Yes, someone could walk up behind you and brab them. I would never wear them when walking around. I would also be careful even when sitting down in a public place. Perhaps I will feel differently after a while, but I would rather error on the side of caution as they say. Best, Les

I agree with Simon. I walk around my house all of the time wearing my Airpod Pros, and although when walking out side, I'll tend to grab my Bose Frames or my Aftershokz, I could see myself wearing my Pros or the Maxes outside, but as Simon says, I'd still be careful at intersections and

Yeah, ok. Good point in your case Mich, as I’ll state I’m a high partial, mainly using my guide dog for depth perception compensation, and feeling terrain changes. Something I could’ve revealed in my original post. Also, will reveal, I’m not always listening to music. Egun On, Lagunak!

I'm not saying I would do it often But yes I've tried it with my airpods pro on transparency mode and although I could walk around playing music I wouldn't want to be playing iron maidan or black sabith at the time. And crossing an uncontrolled intersection, I gave a try but that got close to

Ok. Given the fact transparency is so well done, are any VI folks here brave enough to wear them walking around? To me, it might be triggering fodder for those with their own moral high ground. It’s not like everyone is listening to Dubstep with the volume at 90%! Opinions welcomed! And
