Boy, would I love to work with you. I haven't measured it, of course, but I believe very strongly that when I work from home, my productivity is at least two times greater compared to being in the office. How can you get anything at all done with dozens of interruptions every day, not to mention the constant background chatter/laughter. My greatest dream is to be able to completely shut down the signal from the ears to the brain, with the ability to restore it at will, of course. |

This passive sound isolation means I can set some music at low volume and be completely isolated from the outside world.
Active isolation is rubbish because it lets voices through.
Here is what I use : Shure SE215 - https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/shure/se215#compar...
I consider that with those, I can work as well as I can alone at home. Otherwise, I also suffer from a very noisy office with constant laughter, anecdotes, movie and TV show reviews, people reading emails out loud to team mates etc. and can't ever enter the flow.
I am also a big fan of using fake babble noise to mask surrounding chatter. After about 5 minutes, the brain ignores all of it including the real chatter that is around you.
