I want my old Walkman back.
Saw fancy urinals, then read the title.
I was not sure at first what kind of new sex toy I was looking at, but fancy urinals definitely is a winner.
I imagine the Apple marketing team are still slapping themselves silly over the fact that they can sell such a cheaply manufactured product for such an inflated price. Those little earbuds are like life-saving prescription medicine. Whereas my earphones come from the dollar store.
The base AirPods are really good sounding though. It’s annoying because I was planning to return them when they didn’t stay in my wife’s ears well, but ended up keeping them for myself.
Thankfully I was brought into loving music with the scratches, hisses, and pops of old 45 records. I can save a bit of money because I can overlook a lot, with respect to audio quality. I have listened to superior sound quality so I understand what you mean.
“The headphones also support Camera Remote” I just want a microphone mute button… that legit is the only thing needed from my AirPod Maxes today, crazy to add all sorts of other stuff but not a microphone button. I wear these all day at work, microphone mute button to press while I walk around would be perfect.
The headphones come with Live Translation
Do they really? Or do they just play audio from an app on your phone, like any other pair of BT headphones?
I wish, here:
Another notable addition in AirPods Max 2 is live language translation, a feature powered by artificial intelligence and designed to work along with compatible iPhones and other Apple devices. When activated, the headphones can translate conversations in real time, delivering translated speech directly through the ear cups.
Do those actually use phone hardware? Or is all the work done on a server?
It’s all done on device and works even if you’re offline.
To use Live Translation, you need to download the language the other person is speaking and the language you’d like to translate it to. Once the language models have been downloaded, all processing takes place on your iPhone, where all of your conversation data remains private.
I don’t think I’ve tro d the very latest Google version of this, but when I did not too long ago it was too clunky and innacurate to actually use in a convenient way. I like the idea of it of course, but I have yet to see a usable version that works well. Maybe apple does a better job with it, but I’m skeptical.
