We made our own out of Sony headphones and Plantronics headsets, 
a small switch replacing the 'on-hook' on the phone swaps music

'shooters ear muffs' that block out (almost) all outside sound
and also signal to others "do not disturb".

Football? Gasp... we did buy a new Sony Vega Flatscreen for the
Sci-Fi channel "Dune" miniseries. Even had off-work people
come by for the party.
