    I live in the center of the city so in my case open format headphones is bad, however, i always use them at work when I’m in office and open format headphones are great at low noise environments, however, transparency tws is more versatile and can be your only headphones

      You don’t need to say Transparency mode is the best thing ever in ten comments.

      Transparency mode is not nearly the same as open headphones. Its fine for a quick conversation but isn’t good at providing awareness of your surroundings. It has its place and is a great feature, but it’s not going to cut it for people looking for open headphones.

        If you want, i can say it in twenty comments, since I’ve used both standard tws and bone conducting headphones, i experienced firsthand that transparency mode is golden middle ground between closed and open headphones
