Beats Studio Buds: What’s the difference between transparency and off?
I can hear a difference with ANC on, but I can’t tell a difference between transparency mode and off.
What’s the difference between transparency and off?
Question marked as
Although I'm not 100% sure, I believe that in Transparency mode, the earbuds use their microphones to capture and amplify the sounds from your environment, blending them with the audio from your device. The intent would be to create a seamless blend of your music and the external sounds, allowing you to hear conversations, announcements, and other important noises without removing your earbuds. Sort of how hearing aids work.
On the other hand, Off mode completely turns off any external sound amplification. In this mode, the earbuds would be more like earplugs.
So, if I was to summarize the listening modes of the Beat earbuds, they would be:
- Off - turns off external sound amplification
- Transparency - turns on external sound amplification
- ANC - attenuates any external sound
