is overwhelmingly positive. " When I
first saw the pods, I was like, okay, yet
another strange solution. But when
you step into one and have a focused
conversation with somebody, it's cool.
It does the job very well - it does what
it promises. "
Both Lover and Burns believe the rising
popularity of acoustic treatments
for office spaces is a necessary step in
bringing the modern office in line with
what its users are looking for - especially
now, after the pandemic has done
so much to alter our preferences and
work styles.
But, as Lover observes, acoustic
treatments can't do everything. Will
it cut down on background noise?
Absolutely. Will it get that noisy desk
mate to stop clattering away on their
keyboard and chewing like a cow?
Well, probably not.

and working together, " he says. " We're
still irritable. "
