Mrs works in a loud office environment for her new job and finds the noise can be quite distracting. Has anyone had or tried noise canceling headphones which they can recommend?

noise isolating > noise cancelling
ie ear buds are better than noise cancelling headphones

depends on personal preference though. will she be listening to music as well, or just wants something really comfy to cancel the noise that won't feel like she's wearing big bulky headphones?

I got a set of the philips ear bud ones, they make a good fit in your ear which blocks out a lot of noise, and sound ok too..
BUT not something you would want to be wearing all day, I would say for long term comfort, ear phones that go over the ears would be better

what is your budget?
