Hissing ANC, Sony WH-1000XM2

Hi,

I recently bought a pair of WH-1000XM2 headphones. When enabling Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), there is a low hissing in both hears. When disabling the ANC the noise disappears.

 

Other topics about this state that this is 'as expected' for ANC. However, I have now tried my collegues Bose and Sony (both old and new XM2). These *all* perform better than my pair.

 

Is buying WH-1000XM2 a hit-or-miss in regards to the ANC quality?

Does performance really differ between XM2 headphones (as I have experienced) or are my headphones faulty?

 

NOTE:  In test, I checked the configuration of XM2 headphones where the same. Running latest FW (problem also on previous FW).

 

Kind regards,
