Timekettle M3 Language Translator Earbuds, Two-Way Translator Device with APP for 40 Languages and 13 Offline Translation Packs, Fast Reaction with Revolutionary Al Semantic Tech, Offline Version

I bought a cheap pair of translate earbuds on sale. They were extremely delayed in the translation, had a rather steep learning curve with poor instructions. Needless to say, I returned them and listen to the other reviews "what you pay is what you get". So I purchased these M3 translator earbuds and I'm glad I did. They are much higher quality easier to use better instructions minimal delay, and I'm pretty happy, I paid a little more for a lot more. When traveling I don't always have good cell service or Wi-Fi close by and the off-line translation seals the deal for me as they must have.

I recommend buying the same brand but in black that comes with accessories, there are two types that they offer, this one really resulted in inconsistencies, I had to put them in their case and reconnect them several times in an hour because it would disconnect, it doesn't come with an accessory and it would fall out of my hands. ears many times lost the signal or even because there was some wind it stopped working. the volume too low. many say this is bad and others say it's perfect, I'll tell you. We both purchased the white Timekettle WT2 Edge/W3 translator and the black one with the Timekettle accessory package. Black is the good one, white is a waste of money, buy the one that is a little more expensive in black, that is the best, without a doubt it is the black one, the translation is correct quickly, you do not need to keep the cell phone with the screen open, You just plug it in and that's it. It has no signal interruptions and the headphones come with accessories so that they do not fall out of the ear. It is clear and can be heard clearly, sometimes I thought it was very loud and other people could notice it but that was not the case. It also lasts for many hours activated. I love it. Now compared to white, which is cheaper. It's really inferior. Says inconsistencies when translating. You have to plug it in every 10 minutes because it is difficult to put it in and take it out every time. It's really annoying, it doesn't come with in-ear accessories, you should buy it. It sounds slow... so you know, if you want something really good, buy the one that comes in the black Timekettle accessory package. Timekettle WT2 Edge/W3 Translator. I tried it at work and it worked great. You don't have to press it every time you want to talk, just turn it on and live happily. Buy it!!!

I've owned the previous M2 translator earbuds and I believe the M3 are a huge improvement. It really depends on what your own preferences are. If you like how Airpods fit in your ears, then the M2 would be more your style. If you like how Beats fit in your ears, then the M3 would be more your style. I like to exercise from time to time when I wear my earbuds, so the form fitting M3's are exactly what I needed. As pure audio earbuds, these sound fantastic. I own over 20 pairs of earbuds. The bass and clarity of these can compete with the best of them. Everyone was able to hear me clearly and vice versa for phone calls. It would have been nice if these had ANC, but again...that's a personal preference. If you like to hear ambient noise for safety reasons, these would be perfect. Maybe it will be an option they will add in the future.Now, let's talk about the translation feature. They were relatively easy to setup, especially if you're used to purchasing the offline translation packages using the proprietary currency called the "fish card". The Timekettle Fish Card is a virtual digital card used to top up your Timekettle account for downloading offline language packages. 5 Fish can redeem a bundle of offline language.I tested these by speaking phrases in Spanish into my phone and then waited for the app to read the phrase back to me in English. At first, I noticed that the first word of every sentence was being cut off. I went into the settings for my earbuds and changed the sensitivity to 30 and the pause time to 2 seconds. That seemed to be the sweet spot (YMMV) to get it to translate the first word of the phrase as well. I also downloaded and tested Spanish to English, Russian to English and Chinese to English. All of them seemed to work flawlessly without needing to access the internet.In summary, I've tried taking Spanish lessons in the past. It takes years to fully learn a new language. These in-ear translators allow you to instantly communicate in multiple languages without years in a classroom. There was a time I wired money to myself in Mexico and when I went to the bank to cash out, I couldn't because I didn't speak the language and nobody was available to translate. That will no longer be an issue thanks to TimeKettle and their wonderful products.I will also follow-up with an unboxing video in the near future.

Having actually tried this while traveling... it can't keep up for what I wanted it for (listen mode while not connected to the internet so I wouldn't be entirely in the dark when my new in-laws were talking to each other, my bride, and our children). At least not for Chinese -> English. I ran across a number of difficulties:1) They keep disconnecting every few minutes (and I have a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, so not exactly a weak phone, and I have no issues with my other Bluetooth devices), and the app bails every time even one of the two earpieces disconnects. As it also translates to the screen, this behavior is stupid, at least when using Listen mode.2) It can't deal with background noise.3) It's not registering my in-laws end-of-sentence pause, nor noticing when one relative stops and another beings. This produces a very long delay in my comprehension (via the device) of what's being said. However, it turns out this is a setting, it's just a little hard to find. You may want to get in touch with their support team to adjust it.4) English takes a little longer than Chinese, and it kept running out of buffer space (at least, I assume that's why it kept spitting out "Tadpole, Tadpole, Tadpole, Tadpole..." after a little while). This too is a hard-to-find setting; again, contact support.So it needs some work. It does function if you find the right settings and you're in a reasonably quiet environment.
