Open-back headphones are often as annoying as phone calls

do not interfere

Answer 6

They don't interfere. "Telephonists" are separated from the developers. Conversations in the negotiation or lobby are talking. If you need to ask something quickly, text on Skype. Headphones are soundproof.

Answer 7

If someone nearby is mumbling on the phone, and headphones with music only distract when you need to focus on a task, try using earplugs. Simple, cheap and effective. They help me.
