What is Transparency Mode (Ambient Mode)?

Transparency Mode, also called Ambient Mode, lets outside sound pass through your earbuds or headphones. Built-in microphones pick up your surroundings and mix them with your music or calls.

Why Transparency Mode is useful

  • Hear traffic and announcements while listening
  • Talk to people without removing your earbuds
  • Stay aware and safe in busy environments

This feature is perfect for commuting, cycling, or quick conversations. Many headphones let you switch between full ANC and Transparency Mode with a single tap.
