What it is
Built for the conversation in front of you
Translation you pay for usually arrives with a plan attached. This is a pair of earphones you own, doing the job for one price.
Both sides, one pair
Hand one earpiece over and you each hear your own language, at the same time. Nobody holds a phone out and waits.
Nothing goes in your ear
The hook rests over the ear and the speaker sits just outside the canal. You hear the market, the platform announcement and the person in front of you.
Paid for once
No account, no plan, nothing to cancel. The price on this page is the whole price.
Up close
The pair, in use
-
-
Both sides of the conversation.
You speak, they hear it in their language. They answer, you hear yours.
-
It pairs with the phone you already own.
Bluetooth to your phone. Nothing else to carry.
-
Noise where you need it gone.
Noise cancelling (seller-stated), so a loud terminal stops eating half the sentence.
-
The case is the charger.
Up to 5 hours of translation, and about 20 more waiting in the case (seller-stated).
-
Small enough to always have on you.
The case sits in a palm. It travels in the pocket you already use.
Why this one
What you get for the one price
Talk, do not type
You stop pointing at a screen and start looking at the person. One of you speaks, the other hears it in their own language, and the conversation keeps its rhythm instead of stopping every sentence.
Charges in the case
Drop them in. The case tops them up.
One earpiece each
Hand one over and you both stay hands-free — each person hears their own language, at the same time, without passing a phone back and forth.
The phone stays in your pocket
Your phone does the translating over Bluetooth, so it never has to come out and sit between you like a wall.
Earphones the rest of the time
Calls and music work like any other Bluetooth pair. Translation is a mode, not the only thing they do.
A translation app is free to install.
The monthly plan is what you are signing up for.
This pair is bought once and kept.
Nothing renews.

No plan, no account
You pay for the earphones.
Not for the month.
There is no tier to upgrade, no renewal date and nothing that stops working if you forget to pay. The pair you buy keeps translating for as long as it keeps charging.

Questions & answers
Do I need my phone with me?
Yes. The pair connects to your phone over Bluetooth and the phone runs the translation. It stays in your pocket while you talk — it just has to be with you.
Does it work without internet?
Offline mode handles essential phrases — enough to ask directions, order a meal or check into a room. A full back-and-forth conversation needs the phone online, because that is where the accents and slang are handled.
How do two people use one pair?
One earpiece each. You speak, the other person hears it in their language through theirs, and their answer comes back through yours. Neither of you holds anything.
Do they go inside my ear?
No. The hook sits over the top of the ear and the speaker rests just outside the canal, so the ear stays open. That is why you can still hear a platform announcement while wearing them.
How long do they last on a charge?
Up to 5 hours of translation, with roughly 20 more hours held in the charging case (seller-stated). A day of sightseeing does not run them flat.
Can I use them as normal earphones?
Yes — calls and music work like any other Bluetooth pair. The translation is a mode, not the only thing they do.
Which languages?
More than 140 (seller-stated), covering the languages most travellers meet. The list lives in the app rather than on the earphones.
What if they are not for me?
Send them back within 30 days of delivery for your money back.
30-day money-back guarantee
Take them on one trip
One conversation you would have skipped is the whole argument. Wear them for a month — if they stay in the drawer, send them back.
