Timekettle unveils W4 Plus AI translation earbuds at IFA 2026
Timekettle announced W4 Plus AI translation earbuds at IFA 2026, promising faster, natural-sounding translation with two pricing versions.
The W4 Plus follows last year’s W4 and W4 Pro and still supports 52 languages, 106 accents, and 13 language pairs for offline translation. The main upgrade is Babel OS 3.0, which the manufacturer says allows translations to be faster and sound more human.
The earbuds come in two versions. A standard version includes some AI features that require a monthly subscription, while a more expensive subscription-free version includes all features. The new product provides more than three hours of continuous translation, with the charging case extending total use time to 12 hours.
Timekettle says the hardware-based translation experience differs from most software-based translation tools. The announcement places the W4 Plus as the successor to last year’s W4 series as IFA 2026 opens.
