If you want to communicate in another language but don’t have the time or inclination to learn it, an automatic translator can be a viable alternative (just ask anyone on Star Trek). While no translator is flawless, the Mymanu CLIK S Translation Earbuds have earned good performance reviews and can handle 37 different languages.

These translation earbuds can be used for live translation, both written and spoken translation, and you can also use them to listen to music or make calls. Right now you can get a pair of Mymanu CLIK S Translation Earbuds on sale for $149 (regularly $157).

Translate 37 languages

These earbuds have been featured at CES and won a Red Dot award for their intuitive design and seamless functionality. They can quickly translate live conversation in French, Spanish, German, Japanese, and a myriad of other languages. Install the free MyJuno app on your iOS or Android device to access the translation function on your earbuds. From there, you can select the language you’re speaking and the language you need to translate.

When you speak, hold down the CLIK button on your earbud and release when you’re done. A translation will automatically play on your phone and be displayed in writing. When your conversation partner speaks, they just need to talk into your phone. You’ll automatically hear a translation played in your ears and be able to see it displayed on your screen as text.

The Mymyanu CLIK S can translate for multiple speakers at the same time, but it those instances it will only provide a translated text log for you to read. One of the only downsides of these translation earbuds is that they rely on the MyJuno app. MyJuno is intuitive and easy to use, but that does mean you have to keep an eye on your device (and keep two batteries charged) if you want to keep translating. However, the earbuds can last up to 10 hours on a single charge, and the case adds 20 hours more.
