There’s a feature called “social mode” which drops the volume of your music, presumably kills the ANC, and allows you to hear what’s going on around you. Now I can hear something like traffic with this feature enabled, but I have no chance of holding a conversation. I can’t hear a single thing anyone else is saying, and I’ve been told my voice is pretty raised when I’m attempting to reply. Worse yet, I’m pretty sure “Social Mode” works by relaying sounds the earbuds’ microphones pick up through its speakers. The bud blocks your entire ear, so this approach makes some sense. Unfortunately, if you’re somewhere with powerful air conditioning or some other droning piece of machinery, there’s a downside. That drone is picked up and pumped into your ear at a weird and extremely irritating frequency. If you can put up with that sound for more than a couple of minutes, you have a stronger will than I do.
As a result, I simply ended up taking one earbud out whenever I needed to interact with the outside world. This led to me stumbling across the “auto-pause” feature. When you pull an earbud out, your music pauses, so you don’t miss anything while you’re dealing with your distractions. I didn’t like this as I’d rather the tunes just kept going in the background. Luckily, you can change the settings so auto-pause only kicks in when you pull both earbuds out, or just doesn’t happen at all. I opted for both earbuds.
