I noticed this also when first using my original Bose headset but apparently have gotten used to it now. I think part of the reason, in my office, is that I was not aware of how much background white noise was there & it is disorienting when removing the headset.
One note of interest, while on a plane with haedset turned on but no music, the stewardess made me remove the headset while she gave her introductory safety speech. I could actually hear her better with the headset & it turned on than when I removed it. The headset cancelled the engine noise but allowed me to hear her speech.
Another thing, the active noise cancelling only works for repetitive noise like sinusoidal noise. This may be what was really being tested in the test that TadW mentioned. The Bose doesn't seem any better in listening sound quality that most other good headsets I've used.
