Hi everybody, BigBong here and welcome back to another review
I received another amazing gift from Timekettle
They already spoiled me last year with this WT2 Plus
which I tested for you in another video
But today, I would like to introduce this new WT2 Edge
which has so many more awesome features
I'm so excited and without further ado, let's unbox it!
Alright, here we go
I'm gonna stop speaking now
so that we can all enjoy this sound
The sound of novelty
What do we have here?
First the instruction manual written in English
Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese
French, German and Italian
That's the charging case, very nice and shiny
It really feels like opening a shell with a precious perl inside
My precious!
So here they are, Timekettle's WT2 edge earbuds
Very simple, sober but so cool at the same time
with the little speech bubble that should turn on when you use it
Oh here you go
What else do we have?
A fish card, this is to activate the offline language resources
Then there is the "Don't Panic Card" for VIP services
In this box, there should be the charger
Here you go
And what's this
Oh ok, little earpieces for those who need them
I personally don't
What are those?
Oh I see, these are removable earbud protections
for sanitary purposes
knowing that you might be passing the earbuds around
You can fix them like that, it's very simple
Just to remind you the concept behind this device
You've got two earbuds
You wear one, you give one to the other peson
who supposedly doesn't speak your tongue
but one of the 40 languages available in 93 different accents
and you let the magic work
Instead of losing time, passing your phone around
or worse, if you're not using technology
and you're going through the pages of a paper dictionary
Don't get me wrong, you do whatever you want
But let me tell you from experience that
Timekettle's WT2 products are the most practical
and convenient way of having a flowing
conversation in two different languages
Now, I put the box from the previous WT2 Plus
next to this new WT2 edge one
And we can see that it's about half the size
But it's not only the cardboard box
It's also the charging case and the earbuds themselves
that are way smaller
And I can tell you for a fact that they're also lighter
The product itself remains white but for the rest
we notice that they went from an all white
to an all black packaging
In terms of technological improvement
the WT2 Plus was charged with a micro B cable
but the WT2 Edge uses a USB-C one
which is a bit more universal and common today
and which should also be quicker to charge
But it's certainly on the inside
that the WT2 Edge beings it to a whole new level
You've got a bi-directional simultaneous translation feature
couples with smart noise reduction which means that
the WT2 Edge can accurately separate your own voice
within a 25cm radius set as the speaking area
from irrelevant ambient noise
This significantly increases the translation accuracy to up to 95%
When I tested the WT2 Plus
I was by myself in this quiet studio
so the product worked perfectly
But let's say, you're in a middle of a very passionate conversation
And you want to answer back right away
Before, it have been a little bit more complicated
But now, you can speak freely and naturally
without any delay, like a normal conversation really
But that's enough theory, let's try them in real time
I still have my account, but if you don't have one
you'll have to download the app and set it up
Again, there are different modes and options
but don't worry, I'll be going through them
First, there is the "Simul Mode"
So "simul" is for "simultaneous"
And it's gonna record and translate everything that's being said
I guess this is the most natural way
if you're having a one-on-one conversation
So let's try Korean with Spanish... from Mexico
Hello, it's been a while! Have you been doing well?
I miss traveling, but I'm good
Alright, what are we waiting for? Let's start the business meeting!
Then there is the "Touch Mode" which is only gonna record
what you say after you tap the earbud
That would be useful if you're talking to different people
at the same time, for example
and you don't want everything to be recorded and translated
I hope we'll be able to travel to Japan again
I wonder if the tourism industry is gonna get back on its feet
[WT2 Edge translating in Japanese]
I don't know, the world economy is difficult right now
But there is nothing we can do
Then there is the "Speaker Mode" for example if it's not appropriate
to lend your earbud to the other person
If you're talking to waiter in a restaurant
or a stranger in the street for example
The person who is not wearing an earbud will have to
tap the screen before speaking
What is the fastest way to go to Florence city center?
[WT2 Edge translating in Italian]
What is the best dish you recommend in this restaurant?
[WT2 Edge translating in Portuguese]
I'm just discovering that but apparently there is a chat mode now
So these earbuds are particularly useful
fo international businessmen and women
travellers and families with language barriers
But I personally use it fo language learning?
It might sound counter intuitive
because you might think that one doesn't need to learn any language
after getting such a device
But for me, it's quite the opposite
And I realize that before reaching an intermediate level
the language exchange conversations I used to have, were just me
asking the other person to translate pretty much everything
But now I can just ask the WT2 Edge
And the cool thing is that everything is recorded on your phone
if you want to review what you studied
So that's it guys, an amazing tool!
