The Wirecutter noise-cancelling headphone guide [1] is pretty good.
The Bose QC35 is commonly recommended for open office work. They recently released a new Series II ($350). They aren't too different from the Series I which is discontinued but you may still be able to find some places for less.
Bose also has variants on this model, such as a wired one, as well as their top end in-ear headphones that are similarly recommended.
One thing to note is that active noise-cancelling in general isn't super great for conversation type noise. You'll probably have to combine active noise cancellation and/or noise isolation with some sort of audio playing to really not hear the office talk.
Anker also just came out with an ANC over-ears that look competitive for our use case for $100. I haven't tried them myself yet but am planning to.
