Passive sounds pretty good imo. NC on the other hand is a bass and treble boost - which is fun for some genres. The hissing you hear lessens over time in my experience.
Go for Bose Quite Comfort 15 ,which doesn't sound as good as ue6000, or QC20(In ear monitors):sound quality is as good as the best $100-150 iem. You have to spend at least $300 to get what you are looking for. BTW I'm a ue6000 owner, and I pretty enjoy to use them in passive mode with my E07K.

Nope not defective - thats just how it does "noise cancelling" like a +5db on the low/high ends. It has decent enough isolation that it should be ok for background noise
