Being a start-up, my current company is a quite noisy working place. From my cubicle, I can hear engineers discussing issues, sales making cold calls, support talking to customers, and the ever-lasting buzz from our lab. It is an interesting vibe, full of life, but I also find it hard for me to concentrate sometimes.
"I wish I could have a quiet zone", I told myself. Then it dawn on me: why not try the noise cancellation headphones? My best friend Chinchih highly recommended them. (On the airplane, she puts on both noise cancellation headphones and ear plugs.) After some research, I decided to take the plunge and ordered the Bose QuietComfort 15. My headphones arrived yesterday. Quite excitedly, I brought them to my company to try. What a difference! It's like day and night. All the disturbing background noises are gone. I feel like in a empty cathedral when I listen to my classical music CDs. Though I can still hear people's talking (which can't be fully cancelled), it doesn't bother me that much any more. Finally, I get my quiet zone.
