Timekettle has introduced its latest

a fresh option for real-time translation.
These earbuds are a more affordable
version of the company’s popular W4 Pro model but come with a more traditional
design.

A Familiar Design with Smart Tech
The new W4 earbuds aren’t like the
W4 Pro, which was an open-ear style.
However, they come as regular earbuds that are
widely known to users.
But do not let its simple look fool you, because the
earbuds come with some advanced features.
One notable feature is the bone voiceprint
sensors, which pick up sounds by detecting vibrations from the user’s ear.
This
helps the earbuds focus on your voice, cut down background noise, and stop
sound from leaking out.
Real-Time Translation for Smooth Conversations
The W4 earbuds are designed to make
communication across languages easier.
They support real-time translation
for 42 different languages, automatically switching between speaking and
listening modes.
This means conversations flow naturally without constant
tapping or switching modes
It can correct tricky
words that sound alike, like “two” and “too,” making translations more accurate
and easier to follow.
One of the clever features carried
over from the W4 Pro is the ability to share an earbud with someone else.
Each
person can then hear translations directly, making it a handy tool for
travelers.
This device also comes in handy for business meetings or even casual conversations with people who
speak different languages.
Looking Ahead: AI Voice Cloning
Timekettle isn’t planning to focus
only on voice translation but to venture into an AI-powered voice cloning
feature.
According to the company, this feature will be ready in 2026.
It will give the earbuds the ability to translate spoken words and, at the same time,
mimic their users' own voice.
Battery Life and Availability
The battery life of this device is pretty good, as users can enjoy up to 4 hours of continuous translation.
It also offers up to 8
hours of uninterrupted supply of music supply on a single charge.
With the
charging case, it’s a whole different level, and users can get up to 10 hours of
translation and 18 hours of music.
The Timekettle W4 earbuds are now
available for $349 or €349 and come in Sandy Gold and Navy Blue.
