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)

We have used this translator for more than a year, it works very well, a few weeks ago it had problems with the connection and it did not translate, but most of the time of use it works great, there is a time of about 5 seconds that it takes to translate but I think that is normal because it is a cheap product from this company, I imagine that the high-end ones are better. In short, it works very well and is worth it, translating with more logic than Google Translate!

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!!!

Never tried a live translator before. The capability of these is great. The setup and pairing was very simple. I like the overall style of the earbuds and the case. I have conversations in Spanish every day, but I’m still learning and often the sentences are too fast for me to understand. I took them to Colombia and they did reasonably well. Once in a while the translation comes out a bit crazy, but it’s not the fault of the earbuds. Obviously background noise and clarity will have an impact on accuracy sometimes. I appreciate how the app has options to choose for which region of Spanish I’m using. The customer service is also great. I contacted them for help when I was unable to redeem the card included as credits for downloading the offline translation packs. They replied within the hour and fixed the issue immediately. I would say they can be fairly useful to a degree in the right environment, but a couple issues I had: if there is nothing being said, they will take random breathing or other noises and translate it to “yeah, .. yeah” repeating in your ear, sounding like a couple of robots attempting procreation. Inaccuracies are sometimes crazy enough to potentially cause a serious misunderstanding if you don’t realize it. Sometimes they just stop picking up any audio at all. Overall, they helped a bit, but I ended up putting them away.

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.

It comes with a card that has credits ti download a language to use offline. You can purchase more points ti download more languages but that is for offline use. Online use has all the languages and works fine (pretty close to what is said then being literal translation).Now let’s go over issues that I have faced.1. Does not live translate in ear as described or implied.2. Disconnects often (Bluetooth disconnects)3. Have to connect through time kettle app for translation to work.4. How to use different modes is not very clear. Three modes, listener mode, speaker mode and touch mode.Touch mode works as any translation app you press the button, speak and app translates.Listener mode and speaker mode also requires the app to be open and it transcribes / voice translate but to listen you have to play that audio.In short live communication translation doesn’t work directly in ear.Serves purpose but not as portrayed in different ads seen online.
