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

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.

Here is yet another Product I found interesting and it had a discount on Scamazon plus was supposed to come with a free gift. Lets Start with the fact this Product does not Work!!! I speak some Spanish and Fluent in English so it was easy for me to test this product at least using those 2 Languages. First you will need to have you Phone in your hand and Intrude on the person your talking to by putting the Phone in there Face.??? Yes even with a Build in Microphone this product requires you to use your Phones Microphone not the microphone that is built in the earbuds. It never translated either Spanish -> English or the reverse. I couldn't believe for $150 it uses the Phones Microphone and still COULDNT TRANSLATE correctly. This Item is a complete waste of Money I wouldn't pay $5 for this or any Product made by Timekettle. I tried another one of there Products with the exact same result so I'm sure its just a Low Quality Company charging as if they have a Functional Quality Product which they DON'T. Do NOT BUY from this company there products Do NOT WORK!!

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

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.

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.

We've bought this in preparation for an upcoming trip to Japan. The earbuds fit in my ear well. I have tested it with a few movies and anime to get a feel for it. [for clarity, I was sitting on my couch, with the volume at a normal level with the phone on in front of me] They speak a little faster than the device can properly translate, there is a lag, but I get the gist of what is going on so I do not feel like you need to have your phone shoved into a person's face to get a proper audio pick up to translate so that is nice. And if the person speaking knows to speak slowly I do not believe there will be an issue in the real world application The battery seems to be holding up well so far and I like the magnetic charging case that comes included (but I personally would prefer a matte black but thats just aesthetics) The overall program is pretty easy and using the included fish card to buy a few downloadable languages it straight forward and easy enough to cash in and choose your options. (though, seems like they could've just given all 6 languages instead of making me just choose 5, maybe there is a plan to add more in the future so having to pick will become more necessary) All in all, I am looking forward to using this overseas and its making my wife a lot more assured that this trip wont leave us completely isolated from everyone around us.

The app could be a little more intuitive, but it does OK. The earbuds, once placed in conversation mode and shared with another user, worked OK for about 30 minutes, then the right earbud stopped listing to my voice. It could hear the other person's translation, but I could not activate mine. Put both buds back into the case and reconnected. Same thing - worked fine for a while, then the right one stopped working again. As for the quality of the translation, it was OK. Most of the time, it got the idea across, but it frequently repeated the word "tadpole", and spit out other such garbage. In the end, it's really too much trouble to use them. I don't know if this is a defective product, or if the technology simply isn't well-designed. Either way, they are not worth $150. Using the translator on my phone is a little more trouble, but at least it's dependable. By the way, I didn't have a chance to see if the downloaded language worked without a network connection. That was really my motivation for buying them. However, the problems outweighed any convenience they offer.

I purchased this product to use while traveling in China to visit my wife's family during Lunar New Year visits as well as some business activities. I have been using it for about two weeks with a great deal of success. The product itself has a solid design, the fit of the earbuds is great, and I like the storage/charging case. Connecting to my phone has been no problem. As far as the technology, this is the best translating equipment I have used to date. The only shortcomings I have experienced is that the dialect is Ping Jiang wasn't always picked up well when speaking with older relatives. I am not surprised by this as we have accents in Louisiana that would be very difficult for a translator to pick up. The other problem I've run into, and this is no fault of the system, is that in a gathering it is difficult to hold on to one conversation. The culture usually has three or four conversations going on at one time and this product seems to be designed primarily for one-on-one chats. All that being said, I would recommend this product to friends and would absolutely purchase again. UPDATE: While traveling in China I had some issues with the offline connection. I contacted the customer support for assistance. They responded very quickly and issued me a new PIN code for offline access. So in addition to a solid product, the support for the product has been great.

Hi guys, I’ve bought this product that helps us in communication when traveling and especially to translate communication between my family and my partner. We have tried it and is really good. Works perfectly with my language (Slovak) and English. We have also tried my partners language (Portuguese) to Slovak/English and no issues. Battery is good and you can use it even on a daily basis as normal earplugs. The shape is good and my ears doesn’t hurt me, and they have noise cancellation. highly recommend Thanks guys

A pesar de que tarda un poco en traducir y que no debe haber mucho ruido al rededor porque traduce otras cosas. A mi en general me gustó mucho.
