Considered getting noise canceling headphones but I have to answer the phone occasionally. We just moved into a new office though and now I just close my door :-) I've dealt with an open office area for the last 7 years.

When you put them on, you can actually hear the noise recede with a hiss. It is surprising. However, it works to filter out concussive, deep noises and background roar the best. The odd result is that voices actually become clearer in the coffesshop. That's fine when I'm in a conversation...but I'd like phones that block out all levels of noise, as in, complete, monastic silence. That would be productive.
