Playing back sound according to your surroundings
Enabling AMBIENT SOUND makes it easier to hear the sounds around you, such as announcements made on
public transportation, the sounds of passing cars and so on.
Also, when you enable ADVANCED ANC, the headphones reduce only the external noise while maintaining
playback sound quality, eliminating the need to turn the volume up too high.

While the AMBIENT SOUND feature makes it easier to hear sounds around you, it does not guarantee that you will be able to hear
everything. You may be unable to hear the sounds around you if you’ve turned up the playback volume, or in certain environments.
(
Depending on the type of sound you are playing back and the surrounding environment, ambient sounds may not be so easy to
hear. In this case, pause the playback.

You can also set the AMBIENT SOUND and ADVANCED ANC features with the Headphone Control app.
(
Do not cover the housing with your hand. If your hand is covering the housing, AMBIENT SOUND and ADVANCED ANC will not work
properly, and you may hear noise.
