M2 雙向翻譯耳機

Really good

I originally purchased the timekettle M2 for my travels to Brazil. I'm a beginner in speaking Portuguese and I need reliable and comprehensive way to communicate with the locals. It initially took a few minutes for me to get started using the device, but after I got it working I realized that I made a smart purchase. It's very easy to use and very accurate as far as translating most spoken words. I especially loved that it had a community feature to be able to listen to others, whether it is a customer service speaking on a P.A. or just a group of people talking in a language that I may not understand. I would recommend this product for anyone considering traveling abroad, or simply wanting to learn a new language.

Giving it 4 stars because the ear bud is too big and hurts our ears. My wife's ears are small and she usually uses over the ear headphones when in need. I usually use ear buds myself but these even challenged me. It is really too bad because the sound is incredible! Music is crisp and full. The app is easy to setup and use as well. We tried a few phrases and worked like a charm. We did end up returning them though. Thanks

The set up is easy, the charging case will only accept the proper ear bud and appears to be controlled with magnets. Magnets also hold the charging case closed. This unit charges with a Type C USB connection and is quick to charge.

The unit can be used with three different modes: (1) Listening mode to touch speaker button and talk, but the back button has to be used to go back to speak the second language. (2) Touch mode allows two different languages to be spoken on the same screen and is great to use for the practice of another language. (3) Speaker mode, which allows for the native language to be spoken into the phone and the foreign language to be vocalized through the phone's speaker or vice versa. This is the best way to communicate with others if you do not want to give the other person one of the ear buds. That is the one I used most when trying to communicate with people in El Salvador. An added perk is that these can double to listen to music. The sound for music is crisp and delightful.

The customer support personnel were responsive to my emails. I have, since the first review I wrote, gave them another chance, not for translation between me and another party but rather to learn the downloaded language. While I have a ways to go to become fluent, I can absolutely see where these will be helpful in this endeavor. There are many different languages to choose from for the language packs or you could use the program through the internet for more language options. The choice is yours to make.

When the devices are purchased they come with 30 fish, which are like money to download offline language packs. The language packs are around $5.00 each so the fish card really helps. While the device does work better with an internet connection the download language packs would be good for language practice in places with sketchy internet. I simply put English as my input language and presto the words I am saying come through the ear buds in the language I am trying to learn, plus I get the option to hit the replay repeatedly to practice my pronunciation. Or, if I want to see if I have mastered the pronunciation I flip the input language and will hear what I said in other language in my native language through the ear buds to determine if I have mastered that word or string of words. This is a great tool for language barriers and or learning other languages

Cons: You must speak slowly and clearly into the microphone on your phone. If you talk too soft the Timekettle app will not pick up your words to translate.

I look forward to newer versions of the same.

The customer service was amazing. I’m not a young man anymore so this technology is completely new to me. Giovanni, the customer care, assistant, Spent a long time with me, making sure that I got it to work correctly. Much more time and service that I have ever received from any online purchases in the past. He was very patient and helpful and we got it to work perfectly. I’ve been trying it out with one bud in one year and one in the other and so far, it works as advertised. I must grab a local Spanish speaker to see how it works in different environments but as it’s working now is really all I needed to do.
