I usually use transparency mode or just wear one bud at a time in the office! Open ear is great tho, definitely an option for future products but might be a little while.

Love it, just took a look at stuff that’s out there today and the Apple Watch walkie talkie mode seems to be the closest today? But not sure if it can pair with AirPods, seems like a lot of people couldn’t get it to work here discussions.apple.com/thread…

AirPods with walkie talkie?

If you call each other on the phone while using them, then yes! We’ve had a lot of great feature requests for hearing support so we plan to add more as time goes on! Please send any suggestions our way!

They’ve got multipair, ANC, solid sound quality, plus the world’s clearest phone calls (and yes, ai below a whisper). We’re biased but we think they’re great

#ces2026 Report 8: Just had a demo of these. Most interesting new headphones I have seen in years. You can talk to AI with them at quieter than whisper level. @TylerNChen is standing next to me. I can’t hear what he is saying but his phone does.

Voicebuds work best with Subtle dictation (type with voice in any text field) but you can use them with whatever other tools you like, which ones do you use?
