Acer Introduces AI-Powered TransBuds Ear-Hook Earphones at Computex 2025

Acer Unveils AI TransBuds with Ear-Hook Design and Real-Time Translation at Computex 2025

At Computex 2025, Acer introduced its latest innovation in audio technology — the AI TransBuds true wireless stereo (TWS) earphones. Alongside other new products like the Acer FreeSense Ring and a range of e-mobility solutions including e-scooters and e-bikes, the AI TransBuds stood out with their distinctive ear-hook design and sleek black finish. Designed to enhance communication, these earphones come equipped with AI-powered live translation capabilities supporting 15 major languages spoken across Asia, the Americas, and Europe. While Acer has revealed many features, the exact launch date and availability remain undisclosed.

The AI TransBuds are designed to be lightweight and compact, crafted from durable ABS plastic. Each earbud measures approximately 16.5×37.7×42.5mm, fitting comfortably with a secure ear-hook form factor. The charging case, which houses both earbuds, weighs 65.1 grams and measures 74.9×59.5×29.2mm, making it portable and easy to carry. Connectivity is facilitated through Bluetooth 5.4, and the earphones come with a plug-in receiver for seamless pairing with smartphones or tablets.

One of the standout features of the Acer AI TransBuds is their AI-backed real-time, two-way voice translation. This functionality uses advanced speech recognition and semantic analysis to provide accurate translations during live conversations. For optimal performance, only one person in the conversation needs to wear the earbuds, which also support live captioning and transcription. This makes them ideal for a variety of settings, including casual conversations, business meetings, online study sessions, and livestreams. Additionally, users can review and revisit multilingual conversations later thanks to the transcription feature.

Supporting 15 languages including Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and more, Acer’s AI TransBuds aim to break down language barriers in real time. Each earbud houses a 50mAh battery, while the charging case contains a 400mAh cell and charges via USB Type-C. With their innovative design and intelligent translation features, the AI TransBuds represent Acer’s commitment to blending cutting-edge AI with practical, everyday tech solutions for global users.
