The Apple AirPods Pro has been rumoured for a while now and it looks like the near earphones could make one huge design change from previous Apple earphones. Apple have long bucked the trend of rubber eartips for their earphones, which I have always personally found bizarre as it makes getting a good fit difficult….
I have previously reviewed the excellent Langogo Genesis AI-Language Translator; however, depending on the scenario, it is not always the most convenient solution. The TimeKettle WT2 Plus has a different solution to the problem; their translator adopts an earbud format for hands-free real-time translation.
