This new feature will let headphone users easily listen to their surroundings without the need to take it off! The transparency mode is a feature that helps people keep track of their surroundings even if they are fully absorbed in music, podcasts, or a phone call. It’s a mode that can be found on new noise-canceling headphones, such as the Apple AirPods Pro and the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. Learn how to activate the transparency mode for your next trip outside here!

I wear headphones so that I don't have to hear things around me.But I see the attraction of just pretending to listen to music, while wearing headphones, so that people won't talk to you.

Is this really new or just new to you? I have Sennheisers that are 8 years old that have what they call "pass through" which is this transparency mode and I am pretty sure when doing the research then that Bose had this then as well.
