I'm a Solutions Engineer and whenever I have to get on a sales call or demo at my desk it's a disaster - it's simply far too loud and too much background noise is heard on the call.

This is just one more complaint in a long-list that I have with this arrangement. Makes me miss my cube!

Why not use a headset? They work really well at blocking out background noise (we use the plantronics ones). Worth every cent.

Those don't block out your sound, the others in the same room still hears you and get disturbed.
