    Additional anecdote from me, but I specifically seek out good sound pass-thru over good noise cancelling because I use music to help focus but need to hear at the same time like, say, at work when a call comes in.

    I don’t need it to be particularly loud, either, as I also have audio processing disorder so some concerns I see in this thread such as (paraphrasing) “probably poor bass” isn’t as much of a concern.

    I currently use Sony’s Latest LinkBud S earbuds, and I’m pretty happy with it. But if I were still looking for a pair, something like what’s being offered here is exactly the sort of thing that would appeal to me.

    These will undoubtedly appeal to a niche audience vs mass appeal, but so long as production doesn’t outpace demand I could see such a line of ear buds becoming quite popular among those who want that feature specifically.

    (Edit: oops, my instance got all weird and posted 4 times. Fixed.)
