On test day, lo and behold, there are no noise cancellation headsets but a lousy pair of headphones that do not remotely serve the function of reducing, let alone, cancelling noise. I had brought my own headphones for insurance but was not allowed to use these.

Hi yikes000,

In my experience, Pearson centres provide (a) ear plugs and/or (b) earmuffs for noise protection (not active noise cancellation). Some centres, like the one I took my latest GMAT (Focus Edition) at, don't provide either.

Can you share the name/location of your test centre?

It's awful to find out. Definitely get in touch with them and explain the situation.
