Sometimes I like music, most often not.
However I definitely get ear + head + hearing fatigue from wearing any kind of headphones for more than an hour or two.
Noise canceling is nice, but it seems to be hard on my ears somehow.
In a private (or home) office, I can play music through speakers and it seems to be better than headphones for me.
One thing that is both good and bad about offices is the loud air conditioning/ventilation (which of course is largely a good thing given covid, etc.) The white noise drowns out sound, but it is also fatiguing to my ears. I have been in offices during power outages when the AC/computers/etc. shut down, it's amazing how quiet it is.
