Timekettle M3 3-in-1 Translator Earbuds with Real-Time Translation, White

I've been very happy with my Timekettle M3 earbuds. While I originally purchased them for their translation capabilities, I've found myself using them just as often for everyday listening. The sound quality is surprisingly good, they're comfortable to wear for extended periods, and the battery life has been solid.The translation features work well when traveling or communicating with people who speak different languages, but what impressed me most is that they also function as excellent everyday wireless earbuds. For the price, they offer a lot of the convenience and functionality you'd expect from much more expensive options.One feature I especially appreciate is the ability to download languages for offline use. When traveling, you don't always have reliable cellular service or Wi-Fi, and having translation capabilities available offline provides extra confidence when navigating unfamiliar places.Overall, I would recommend the Timekettle M3 to anyone looking for a practical and reliable translation solution

They are very good, indeed they have a fairly significant translation delay in the listening mode.

I had high expectations for the Timekettle M3, but I found it disappointing. The translation lag is about 5 to 10 seconds behind the speaker, similar to free Google Translate. Offline mode performs even worse. I plan to return it tomorrow.

These Timekettle M3 translator earbuds work surprisingly well and make conversations in different languages much easier. The real-time translation is fast and accurate, and the sound quality is clear for both music and calls. I love that they support offline translation and don’t require a subscription. The earbuds are comfortable to wear and easy to connect with both iPhone and Android devices. Perfect for travel, business meetings, or learning new languages. Very useful and worth the price!

I saw this on a you tube video by a travel vlogger using it in Vietnam. My wife is a native Vietnamese speaker as is her family. I have looked at similar products a few years back but they were kind of new and maybe needed some time to improve, so didn't buy them. I just used the translator apps on my cell phone, which work ok. However, we had upcoming vacations that took us to Italy, Turkey, Mexico, and Vietnam, so this seemed like a good time to try something better. You have to take the review with a grain of salt, because admittedly I did not actually use it much. However, my review is mostly about the reasons I didn't use it and why it's not so convenient. I had this translator with me (in my bag) most of the time on vacation, but not all of the time. I rarely thought to pull it out, but when I did it took too long to set it up (pair it, open the app, configure my setting). And it needs an internet connection, whether that be wifi or a cell signal. The times it would be most useful were when we were out and about (like shopping or eating in local markets). Those times I did not have good connections. This is not a fault of the translator, but it is a requirement of the translator. There are offline versions but seem to only be useful if you are translating back and forth between certain languages and Chinese. They aren't available for all the language combinations. For that, you need the internet. It would be nice even if just a "basic" package was available off-line for those other languages. In any case, I didn't use it a lot. Probably if you practice with it a lot, you will get used to it, but for me it was difficult to get used to speaking at the correct time in order for the translator to recognize what to translate. And that's just for me and it's mine. Nevermind trying to instruct the other people how to use it (when I can't speak their language in the first place). Since I couldn't get the conversation option to work, I thought it might be useful to just "listen" to what was being said around me, like in a market or crowded place. But it didn't work like I wanted (or maybe at all). When I first got it (even before traveling) I tested it with my wife and I speaking Vietnamese and English (with a wifi connection at home). Not surprisingly perhaps, it didn't recognize anything I said in Vietnamese (my Vietnamese is bad) but it was also hit and miss with my wife and she speaks Vietnamese every day. It does work ok as a translator but not any better than the free apps I already have on my phone. The sound quality is pretty good, so if I need headphones to listen to music, they seem pretty good. However, on the airplane I bring wired headphones (in order to connect to airline entertainment systems). They can also be used for making calls. I just use my wired earbuds for that, but I can see how some people would prefer these for sound quality and no cords. But I don't make a lot of calls and I rather not worry about whether they are charged or not.

Los llevé a una gira en inglés y le comenté a la que dirigía el grupo quería mantenerme cerca de ella para que el celular escuchara e hiciera la traducción. Ella estuvo dispuesta a colaborar y fue un éxito. No espere que sea una traducción 100% exacta, pero con un poco de sentido común podrá disfrutar de cualquier conversación en un idioma diferente al suyo. No se preocupe por la batería. Estuve en un evento 3 días y no tuve necesidad de recargar.

Fair enough but difficult to use and harder to understand for interpretation. I no longer use it. It was an expensive lesson.

The customer support is awesome. I ran into a problem with one earbud and they responded very quickly. I was so happy they were able to help. I could not return them because I was outside of Amazon return policy. I did panic a little, because these were not the cheap kind. These are very good quality. And I did not want to purchase another pair. So I message customer support, and after all the troubleshooting failed, they sent me a replacement.
