Timekettle revealed its latest innovation, the W4 Pro earbuds, during CES 2025 in Las Vegas. These cutting-edge earbuds aim to redefine communication by introducing real-time two-way translation for phone and video calls, supporting 40 languages.
The W4 Pro’s automatic translation kicks in as soon as a call begins, allowing conversations to flow seamlessly across linguistic barriers. However, users should expect a slight delay of three to five seconds between speech and translation. The company describes this feature as enabling bidirectional synchronous translations while maintaining the original voice quality.
In addition to live translations, the earbuds use built-in AI to summarize conversations, offering users an efficient recap of their discussions. Timekettle also preserves its hallmark functionality: face-to-face translations via shared earbuds, as seen in previous models.
Powered by the newly introduced Babel OS, the W4 Pro promises faster, more natural translations. According to the company, Babel OS anticipates speech patterns, adapts to customized vocabularies, and captures emotional nuances to deliver translations that feel more authentic. Babel OS will also be rolled out to older Timekettle models.
The W4 Pro earbuds will hit the market on Sunday, retailing at $449. This announcement highlights Timekettle’s ongoing commitment to breaking language barriers and facilitating global communication.
