Active noise cancelation (or ANC for short) uses microphones to monitor the ambient noise around you. The earbuds then do their best to mask these frequencies or \u201ccancel\u201d out the noise.<\/p>\n<p>Noise-canceling earbuds are usually of the in-ear variety since a better seal with your ear means that less noise will get in passively. When you turn off ANC, you hear a lot more noise making its way into your ears, particularly low frequencies that <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a> further, like traffic noise or an engine hum.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-744168\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/airpods_pro.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"AirPods Pro in their case\" width=\"650\" height=\"474\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Apple<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Silicon ear tips are quite good at passively blocking noise, which means that it can still be hard to hear the world around you, even when you turn off ANC. This is where transparency mode comes in.<\/p>\n<p>Using the microphones already located on the AirPods Pro and AirPods Max, Apple\u2019s solution pipes the outside world into your ears at a comfortable volume. It does this with an imperceptible delay, which was an issue with an earlier implementation of this technique for the original AirPods called Live Listen.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_Transparency_Mode_on_AirPods\"><\/span>How to Use Transparency Mode on AirPods<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can switch between ANC and transparency mode on Apple\u2019s AirPods Pro by squeezing and holding an earbud (the default configuration), or by pressing the noise control button on the AirPods Max. You can leave transparency mode on all the time, but it doesn\u2019t necessarily work well this way.<\/p>\n<p>To be able to hear people talk, for example, when paying for an item in a shop, you\u2019ll probably need to pause music even at moderate volumes to hear what\u2019s going on. If you\u2019re listening to spoken-word audio, like a podcast or a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a> video, it\u2019s much easier to hear people without pausing the content first.<\/p>\n<p>Some AirPods owners swear by transparency mode as a safety feature, since it allows them to enjoy music and other content at low volumes without being oblivious to threats around them, such as when walking at night or using public transport alone.<\/p>\n<p>Best of all, you don\u2019t need an iPhone to take advantage of the feature, as both ANC and transparency mode work with Android (or with any other Bluetooth audio device you connect them to).<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Earphones_Also_Feature_Transparency_Mode\"><\/span>Other Earphones Also Feature Transparency Mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While AirPods Pro introduced many users to transparency mode, many other wireless earbuds now support the feature, including the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07X9VG6ZJ\/?tag=hotoge-20\">Jabra Elite 75t<\/a>\u00a0and the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Sony-WF-1000XM4-Industry-Canceling-Headphones\/dp\/B094C4VDJZ?tag=hotoge-20\">Sony WF-1000XM4<\/a>, two of our top picks for the best wireless earbuds for iPhone and iPad users.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
