I had the Sony WH1000XM3s and found similar - I still loved them but it was cutting out low droning noises etc that they shone at and voices definitely cut though quite a bit.

Recently though I got the Bose Quietcomfort Earbuds 2 (in ears), and the noise cancelling on them is next-level. So much better at cutting out higher pitches and I love them. I often use them in a room with a loud television and people speaking and they cut out a lot of speech and general noise

It still doesn't create silence in those conditions admittedly, but it's very impressive
