Dropped $200 on noise cancelling headphones for my cube, still hear Greg cracking sunflower seeds

I work in an open office in Columbus and the guy two desks over eats sunflower seeds all day, shell and all. So I finally caved and got a pair of refurbished Sony WH-1000XM4s for about $200 to block him out. They kill the AC hum and the copier fine, but I can still hear every single crack, and my boss keeps tapping my shoulder because I can't hear her coming. Does anyone know a fix for this that is not moving desks or quitting?
