Default Noise Canceling Headphones

Ok. These have been recommended to me but I have some questions before I spend the money on them.

1. How well do they block out chatter/regular talking noises? I'm wanting to get them to wear at work and there's a ton of constant chit-chat sounds. I don't like that and want to reduce it.

2. Has anyone tried the Bose earbuds? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00D42...8&sr=8-25&vs=1 I like the idea of buds much better than regular headphones, and I've no doubt my company would too as they're more subtle but I wonder if they're as effective.

3. Is Bose the best brand? They're obviously well-known but does anyone have another recommendation?

4. Anything else I'm not thinking of that I should know?

Thanks

What Happened: 3/6/14 I was leaning in to pick my phone off the floor of my car and hit my head on the door frame. No immediate problems but I woke up the following day with blurred vision, nausea, fogginess and memory issues. Headaches came the next day along with speech problems. CT scan was clear. Took a few weeks off work. Went back for half days for two weeks.
Then: 4/14/14 While still recovering from the first concussion I hit my head on the edge of my desk. Immediate headache, nausea and blurred vision. Doctor referred me to a neurologist who prescribed physical therapy for my neck, as I get incredibly stiff/sore necks daily which helps to bring on the headaches. Doctor also referred me to a counselor, who is helping me to cope with the anxiety and panic that has come up in my post concussion world. I deal with severe sensory problems and the frequent bout of aphasia.
And Then : 10/6/14 I was cleaning something (ok cat puke) up from underneath my new glass table when I stood up too fast right into it and voila, trauma #3. I was out of work for a month and a half this time. Noise problems, aphasia, etc.
