Noise Cancelling Headphones w/Mic for Land line Phone?

[olds]

My cubicle mates don't have an fucking idea what an indoor voice is. I need some over the ear noise canceling headphones with a mic to take/make calls.
Phone is a Panasonic KX-TGA234b. The jack is smaller than a standard cell phone jack.
Anyone use something they can recommend?

So you want dual ear?

Are you looking for the noise cancelling on the microphone or earphones?

Dual ear and noise canceling ears to block this dude out.

Something like this (but over ear, not on ear) but not a pile of junk like these:

Nose cancelling is for microphones, noise isolating is for ambient sound ()

Just find whatever 3.5mm headset you like and buy this:

Sorry RG, but I disagree

Noise cancelling is any electronic form of "cancelling" the noise, which covers both headphones or microphones. Noise isolating means something mechanical does the soundproofing... so like earmuffs or ear buds (that act like ear plugs).

In short, electronic = noise cancelling (active)
mechanical = noise isolating (passive)

I'd be simpler if you linked to a good set that meet my requirements.....

I clicked here to recommend them. 15 years ago, they used to send me magazines. They probably have the most selection and sell to many call centers.

Emailed them as I didn't see what I am looking for.
Thanks.

Active noise reduction does almost nothing for nearby loud conversation. It's better geared for blocking low-frequency monotonous noises, like plane engines or lawnmowers. It'll muffle the voices a bit, but that almost makes it more annoying.

Well, this guy sounds like a lawn mower so it should help.

my first thought was the Plantronics we used in the call center but they use the quick release connection and I can't be sure the adapter would work with your phone.

Why don't you have an IP based phone? It would make this much easier.

We have mostly 90s technology. 1890s.

Do you have a non cordless phone?

That would be corded.
My base plugs into POTS and my receiver is wireless.

I have come to the conclusion that no one makes any. Only USB, no 3.5 or 2.5.
