MOMENTUM 4 | 25
The Transparency Mode optimally complements the active noise
cancellation ANC. Via the adjustable intensity of the Transparency
Mode and the active noise cancellation ANC, you can determine how
much ambient noise reaches your ears or whether you want to listen
exclusively to your music (ANC at full intensity).
If you use the Transparency Mode at full intensity, disturbing sounds,
e.g. low-frequency noise such as aircraft noise, are always sup-
pressed so that you can stay relaxed and in touch with your sur-
roundings.
Switching between the active noise
cancellation ANC and the Transparency
Mode
You can use the gesture control on the touch pad to switch between
the active noise cancellation ANC and the Transparency Mode, e.g.
if you want to transition from ambient awareness to idle mode as
quickly as possible.
This function is not available during an active call, see: > 29

To switch between the modes, tap the touch pad 2x.
