Hi, RacingWarrior2! It has an "Ambient Sound" function that lets you hear the sounds around you. ~Ralph

Chezjuan · Answer

It has adaptive noise cancelling and can detect what you are doing to let in ambient sound. For example, if it determines you are walking or running, it lets in ambient sounds.

Reo83 · Answer

Yes, you can change the settings through the app. Increase ambient sound or decrease it.

Yes, there is an “Ambient Sound” mode on the Sony 1000XM3 headphones. Since these headphones featured this years before Apple and has an impressive sound quality that the airpod pro’s lack (because we all know they sound awful), it’s only right to say that apple’s transparency mode is similar to Sony’s. I have both and I found the airpod pro’s to sound terrible and fall out of my ears constantly with no ear hook accessories available because most ear hooks block the ear sensor at the bottom of the airpod pro. A terrible and flawed design.

Not to mention the other key things that make the Sony’s so amazing: 30 hour battery life and all-day comfort.
