AI Earbuds 2025
This article was created in partnership with viaim to highlight the RecDot AI earbuds with wireless recording. These lightweight earbuds deliver real-time transcription and translation, premium noise cancellation and more. Professionals across industries today are tasked with collaborating seamlessly and efficiently, often bridging language barriers and time zones. To help address the demands of a modern workplace centered around meetings, viaim leverages artificial intelligence in its expanding suite of smart office devices including the NoteKit (a desktop meeting assistant) and the upcoming OpenNote (open-ear AI earbuds). The brand's flagship product—the viaim RecDot AI earbuds—are pocket-size tools with features designed to help you work smarter, enhance your focus and improve your communication, whether your job is in-person, hybrid, remote or you're constantly traveling. Besides offering hi-res audio and active noise cancellation, these AI earbuds record meetings so you can fully concentrate on the discussion. They can also transcribe audio into 16 languages and translate it into 15 languages in real time, enabling seamless multilingual discourse in international business settings. Audio transcription turns lengthy meetings into easy-to-read documents, while AI analysis converts those documents into concise summaries and straightforward to-do lists for actionable next steps. While the earbuds typically cost $249, they're currently on sale for 15% off ($211.65) for a limited time. Read on to learn about why the viaim RecDot AI earbuds may be useful for you, your colleagues and your career. The viaim RecDot AI Earbuds offer premium noise reduction, dual-device connectivity and more. viaim The RecDot AI earbuds can record in-person and virtual meetings in crisp, clear audio, as well as convert speech into text to eliminate the need for taking notes. Simply wear them in your ears or leave them out in the carrying case, press the red button on the inside of the case to begin recording and press pause when the meeting is complete. The audio is stored directly on the earbuds, but you can also view the transcribed text live on the viaim app (free with up to 600 minutes of transcription per month). The pickup range is up to 23 feet, which is ideal for capturing sound in small or medium-size conference rooms if you're meeting in an office. For phone and video calls, the earbuds' 48dB noise reduction helps minimize distractions—especially if you're working in a loud public setting or you're in transit (select from three noise-cancellation modes, depending on your environment). Plus, if you like to think out loud in between meetings, you can use the earbuds to self-record and store your insights for future use. Not only do the RecDot AI earbuds sync seamlessly with your laptop, tablet or smartphone via Bluetooth, but you can connect them to two devices at once for multiscreen efficiency and to ensure you can view the transcript in both places later. To connect to a device for the first time, place both earbuds in the case, slide it open and long-press the multifunction button on the rear of the case until the indicator light flashes. If you need to switch off between devices, you can do so manually or enable automatic switching. Whether you're a journalist conducting an interview with someone who speaks a different language or a professional who works with people across the globe, the viaim RecDot AI earbuds' translation capability can be a useful tool in breaking down language barriers. The earbuds can currently live-translate audio from 15 languages, which appear as live English subtitles in the viaim app (options include Mandarin, Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Arabic and more). The device can also distinguish between individual speakers, assigning blocks of text to each person so it's very clear who said what during the session. Once you've recorded a meeting, interview or presentation, you can use the earbuds' AI-powered Meeting Assistant to simplify next steps. This tool analyzes the transcript, extracting key points to create a concise summary and generate a straightforward to-do list in seconds. If you're a student, the Meeting Assistant can help consolidate long lectures into the key learnings you need to complete your assignments. The RecDot AI earbuds take only 40 minutes to fully charge in the carrying case (if you're in a rush, you can charge for 20 minutes to reach 70% battery, which enables up to six hours of use). After a full charge, they'll last nine hours out of the case and up to 36 hours in the case. The earbuds come with both a charging cable and USB-C cable. The viaim RecDot AI earbuds last 9 hours out of the case on a single charge. viaim While they're a relatively new technology, a handful of companies have released iterations of AI earbuds. These devices convert audio and live speech into text—translating it into the user's target language if needed—to enable cross-language communication and instant transcription. AI earbuds can be a useful tool for professionals attending meetings or conferences or conducting interviews, as well as students who are looking to record lectures and class discussions. AI earbuds work by using a microphone to capture speech, which is then converted into a digital signal in the form of an audio wave. AI processes these files through a large language model, converting the audio from speech to text, also known as transcription. The text file can then be translated into a number of other languages. Some AI earbuds, like the viaim RecDot, can also analyze, summarize and distill lengthy transcriptions into summaries and actionable to-do lists.
