Use Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode
Beats Studio Buds let you control how much you hear your surroundings. Press and hold the Beats logo button on either earbud to switch between Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency mode, and Off (to enable maximum battery life).
You can select which modes the press-and-hold action switches between. While wearing your Buds, go to Settings > Bluetooth > Buds > Press and Hold Buds.
Press and hold feature customization requires an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS or iPadOS 14.6 or later, or an Android device with the latest version of the Beats app installed.
