Is it unprofessional to wear over the head headphone during work?

I'm planning to buy a Sony Wh-1000 over the head headphone for noise cancelling use in office. Does seniors hate analyst wearing over the head? Should I get earplug instead?

One senior in the team complains, every junior wears it anyway when needing to work. You probably will not use it much in the first 3-6 months as you are going to be asking a lot of questions / want to hear what is being talked about in the bullpe.. I suggest earbuds where you can keep one ear free to hear when you are being addressed in the beginning.
