“Do these have a feature to use the microphone to hear ambient noise. For example I have a pair of Sony headphones that when I'm running will have a setting that will amplify ambient noise so I can hear a cyclist saying "on your left" or a dog barking.”

No it doesnt , it stays flat.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, they do not have active sound passthrough. However, they use a vented design that allows ambient sound through. Having used a high end pair of Jabra buds for the past 2 years, that DO have an active "hear-through" mode, I can report that I am FAR more aware of my surroundings while wearing the Pixel Buds A-Series buds. Even with music playing, I hear approaching traffic behind me when it is a good quarter mile away. I can also carry on a conversation with somebody, while still having my music playing.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.To answer my own question, contrary to what google says below they do not have this feature. The best that have is to put on headphone in. This is really a shame since most other decent headphones offer this feature which makes them much safer to use while running and cycling.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. Pixel Buds A-Series has a feature called Adaptive Sound. This feature detects the ambient noise level around you and subtly and automatically adjusts the volume as you move between noisy and quiet environments.
