Hi, title’s rather explanatory I think but I was considering getting a pair of TWS buds for convenience sake since cables are sometimes not an option for me. But I know a lot of modern buds make you get apps that request a large amount of questionable permissions(even if you deny them, the requests in and of itself feels like a red flag) and likely send your data away. So I was wondering if there were any options that were cleaner. Thanks for the help!

If it can toggle ANC and “passthrough” mode based on location, that would actually be an awesome feature for me. I often wear my earbuds while walking, taking the train, and shopping, and in the train I like having ANC on but at the supermarket I like having passthrough mode on so I can hear the cashier better.
It can toggle ANC on and off, not sure if it can also enable voice through. That is available by a single tap on your earbud(s) tho
Alright, thanks
My Sony headphones have similar features and it has a feature which automatically enables ambient mode (pass through) if you speak. Pretty neat but uses quite a bit of extra battery and since the headphones are over ear it’s impossible to talk to someone without feeling like an idiot.
I am quite sure the TWS equivalent variant has the same features.
