It’s cool to hear (sorry) how everyone works.
Work gave me a lightweight pair of JVC HA-NC80 noise-cancelling headphones, these have been great. Also nice to use without music, totally with you there Kovac!
If you’re going to buy headphones, I’d suggest trying them out at an electronics store. There’s nothing like plugging one into your mp3 player and playing some fav tunes. Sound quality can vary, and of course it’s very specific to the individual.
