Noise canceling comes with three extra modes:
- Adaptive Audio blends Transparency and Active Noise Cancellation in real time, seamlessly tailoring noise control to your changing environment as you go about your day
- Transparency mode provides the most natural way to hear the world around you, perfect for staying connected to your surroundings when you’re on a call or listening to music or podcasts
- Conversation Awareness senses when you’re speaking to somone nearby and automatically lowers the volume of what’s playing, bringing it right back as soon as you’re done
