If you use a noise canceler, what kind do you use? Which one works best? Is it worth getting one? I am toying seriously about getting one for work. I would use ear plugs, but they would be impractical for what I do, and something I can just slip on to give me a break from the constant din of the day would be wonderful.

Thanks in advance:) !

I have my earbuds on constantly, whether I'm listening to my iPod or not. Keeps everything to a dull roar, which I like, keeps people from asking me for quick favors, or questions, or from thinking I'm rude when I don't stop to say hi. Also keeps me aware of my surroundings, since I CAN actually hear stuff still, just not annoying tiny sounds.

Exact ones I use right now.
They're perfect, stick in the ear real good, but the wire is slightly annoying.

My dad got me a pair of Bose TriPort headphones for my birthday :D
They're not as good as Bose's other ones which actually electronically counteract noise, but they're extremely comfortable, sound fantastic and have pretty good isolation.

The Etymotic ER 20 attenuators, really great, just turn the volume down.
