Dealing with negative colleagues in the office.

I'm in the office, we're on a rota based system. I'm a very positive and bright person (where I can be) and really cannot stand negativity. We all have negative things going on in our lives, I get this completely, some more than others.. but I know I don't I inflict my negativity on others.
I am in with two colleagues who don't like each other, and you could literally cut the atmosphere with a knife :( there has been moaning since 8.15am and they also like to bitch openly in the office, it makes me very uncomfortable and I'm here until 5.30pm.
I've only been in this job 6 months and don't want to get drawn into this negative hole.

Would it be unreasonable to just put my earphones on and listen to music and drown them both out?

Nope I did that all the time when I was in an office. Alternatively can you have the radio on

I would use headphones now and next time you get a 1-1 with your line manager bring it up!
