Timekettle M3 Translation Earbuds Review - Do they work?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- The Timekettle M3 Translator Earbuds might not be perfect but they have certainly impressed me with their ability to translate things to a point of understanding. After trialing a few different languages in real life situations, they get the tick from me and will be travelling with me in future.

I just recently met a woman who speaks Spanish and I speak English I've been using my Google translator to communicate with her. This looks like just what I been searching for thank u so much
Same here
After 5 years, my Mexican Latina and I hardly ever need Google translate when we are together. I speak in broken Spanish, l and she speak in broken English with absolutely NO PROBLEMS in us understanding each other.. 😮
But a problem comes in when we're NOT together and we mostly use WhatsApp along with the Gboard keyboard's built in translation feature which works 100% perfectly...😮
The only major communication problems we have is when we need to have a deep conversation about something...😮
In other words, when we need to talk about things that go beyond the mundane, everyday conversation that couples have, even when theyboth know the same language...😮
Like I'm going to probably have to have a medical procedure, and she won't know anything about what the doctors or nurses are talking about when helping me recover, and that's Why I'm looking to get these earbuds...😮
By the way, I had two marriages that went exactly 13 years, with both of us speaking the same language and a plethora of other relationships with women that spoke the same language, still very few of them went past 2 years...😮
That's why, I'm thoroughly CONVINCED there is such a thing as a language of love and it has absolutely nothing to do with WORDS...🎤💣💨💥🤷🏾♂️💯
Thanks bro. I just saw it in another UA-cam comment that these kinda earbuds exist. Searched for how to use them, and your video came first. Great demonstration. ❤
Glad it help. They’re not perfect but they do help a lot.
@@MakeLifeClick Is this real? I was told that Chinese don't invent anything. Just steal or copy.
I bought the Timekettle M3 earbuds, but my experience has been extremely disappointing. They are practically unusable as they exhibit significant delays in voice translation and does not trasnslates continuously. They pause translating and skip the conversation going in between. Also it's not accurate. Accuracy would be around 50%-60% only.
Not usable for meetings, classes and conferences.
Google Translate, in comparison, performs much better. I suspect this might have been a sponsored video, but I don't recommend purchasing these earbuds as they are a waste of both money and time.
It depends on what language you're trying to translate with Google Translate. because Google Translate is garbage for East Asian languages. Google will translate sentences into the most unhinged things ever. I use Papago for every language
You did better than me. Mine won't work with my phone. I'd hate to buy a newer phone just to use this.
Tech takes time to develop. And you're the input needed to develop that tech. Time will tell.
Brilliant review, thank you. What an awesome product!! 👏
Glad it helped.
we just need a device that lets you speak in that language fluidly
Are the buds actually doing anything or just the app? Any reason why it shouldn’t work with AirPods?
I guess coz you need to connect the bud case through Bluetooth to your phone
This is freaking amazing 😮
In a year or three these things will be very accurate (better that 50 or 60%) my interest would be they help you actually learn the language you are using them for.
I work at a gas station where customers speak several various languages not knowing what language they're speaking makes it tough to choose I need something that automatically picks up their language and translates it.
Many thanks for the great review! Do you know if two devices can be connected at the same time? So the people that are in a conversation can have both earphones instead of sharing one and one? 😅
I didnt hear you say there are no recurring subscription fees
Got the M3 model today. Not as useful as expected. Can't leave your phone alone while translating. Everything this item does can be used with regulator earbuds and Google translate...
thank you for this reply. an actual user of the M3! are you still using them? Google translate can be used in translation mode also. will test that out with regular airpod type headphones
People should be warned and aware that little as one word can be translated to mean something you never imagined and set off a series of events that could become a dangerous threat or issue that you may never be aware of. Do not rely on any translator without some live person to verify the translation entirely.
Asking a stranger to put in an earbud to have a conversation is a non-starter. Until the other person can speak into the phone, this will not be useful for two-way conversations with strangers.
The M3 has a mode for that but the fluentalk T1 is even better for conversations with strangers.
@@MakeLifeClick I just looked it up, and the Fluentalk T1 appears to only have one mic and one speaker. For this to be practical, we need a speaker and mic for each person in the conversation. I don't see that the Fluentalk does anything different or better than a cell phone. We need the device owner to have headphones on and a native speaker to speak into the phone.
Seems like you’d need a good WiFi which is not always possible in South America. ..
They do have an off-line mode also
Gracias 🙏
Yeah but can they here when someone else is talking. If it only hears you because you're wearing the earbuds it kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it?
🤔 Have a co-worker. She knows that we don't speak Spanish. Take advantage . She tries to talk About bad things Half the time it's instinct Or mention of the name to figure out what she's doing. And sometimes google translate can't cut it But anythin's better than nothing I wonder how good these Really work ?
👍👍👍
I need it for listening my speaking is pretty good in most of countries I want to go to
5:34 yeah, well, its clear that the same damn problems with speak recognition plague these as do every other damned phone. you clearly said, "It's doing it automatically as I talk", yet it heard "as by talk". it really pisses me off that speech recognition so often settles on sentences that don't make any damned sense, especially when I had a Samsung Galaxy S2 back in the day, and I could yell full sentences into it while standing next to the big speakers in a club, and while it didn't type as I was talking, it would displaying "working" for about 1-2 seconds, and type exactly what i said, every. single. time. later, I upgraded to a Galaxy S9 as the poor S2 could no longer keep up with the insane amount of code present in today's apps, probably due to security concerns, and more ads. But somewhere along the line, the creators of speech recognition messed up, because my Galaxy S9, and my new A32, never. EVER. EVER. get what I said correct, more than happy to type out some nonsensical jumble of the English language. too often, it will get something right, and then change it in the split second between typing and sending a message, forcing me to send another text correcting it. Sigh. Until they can fix that horrendous problem, I refuse to put my trust in any translation programs. Language, EVERY language, is too nuanced to roll the dice while it still makes such mistakes. And the worst part is, you might not ever know, or you may send the wrong message, offend someone, etc.
Foreigners, be aware of what you say in front of people in your own language especially on the bus lol
Lol
Same to natives speakers.
If your testosterone levels are low it’s not gonna matter any way 😂 🐱
Low test comment@@DreamCatchAah
Just stick with the old fist to inside elbow while making angry face. Saying ,you liiike?!
Does it work if I am wearing the earbuds and I am with a group of people that are talking in another language, will it be able to translate the conversation? Or do they all need to have earbuds as well? Is there a mode for this situation?
Is there Thai and Tagalog?
What’s the name for the app
Almost bought a timekettle until I realized it’s not a translator, it’s a Chinese spyware. It tracks where you are, who you talk to and what you say.
Oh no they know where I poop!?
Ok so youre afraid of your phone???? 🤡
Please can I use this device for translate UA-cam audio to voice?
So the edge is faster ?
It has a better chipset but translation time - I still have to test.
So What Does This Do That Google Translate On Your Phone And Simple Pair Of Ear Buds Can't?
Going to the nail salon and finally knowing what’s being said without being an obvious twit
The biggest problem I have with wireless earbuds is the limited charge time and the number of times the batteries can be recharged before they stop working entirely. Every type of lithium batteries have recharge issues from laptops to bluetooth devices and electric power tools although electric cars cost the most to replace EV batteries.
How much of this and how to order?
so does this require internet connection?
Can you also answer phone calls with it?
sure
Can't believe you never told us how much they cost obviously they are to expensive to bother with
so it works like the free Microsoft translator and ear buds like I used for free now
Yes, but offline is a big advantage. And I think this executes better IRL.
Can it translate while you speak to someone over the telephone?
Does the voice sound like a robot?
It seems quite nice. However, there are concerns that sensitive information might leak to the Chinese government since these are products from a Chinese company. Is this a valid concern? Maybe I worry too much.
Do they have these in a style that wraps around your ears?
Does the product also translate into Uzbek?
I will need to ask you something, it seems neat and a great tool, but which one would you recommend for me? Is the one in your review or the edge? because I'm in Germany and I have classes in real life in german, and I don't understand anything, probably would be best to invest in the most expensive one? Thank you
@alejandramugica4078 I am in Germany too. Quick question, did you buy something if so which one ? I am also looking to buy one. If you can share your experience it will be great. thanks
I’m considering these for work. What I need is to be able to communicate with Spanish speaking workers until I can speak it a little better. A couple questions. Would they work in listen mode if two Spanish speakers were talking and my device was close to them? How does it handle slang/ obscenities, because on my crews if you don’t understand that it can create confusion? Lastly aren’t there apps that would achieve the same thing? I don’t understand what the earbuds provide if you need a device to do the “heavy lifting” so to speak, couldn’t you just use a regular set of earbuds connected to a translation app?
In the offline mode are you able to select the 8 languages you wish to access or are they predetermined?
You choose a language and there are 8 to choose from total. I expect they will release more languages as they become available for off-line.
@@MakeLifeClick What are the 8?
@@timhoward5 According to their site this are the 8 languages, English-Chinese, English-Japanese , English-Korean , English-French , English-Spanish , English-Russian, English-German
Chinese-English, Chinese-Japanese, Chinese-Korean, Chinese-French, Chinese-Spanish , Chinese-Russian, Chinese-German
need some help please
how do i use the M3 to listen to a live group talk on tiktok from my phone - translate from chinese (example) to english to the ear bud
the ear bud is connecting to my phone i hear them but still is in chinese not translating them talking in english
or is this not possible ?
You would need to put your audio on speaker, or attach to an external speaker to play the audio. Have you tried that?
@@MakeLifeClick had to use laptop with 1 bud near the speaker , translation was very average from a tiktok live feed talk compared myself talking & it translating in the buds.
could not get it to work with tiktok on the phone , the speaker cuts out to buds (bluetooth) only get listening not translation
Can you do listen mode with 1 bud in?
Can you pair it with iMac. When watching a foreign language?
This device would also be a great way to learn a foreign language
👍🏻
So it's not translating earbuds, it's an app that theoretically could work with absolutely any earbuds
Not really. Each earphone operates independently for conversations. Hence why you can separate them. Each translation is related through the correct earbud.
@@MakeLifeClick I mean you, that's called spacial audio, and could be done with any decent pair of ear buds like Samsung beans or airpods that has a mic in each bud and is controlled via the programming in the app. Don't get me wrong it's still cool, but until it's built into the headphones themselves without the need of a phone. They're selling an app but marketing the earbuds themselves as the product.
Does anyone know how to use it to connect to Spotify? Can’t seem to use it as a speaker
How will theses do in a church setting?
Probably not brilliant if the pastor talks quickly and shouts alot. Worth trialling them for sure.
I can't get mine to work
Reach out their support? Hard to resolve without more details. Mine still work. Make sure they’re all charged up and Bluetooth connected to phone.
has anyone tried using these to translate from a movie or radio? I've heard that they struggle with that.
They would struggle to keep up. I would see these as a means to travel and communicate. You need some control over the speed of the conversation I.e be able to slow it down if you need to.
BT isn't working for me
Make sure to check you’ve disconnected from other Bluetooth devices and headphones/earbuds.
After pairing, mine doesn't show touch mode, listen mode, speaker mode. My menu only shows

What am I doing wrong?
Hmmm…I can only demonstrate what I’ve shown in the video. If your following those steps but getting a different result I’d check with Timekettle. Definitely the M3?
@@MakeLifeClick update, I reset them 3 times with no luck. However, turning on location solved the problem.🤷♂️
But when u go to talk back....
We tested that, it works. It can help not to have too much notice but it worked and the text on the screen was enough understand what was meant.
Sharing earbuds??? Doesn’t abound healthy
You forgot the Indian English....BTW I wouldn't share my earbud with anybody for hygienic reason
you should ask that family member to tell you then next innovation so you can invent it first
Ha! Yes, I should.
It's really not hard to predict the future. In the future, everyone will have an app on their phone that will pair up with another phone with a simple tap. Then you can talk on your earbuds, and the native speaker will talk on their own earbuds, and everything will work perfectly. Alternatively, if you only have one phone, you'll put on your earbuds, and the native speaker will talk and listen from your phone. The issue isn't predicting the next innovation; that's easy. The hard part is developing it.
Great theory, but aren't the 40 languages only available while online? If out in public, you'd need a new sim card with airtime to be online right? Assuming very limited offline translations?
Wow. Sucks for this company. The AI pin will crush this at product launch.
Would you say it’s suitable in a group setting where I’m trying to understand what they are saying in more detail, and if so, which mode exactly? In this case, it is not necessary for the other people to hear the translated version back. Conversation style, but with multiple people
What about ear protection. Ya know like to cover the bud from other peoples ear trash
You can talk at the same time with the edge ?
I have a set on the way which I’ll review and let you know.
It is mentioned that this has active noise cancellation. But I see nowhere on the earbud, app or manual as to how to enable/disable.it.
I believe it’s always on.
“High-precision Active Noise Cancellation(ANC)”
Is it appropriate for Google Meet conversations?
You’d have to have a really good audio signal from meet. It would work but you might also need to ask them to slow down a lot and offer simple sentences.
So listen mode, do I have to have my phone on me?
Yes.
the robotic voice is such a turn down, in 2024 and they can't use your own voice?
No one would like to put the earbud already some one use :::))) not a good idea
Great for family though, or friends and partners. I have alcohol swabs if needed. Cheap.
Translate too bad to spanish😅
No they do not work. At all (Thai)
In all modes?
Complete disappointment.
Just got mine. Left earbud not functioning at all.
Web chat not active when seeking support.
Menu: text translation only Eng - Chinese -and even this is not working properly.
Have downloaded offline language translation package, paid by reedemed Fishes ...
very confusing and useless and ...
it was supposed to be a Christmas gift.
Wow. It’s like you have a completely different product. Just get a replacement? Mine are still good and taking them away next week.
2 days ago, repeated yesterday = 4 emails, 3 chat msgs asking what to do with my bad earbud - no reply. But yes, they sent yesterday me some promo material for Christmas sale WTF. Seeing your video I decided to purchase, keeping you responisible promoting shixxy company.
Sorry, are you saying you got the replacement?
sometimes you mumble
Thanks. I’ll work on that.
