A good, noise cancelling headset has been one of my best investments - and I&#x27;m not talking about one of the nice looking $50 models from Best Buy. I&#x27;m talking about something in the $200-300 price point - high end gaming headsets are particularly nice for a number of reasons, but anything will do.<p>It seems like a lot of money, but if it triples your productivity while in the office (and I&#x27;d recommend measuring it with something like RescueTime - if the headset doesn&#x27;t help your productivity significantly, you can always return it), it&#x27;s worth it.
