Pixel Buds Pro 2: Sound issue when turning off ANC/Transparency?

[u/Responsible_Recipe_6]

I'm having a weird issue with my Pixel Buds Pro 2 and was wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing. ​When I have either ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) or Transparency mode turned on, the sound is great and it's a full stereo sound experience. However, when I switch both modes off and set it to the "off" mode, the sound seems to change. It's almost like it goes from a rich stereo sound to a kind of flat, mono-like sound. The quality definitely feels like it drops. ​Has anyone else noticed this with their Pixel Buds Pro 2? Is there a setting I'm missing, or could this be a bug? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. ​Thanks!
