br>I had high hopes for this product, but it has disappointed me greatly. 1. br>br> The earbud is roughly the same size as a penny. That's way too big for my ear canals. Because it's a fixed firm plastic earbud, there's no way to reduce the size. 2. br>br>1. br>br>br>br>br>br I paid the extra $30 for the offline package, only to discover that it only gives you a coupon for one language pack download. Anything beyond that must be purchased. It's being sold as an offline package, which is a bit misleading. br>br> The app's interface functionality (you must use this with a specific app) is quite good. The translation is quick, and the displays are set up so that two people can look at the screen at the same time. br>br>It's a real shame because it was so close to being a truly great product. However, if you have large ear canals and are willing to spend a lot of money on offline language packages that must be updated, you may not be disappointed.

I was initially concerned that I would be able to use it for German offline, as this appeared to be a possibility. However, it turned out that it didn't make a difference. It's also a waste of time on the internet. It was pointless to use the earbuds to delay the spoken word. Simply use your phone and MS Translate or Google Translate. In any case, you'll need to download an app. It was less accurate than the other options in terms of accuracy. Especially when it comes to dialects such as Bavarian. Slavic languages, such as Polish, are a different story. It's over. br>br>Continue reading - Rather than fixing their product, they wanted to give me a $150 Amazon gift card in exchange for removing my review because the truth, apparently, hurts. TimeKettle, please accept my apologies. br>br> but NO. Your product is no better than a cool pair of earphones on a sloppy translation program. Your ads and product listings make a lot of promises, but the product falls far short, and I'm not going to be bribed to take down my review. br>br>Instead, allow me to expand a little more. br>br>MAYBE when the next versions are betterbr>MAYBE when the next versions get to download the data set for all languages instead of just a few Asian onesbr>MAYBE when it starts to work in real timebr>MAYBE (The Big One) when you don't have to use your cellphone as a microphone. br>MAYBE you fix everything, then send me a version, and I'll take this review down. BUT, FOR THE TIME BEING. br>br> If you're looking for a Slavic or Germanic language, this is the place to go. Simply take out your cellphone, download MS Translator, and then download the language pack for your preferred language (all of which are free). It's more precise than M2, faster, and both require the use of a cellphone. br>br>I sincerely hope that someone succeeds in developing an earpiece that can translate using the processing power of a cellphone. One in which you can hear what they're saying in real time; I can imagine a sound canceling technology in which the person speaking has their sounds cancelled out by the earpiece and what they say is replaced by the translation. Right now, we're quite a distance from that. But that is exactly what the public desires. br>br>I believe that at the very least, if the M2 didn't require the use of a cellphone and could pick up and translate what was said. It would be worthwhile if that were the case. However, you must have your phone out and facing the speaker. It is not worth the money (much like a phone-based translator app). br>br>Timekettle May I suggest that you purchase a license for the Microsoft Translator program as well as the language packs? It would save you money and time because they already know how to do it better. Furthermore, Microsoft does not sell computer hardware. br>br>So if you concentrated on the hardware and left the translation to the experts, you'd be better off. Perhaps Microsoft could assist you with the hardware as well.

To make use of the translation features, you must first download an app. You can use a touch mode to pass a headphone to the person with whom you wish to communicate. Then, to switch between listener and speaker, you must touch your phone's screen. You can also use a speaker mode to speak in your native language, which will be translated into their language. If you want to learn a new language, you can speak in your native tongue and have it translated into another. If you want to listen to music on your phone or make phone calls, these can also be used as regular headphones. According to the manual, they last around 30 hours. The magnetic charging case charges the headphones without the need for a plug. The only drawback is that in order to translate languages, you must have the app open, and the headphones are quite large. Because there is a delay, it is impossible to have a conversation while multiple people are speaking. It's only suitable for one-on-one conversations as a result. You must also be in close proximity to the person, as it has trouble picking up voices from a distance. I had trouble getting both headphones to connect; it doesn't say in the manual, but once one connects, you can tap the blue button on the screen to connect the other if it doesn't auto connect; I posted a picture of the screen with the blue button.

I tried everything I could think of before calling their customer service and returning the item after waiting three days for a response and not being able to get anyone on their chat.

Do. not. get. You get a qr code that downloads after you get a slew of oh no, try this app instead warnings about the essential app. nothing? After that, it simply displays amusing images in whatever misery you've chosen. Don't do it, to be honest. When I finally get around to using some translation software, it switches from heard to desired language at random. Without a doubt. For me, that was the deciding factor. I can get around stupid bugs, but that's all there is to it.

I enjoy traveling and have visited over ten countries thus far. I've always required the services of a translator. The M2 translator is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. It's the tiniest translator I've ever seen, and the ergonomic design works well with my ears. I experimented with three different settings: There are three different modes: touch, listen, and speaker. The accuracy of the translation is excellent. The M2's ultra-high sound quality is something I really like. I can use it to listen to music and make phone calls when I'm not communicating with foreigners. Many other translators do not have this feature, so I recommend that you purchase it. It functions as a standard earphone. It is important to have a good translator when traveling abroad.
