4.5
When you turn on transparency mode, the outside world sounds metallic or artificial.
Symptoms
- Robotic voices
- Metallic hiss
- Unnatural sound
Possible Causes
- Wind noise
- Microphone blockage
- Software processing lag
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Check for Wind
Transparency mode often struggles in windy conditions; try turning it off.
2
Clean External Mics
Ensure the tiny holes on the outside of the headphones are clear of lint.
3
Update Firmware
Manufacturers often tune the transparency algorithms in software updates.
When to See a Technician
Transparency mode uses external mics to pipe sound in; any blockage makes it sound "tinny".
