so every once in a while an email lands in my inbox from a weird overseas company that isn't about yet another battery bank and this one oh this one caught my attention this is the WT - a real-time translating earphone the pitch and their included video suggests that you just take one of these Twinkie bad boys jam it into your ear canal find a friend who doesn't speak the same language as you and Jam the other one in theirs and you can talk to each other with real-time translation but could it work Roseville's orbit z1 mid tower case is RGB ready it's got fans seven color LED light strips and top iolite control learn more at the link below so unboxing wise this is pretty straightforward there's not a lot included no manuals no no like actual production hardware they made it really clear to us this is early software early hardware in fact they sent us to one of which is actually fully 3d printed so let's have a look at what we got there's a micro USB charging cable so that goes into the outside of the magnetic box that holds here we go so this passes the charging over to the other side and then it comes with a couple of these little silicon ear tip pieces so hopefully they'll be slightly less uncomfortable let's really don't go on there that easily all right there we go come on okay you have got to be kidding me okay here's a design flaw for you guys already you have to go through that every time you charge it you have to take this off to put oh why did I take it off there's not really a whole lot to the Twinkies so there's the charging contacts on the inside there's a microphone hole on this side there's a little what looks like kind of like a whatsapp logo that illuminates either blue when it's pairing or green once it's paired and then that also acts as a capacitive button next order of business we need the app which is only available for iOS at this time there's no Android version so once we've done just a normal bluetooth pairing process hey all right rock on so now we're connected it goes like that yeah there we go and it kind of sits in your ear like like one of those douchey Bluetooth headsets from the early 2000s and there's two modes so ask mode hit the microphone okay I am now saying something oh I think you hold it down I am saying something now a baby holding down I'm better now well that was very close to my intent okay I need someone who actually speaks Chinese or this is not gonna go anywhere I'll be right back okay so Dennis for the sake of this video can you pretend you don't speak any English perfect I brought Dennis here for the chat mode so that's a different mode chat mode is the real-time translation that really got my attention in their original email so there's two modes one of us where's the master and the other one where's the slave which is a little awkward but you don't understand what I'm saying anyway right no English [Laughter] he's too good he's too good so let's try let's try to have a conversation hello you seem like a very nice person I would like to be your friend see ya that's the cantina and Campu thank you but you look terrible okay hold on what do you mean I look terrible walk away down in one walk make violence all go far well one thing is for certain this does seem to be working fairly well I'm glad I know what you truly think about me sis yeah well I mean okay so now I'm actually not very certain if it's working properly okay okay let's try one more scenario before we give up okay I got another scenario so we've already seen that it's pretty good for like you know trying to pick someone up so let's see if it works a little better for that okay hey there sexy I would like to spend some time with you tonight remember first rule of improv is you can never say no why he didn't toss em all y'all , she did well how did down oh I'm a little nervous too baby I've never done anything like this before I say we get out of this place and go find somewhere a little more comfortable I favor get out of this place and you'll find I feel this more comfortable oh no we're both gonna be comfortable that's the idea look how comfortable you feel right now watch on Yahoo you heard done tonight ha wash your hands and do so fool are you sure you wouldn't rather have something a little stronger dad something a little stronger no it's cool baby my dad wants to be involved too okay okay you know what not just okay just did that make any sense in Chinese I would rather just learn to speak English or just use body language well I guess with the picking up sort of example the body language could be a you know very yeah no okay well I wasn't gonna have success with that either way did anything that I was saying makes sense in Chinese or were you just cheating because you actually understand me I would say only 10 to 20 percent of the sentence out translate correctly and every time you say take me home let's go home together they translate quite well so I got that right at least so like what base is this you know second base is you know grabbing the breasts I mean when I come and stick something in your ear hole you get to touch my ear that's Dennis's first base okay the wt2 not quite ready for primetime still some challenges even with the base concept because I think carrying something like this around being like hey brother from another country can you just wedge this thing in your ear and then maybe we could talk to each other doesn't seem since you have to have a phone with you anyway like it's any more efficient than just using Google Translate or just use your hands Nihao thanks yeah no English master op is featuring a new product the grace standard DAC it's made in collaboration with grace design and the standard DAC is all about setting a
