During CES 2025 Timekettle unveiled the enhanced W4 Pro Earbuds featuring bidirectional call functionality and powered by its new proprietary software, Babel OS. These advancements set a new standard for real-time, cross-language communication, enabling two-way translations during phone and video calls across any platform.
The W4 Pro allows users to effortlessly engage in multilingual conversations without requiring the other party to install apps or software. Supporting over 40 languages and 93 accents, it offers near-perfect 95% translation accuracy with a minimal delay of 3-5 seconds, featuring various modes to cater to different situations, including:
- One-on-One Mode: Share an earbud for face-to-face translation.
- Listen and Play Mode: Record and later play translated audio.
- Switch to Speak Mode: Broadcast translated speech for meetings or presentations.
Additionally, the earbuds come with real-time bilingual transcriptions and an AI-driven summarization feature that generates meeting minutes post-call. Other highlights include customizable lexicons for specific industries, real-time bilingual transcription, and ultra-low latency.
Bringing an ergonomic design for comfort, the product promises a 12-hour battery life, and quick charging in just one hour.
At the heart of the W4 Pro’s performance is Babel OS, which enables lightning-fast translations and context-aware customization. Babel OS incorporates AI semantic segmentation and voice cloning to ensure natural, conversational translations. It is also GDPR-compliant, ensuring data security.

The W4 Pro Earbuds are priced at $449, available starting January 7, 2025, with Babel OS featured in multiple Timekettle devices, including the WT2 Edge ($349.99) and X1 Interpreter Hub ($699.99). These products are available on Timekettle’s website and Amazon.
