"Earbuds aren't all about playing the best music, anymore. Productivity-minded earbuds are a thing -- sacrificing some audio quality for rich integrations with videoconferencing software or AI-powered transcription features. I recently reviewed another pair like this: the Epos Adapt E1 earbuds, which are optimized for video calls, and I praised their handy gestures. But the latest productivity pair I've been using is the , a pair specifically designed for work to transcribe and summarize calls."
"The earbuds themselves are feature 13mm dynamic drivers, a dual beamforming microphone, and support for Bluetooth 5.2. Physically, the plastic case and shiny earbuds don't exactly scream premium, but they don't feel low-end, either. The case has something unique though: a touchscreen display. Tapping the display shows the time and date, and swiping through the screens shows a host of different features and settings."
Productivity-focused earbuds trade some audio quality for integrations with videoconferencing software and AI transcription. One example optimized for video calls is the Epos Adapt E1 with gesture controls. A newer pair targets work use by transcribing and summarizing calls. Oso's earbuds are powered by GPT-5 to record, transcribe, summarize, and translate meetings, phone calls, and face-to-face conversations through Laxis' AI meeting notetaker. The earbuds include 13mm dynamic drivers, a dual beamforming microphone, and Bluetooth 5.2 support. The charging case features a touchscreen display that shows time, settings, and individual battery percentages and can animate a face; the touchscreen can also cause accidental menu activations or setting changes.
