Introducing Timekettle’s W4 Pro: Redefining Real-Time Translation
This week at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, Timekettle took center stage with the unveiling of their latest innovation: the W4 Pro earbuds. These cutting-edge earbuds are set to revolutionize how we communicate across languages by offering real-time two-way translation for both phone and video calls.
The W4 Pro effortlessly translates calls in 40 different languages, requiring no input from the user. While there’s a slight latency of around three to five seconds post-speech, this feature promises seamless cross-lingual conversations without compromising voice quality.
“The newly launched feature allows two-way translations to facilitate effortless cross-lingual conversations through any telecommunication application or traditional phone system. It provides bidirectional synchronous translations without disrupting the original voice quality,”

One thing to note is that translated speech will be louder than the original audio. Beyond translations, these earbuds utilize onboard AI to summarize conversation content, providing users with a comprehensive overview of their discussions.

- Available in 40 languages
- Onboard AI for conversation summaries
Moreover, the W4 Pro retains the functionality of earlier models by allowing users to share an earbud for face-to-face translations, making it versatile and user-friendly.
The W4 Pro is powered by Timekettle’s new Babel OS, which promises lightning-fast transitions and intuitive adaptability to customizable lexicons. This operating system not only enhances translation speed but also ensures translations convey human emotions and tonalities. Excitingly, Babel OS will also be available for older models.
The W4 Pro earbuds are set to hit the market this Sunday, priced at $449. Whether you’re a frequent traveler or someone who regularly interacts across different languages, these earbuds could be your new essential tech companion.
