Timekettle M2 vs WT2 | What's the Difference Between Timekettle M2 and Timekettle WT2 Plus?

 

 

All-New Innovation

Timekettle M2 is the world’s first translation earbuds that offer Offline Speech Translation while providing music and calling feature that sounds spectacular.

How M2 happens?

We finished the WT2 campaign back in 2017 - a professional translation device empowering simultaneous live translation and entrusted by nearly 300K users worldwide. It is one of the best-selling translators on Amazon to date.

We put a lot of time and resources to talk and listen to our users, while trying to spot the most-wanted and- original need they have for wireless earbuds. Taking this feedback and thought into consideration, we re-designed and- engineered the idea to deliver Timekettle M2.

Who the M2 benefits?

This product from Timekettle introduces an all-in-one solution for customers that frequently require translating speeches and sentences in their everyday life, all while being able to utilize the Timekettle M2 in regular wireless earbuds setting, with the expectation of premium music, which we have done a very good job at, by featuring Qualcomm aptX Audio Codec Compression to ensure the users would get the very most from their music and phone calls.

Targeting: Timekettle M2 targets a more general segment of the translator market, in which customers believe they would or might require a translator in the foreseeable future, yet are reluctant for such a decision because they ain’t sure when they would need it. So we put music and calling into the Timekettle M2 to make it versatile, and outperform the market in quality-wise audio.

WT2 Plus, on the other hand, is different in technology, experience, and manufacturing cost. The product targets a very niche market - the real tech enthusiasts and customers with an extensive need for translations. WT2 Plus features the Simul Mode, in which both users wearing the earbuds would be able to speak, translate, and counter-response automatically, speeding up the entire translation catalog by at least 50%, very close to simultaneous interpretation conducted by a human translator.

Chip: To make WT2 Plus such a powerful device, we have had to sacrifice the music and calling feature in response to a factual situation that every chip on the market does not have sufficient calculating power to support what WT2 Plus could do while keeping the music and calling features. Besides that, WT2 Plus has noise-cancellation feature
