 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 WT2 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 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? Rose wills orbit z1 mid-tower case is RGB ready It's got fans seven color LED light strips and top IO light control learn more at the link below So unboxing wise this is pretty straightforward. There's not a lot included um 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 Silicone ear tip pieces, so hopefully they'll be slightly less uncomfortable Let's really don't go on there that easily All right there you 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 it. 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 blah blah blah Hey All right rock on so now we're connected 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 Hug the child, I'm much better 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 love it 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 wears the master and the other one wears the slave Which is a little awkward? But you don't understand what I'm saying anyway, right? No English. That's why I'm trying. Can you hold it? Please? This is Dennis acting man. 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 Thank you, but you look terrible. Okay. Hold on What do you mean? I look terrible I don't speak English. I haven't spoken to a white man I can't speak English. I didn't speak to a white man I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I can't speak English. I didn't speak to a white man 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 You speak better. This time you speak better. I'm happy. I know. You're right. I like it Thank you. I love you Thank you. I love you 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 So, um, 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 What do you spend one time? One time. One. I am so nervous 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'm a little more comfortable. No, no, we're both gonna be comfortable That's the idea. Look how comfortable you feel right now I want to drink pearl milk tea. I like pearls Are you sure you wouldn't have to have something a little stronger? What? I'll tell you what dad has Something a little stronger no, it's cool baby. My dad wants to be involved too Okay, okay, you know what no no 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 No, okay. Well, I wasn't gonna have success with that either way Did anything that I was saying make sense in Chinese or were you just cheating because you actually understand me? I would say only 10 to 20 percent of the sentence I'll translate correctly and Every time you say take me home. Let's go home together. It translate quite well. So you get 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 Oh, you get to touch my ear That's the first base 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 Ni hao No English Massdrop 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 new standard in entry-level DACs The product is designed with the objectivist audio file in mind So it's meant to deliver good performance that meets or exceeds the measurements of the popular ODAQ It's equipped with the new AKM AK4452 digital to analog conversion chip Allowing it to process the most common file types up to 24-bit 96 kilohertz with no harshness or edge It runs off of USB bus power with simple plug-and-play operation that means no drivers are needed for Windows Mac or Linux It's compact and it's available on Massdrop through the link below for just 80 US dollars All right, so thanks for watching guys Thank you Dennis for being a good sport about trying out the translator here If you guys dislike this video you can hit that button But if you liked it hit the like button get subscribed maybe consider checking out Well, it's it's nowhere near primetime ready as you guys can see but the concept is pretty cool So it's probably coming at some point you can check out a link to it in the video description Also down there we've got our merch store where you can buy cool shirts like this one and our community forum Which you should totally join Okay Come on Okay, there we go Okay, now we're done
