Speak. Hear yourself in another language.
Tap and say something. About 60 seconds, free.
Audio goes from your browser straight to the translation model over an encrypted connection. It doesn't pass through our servers and we don't store any of it.
The system
Two parts, each doing
what it's best at.
Most listings in this category fuse the hardware and the software into a single number on a box. We'd rather show you the seam, because each half is doing real work.
The earbuds
$69
Built around getting your voice in cleanly — the single thing that determines whether translation works in a noisy room. Bluetooth 5.1 for a link that holds, four hours of continuous use with about four more charges waiting in the case, and USB-C so you're not hunting for a cable in an airport.
- Bluetooth 5.1 — A link that holds across a room
- 4 h + case — About four more charges on the go
- USB-C — The cable you already carry
AI Earbuds Live
$39/year · 25 hours included
The translation engine. Speech-to-speech on a current frontier model, streaming translated audio back while you're still mid-sentence rather than waiting for you to finish. It runs in the browser, so it gets better every time the model does — and you never buy hardware again to get the improvement.
- 57 languages spoken back, automatic input detection
- Any phone, tablet, or laptop — nothing to install
- Audio never touches our servers, and nothing is recorded
Versus the alternatives
What you'd otherwise use.
The real competition isn't other earbuds — it's the translation app already on your phone, or a dedicated handheld translator. Here's the honest comparison.
| AI Earbuds Live | Phone translation app | Handheld translator | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hands stay free | Yes, through the earbuds | No — phone in hand | No — device in hand |
| Speaks the translation out loud | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Starts before you finish your sentence | Yes | Usually waits for a pause | Usually waits for a pause |
| Languages spoken back | 57 | Varies by app | Varies by device |
| Anything to install | No — runs in the browser | App download | A whole extra device |
| Works offline | No | Some, with packs | Some |
| Audio stored on our servers | Never | Depends on the vendor | Depends on the vendor |
| Extra hardware to carry | No | No | Yes |
"Varies" and "depends on the vendor" are there because those categories genuinely differ product to product, and we're not going to invent a number for someone else's software.

The supplier's listing for this hardware advertises 144 languages. We can't verify that number, so we don't use it. The list above is pulled from the translation API itself — it's what the engine genuinely speaks, and nothing more.

Questions
The ones worth answering.
How long does delivery take?
Orders leave the warehouse in 2–3 business days, then 7–13 days in transit. That's the real window, not a best case. If you need it next week, take Live on its own — it works today, with headphones you already own.
Where does the translation actually happen?
In AI Earbuds Live, which runs in your browser. That's a deliberate design decision, not a shortcut: it means the translation engine improves continuously without you ever buying new hardware, and it's why the quality holds up against devices costing several times more. The earbuds handle what hardware is good at — capturing your voice cleanly and putting sound in your ear.
Can I use Live with earbuds I already own?
Yes. Live works with any headphones, or none at all. The kit pairs it with earbuds tuned for voice capture because clean input is what translation quality depends on most.
Which languages does it handle?
It detects what you're speaking automatically — there's no input language to set — and speaks back in 57, listed in full above. That list is pulled from the translation API itself rather than a marketing sheet. The supplier's listing for this hardware claims 144 languages; we've no way to verify that number, so we don't use it.
Does it work offline?
No. Live needs a connection because the translation engine runs in the cloud — that's the trade that buys you the quality. On a patchy hotel connection it will stutter, so keep an offline phrasebook for anywhere you can't count on data.
What happens after 12 months?
Your 25 included hours don't expire during the year, and the earbuds keep working as regular Bluetooth earbuds indefinitely. After 12 months you can renew Live or not — nothing auto-charges you.
What if I don't like it?
30 days, send it back, full refund including the Live bump. Email hello@aiearbuds.com and we'll sort it out. No restocking fee.
