Hugely disappointed with WH-1000XM6, am I missing something?

Hello, I got the new model after reading everywhere that the noise cancellation is great. Tried it and I really can't say I'm impressed so far. Voices are a bit muffled and thinner, but I can't say it's a massive upgrade from from my WF-5 and since I by far prefer earbuds I'm probably going to send them back as 450€ is a lot of money to still be unsatisfied with working in an open space. Am I missing some kind of secret setting to make them better? I've seen some advanced option in the app but they all seemed pretty much like useless gimmicks. EDIT: People keep commenting on the sound quality but my post is 100% about the noise cancellation. I'd happily deal with the crappiest sound as long as I'm able to work in peace.
