend my whole day there waiting for my anxiety to cause a heart attack.

The people in that photo seem way too comfortable with the amount of smoke pervading the building. Since there doesn't seem to be a fire alarm going off, are we left to believe that they just fishbowl the whole office in order to mellow people out so they don't mind that office layout...?
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but I think it's just the gradient?
Sure QuietComfort 35's will solve your sound issues in environments like this. I can highly recommend them!

...but yeah, that looks particularly terrible.

I'm already a happy owner of:

I actually bought two pairs. First for use at home, based on Wirecutter recommendations. They are good at silencing the environment, so I quickly bought a second pair for work...

Do you wear glasses by any chance? I haven't found a decent headphone that doesn't press the frame of my glasses to the point of giving me headache in the first hour.

I have a QuietComfort 15 and a Beyerdynamic DT-770-PRO-32. The Beyerdynamic is bigger and more comfortable on the ears, but puts more pressure so it's it hurts faster. The Bose is smaller and less comfortable on the ears, but lighter, so I can support it a bit longer.

I do. Somehow I don't think I ever had this problem; my frames touch my head all the time anyway.
Tried bose qc2 but got rid of them because of the "anti-noise" "pressure" giving me a headache after a few hours. They constantly pump sound meant to cancel the ambient noise. It was too intense for me.
O man that would turn me off completely.
Wow. That's so visually overwhelming for me.
Wow. That looks busier than a train station. Can't believe any of them can focus on anything at all.
