Any tws with transparency functionality

These pale in comparison to open format imo
I have bone conducting headphones, they are very bad in high nose environments, transparency mode tws is better
Yes in high noise environments, like on airplane for example, open formats can be limited. Unfortunately I don't think open formats can be your only headphone. That being said, for my day to day life at least they are my goto 95% of the time.
I live in the center of the city so in my case open format headphones is bad, however, i always use them at work when I'm in office and open format headphones are great at low noise environments, however, transparency tws is more versatile and can be your only headphones
City noise should be fine. Consider bose open for a much different experience than the bone conductors you mentioned. I use mine in the city too. It's not the same as jet engines. Many of us can't tolerate ear holes being blocked up by Earbuds for long periods of time. I find that really uncomfortable. Also transparency modes are active and will eat through battery and even the best never sound natural to me.
You don't need to say Transparency mode is the best thing ever in ten comments.
Transparency mode is not nearly the same as open headphones. Its fine for a quick conversation but isn't good at providing awareness of your surroundings. It has its place and is a great feature, but it's not going to cut it for people looking for open headphones.
If you want, i can say it in twenty comments, since I've used both standard tws and bone conducting headphones, i experienced firsthand that transparency mode is golden middle ground between closed and open headphones
Can't you wear ear protection and still hear bone conducted sound? Would that reduce the problem in high noise environments?
Yes, that is possible, however you won't hear surroundings
