Razer has had a crazy idea and that is to put AI cameras in headphones. I have tried them and they have given me something to think about.

by

Project Motoko. I like to think it’s a reference to Motoko Kusanagi, the protagonist of ‘Ghost in the Shell‘, but in any case, that is the name given to Razer’s new concept. Indeed, they are headphones with two cameras and artificial intelligence whose proposal is quite interesting: what if, instead of smart glassesShould we wear smart headphones? The company has taken advantage of the MWC 2026 that took place these days in Barcelona to show them and I have had the opportunity to get my hands on them at the Qualcomm stand (we will see why later). At the moment, the prototype, because that’s what it is, a prototype, has certain rough edges to iron out, but I really liked the underlying idea. Let’s go in parts. Project Motoko by Razer | Image: Xataka The background idea. As is obvious in the photos, I wear glasses. Normal glasses, although prescription ones. If I wanted to use connected glasses I would have to change my glasses and buy a frame, which is not cheap, in addition to prescription lenses. Well, like me, half of the world’s population. That is to say, smart glasses have a small penetration problem: They have to convince glasses wearers to change their glasses. They have to convince those who don’t wear glasses to wear glasses. Razer’s idea. It may be easier to convince the user to use smart headphones instead of glasses. These devices are agnostic about whether people see better or worse and, in reality, they can offer a similar and even better experience in certain aspects, because being larger they can offer more autonomy and power. Currently, the Meta Ray-Ban 2 They move in the eight-hour range, for example. This is what the Project Motoko prototype looks like | Image: Xataka The trade-off, of course, is wearing big headphones all day. They are less concealed and you are not going to wear them at important moments in your life (or yes, we listen but we do not judge). Be that as it may, the glasses have an advantage there, but that does not make Razer’s proposal make any less sense and may even have a fit not in gaming or in everyday life, but in terms of accessibility. What is this about?. Project Motoko are over-ear headphones (quite comfortable, I must add) with two 12-megapixel wide-angle cameras at eye level, one on each side, and several far- and near-field microphones. It’s like having a pair of eyes connected to AI that see what we see. The experience will obviously vary depending on whether we are paid or free users of chatbots. Instead of using proprietary AI, the device can connect to all platforms, namely Grok, ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and even Perplexity. Part of the process is done in the cloud, but thanks to an undetermined (for now) Qualcomm chip, there will also be local processing capabilities for certain commands. The cameras are at eye level | Image: Xataka The operation is simple. You look at something, say a restaurant menu; You ask the AI ​​something out loud and it answers you. During the demo we asked the headset if an ingredient on a table was suitable for lactose intolerant people, and even what we could make with the objects in our inventory in ‘Minecraft’, and it responded without problems. It also recognized buildings, places and text, translating a Japanese menu and giving us recommendations based on our preferences. The prototype is still missing, but it works, it works. Razer is still ironing out some connectivity and interaction issues, but the company is positive that they will release it at some point. They are not clear when, but the product is moving in the right direction, as explained by Razer. Detail of the position of the camera and microphones | Image: Xataka The rough edges. The demo had some flaws, such as the headphones were not capable of recording live video and did not capture the image if we did not ask them to, let me explain. To generate a recipe with the ingredients on a table, you had to expressly tell it to take a photo and then the command. That is not natural language. It is not natural to say “take a photo and tell me yes”, but a normal interaction would be “hey, what can I do with this?” The idea is that we invoke the AI ​​using a button located on the headphones, so it would make sense that, in a final product, when you press that button the headphones begin to record the live image. Not a static one, but a video feed like Gemini Live does. And in that sense, the warning for third parties that they are being recorded with the headphones is not defined at the moment either. A white light turns on in Meta’s glasses when you record, for example. In any case, it doesn’t seem like something that can’t be fixed via software for a final product. The release date is not confirmed, nor is the price. Project Motoko | Image: Xataka Maybe the chicha is not in everyday life. Although it is tempting to think of a companion product for everyday use, especially if you work with headphones or usually wear them on the street (not my case), where I think Project Motoko could have a huge impact is in two areas: video generation to train humanoid robots and accessibility. On the one hand, headphones capture what we see (more, in fact, as they have a greater field of vision), so by recording how a manual industrial process is carried out, the necessary resources could be generated to train machine learning algorithms focused on robots. After all, an AI learns by watching the same action thousands, millions of times, but for that to be possible it has to have videos, many very specific videos which, of course, are not abundant. On the other hand, people with vision problems have a powerful ally in … Read more

assault in sound quality and for being the most comfortable headphones

by

Now that Samsung has finally announced the new generation of its headphones, what better way to explore what they offer than to compare them with models from other brands. Are they better than Apple’s? To do this, in this article we are going to put the Samsung Galaxy Buds4 with AirPods Pro 3. The differences between the Samsung Galaxy Buds4 and the AirPods Pro 3 The design, which one do you prefer? It is evident that one of the most important points when using headphones is the design. The Samsung Galaxy Buds4 they have a open, padless design while the AirPods Pro 3 They come with a set of five pads. And this may interest you a lot when buying headphones or others. Each person is different and headphones may be good for one person, but not for you. The good thing about AirPods is that with the pads you can customize the headphones so they fit better in your ears. Samsung does not allow this as it has an open design and no pads, so in the worst case you could feel some discomfort if they are too big for you or they simply fall off when walking, running or exercising. Best for lossless audio The AirPods Pro 3 may be the perfect headphones for an Apple user, but not everything is pretty: the headphones support the AAC codec (256 kbps), so if you use platforms that offer ‘Lossless’ sound quality you will not be able to have the best possible experience. Things change with the Samsung Galaxy Buds4 that support the codec SSC-UHQ (24-bit / 96 kHz). In this case you can take advantage of the ‘Lossless’ quality offered by many platforms such as Tidal or Spotify. If you are looking for the best possible sound quality, these are the ones that may interest you the most. Samsung wins in autonomy, but with nuances Both the Samsung Galaxy Buds4 and the AirPods Pro 3 offer good autonomy, up to 30 hours for the former and up to 24 hours for the latter. But if we remove the charging case from each one, things change. If you have active noise cancellation on, the Samsung headphones will last you just under five hours, while with the Apple headphones almost you will be able to last almost an entire day of eight hours of work. This is not to say that Samsung headphones are worse. Simply you have to take into account when you are going to use them: If it is for training or listening to music for a few hours, Samsung headphones may suit you well. If you listen to music for many hours to work, Apple headphones win here. What happens if my headphones get wet? Although it is always better to avoid water to ensure proper functionality of the headphones, both the Galaxy Buds4 and the AirPods Pro 3 are water resistant, although not in the same way. Resistances are usually measured by the degree of IP certificationand in this case the headphones come with: IP54 certification on the Samsung Galaxy Buds4: protection against water jets. IP57 certification on AirPods Pro 3: protection against complete immersion in water at a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes. In any case, both headphones are durable enough to function properly when used while exercising or in the rain. In the event that, for example, they fall into a puddle of water or into the bathtub, the AirPods Pro 3 are protected for these situations. A little extra that can change your choice Although it is something that we can find in other devices such as smartwatches, it is worth mentioning that the AirPods Pro 3 have a sensor that we do not see in Samsung headphones: the heart rate sensor. It is not a simple addition that we are going to avoid because we already have a watch, since there is a good reason why Apple has decided to introduce it in headphones. Beyond the reliability provided by sensors in devices such as smartwatches, it is medically more reliable for a device to take vital signs from the ear than from the wrist. If you exercise and are looking for greater control over the measurements, this AirPods sensor may interest you. In summary: which Bluetooth headphones to choose according to your tastes and needs Why choose the Samsung Galaxy Buds4 The Samsung Galaxy Buds4 arrive in style, offering a very competitive price. Where they stand out the most is in: Your SSC-UHQ codec. If you are going to use them to listen to music on platforms that offer ‘Lossless’ quality, these are the ones we recommend. If you listen to music sporadically. The headphones alone have less autonomy than Apple’s, but with the charging case they get a higher figure. If you use them for sessions of no more than four and a half hours, these are the ones that may interest you. If you want the cheapest. It is inevitable to compare prices on these headphones, so if you want to spend as little as possible, the difference of 70 euros is quite attractive. The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Why choose AirPods Pro 3 The AirPods Pro 3 were launched a few months ago and continue to be one of the best purchase options in their price range. Where they stand out the most is in: The design. That it includes five pads is something very interesting if you don’t know very well how they are going to fit in your ears. With them, you can adapt the headphones so that they do not move, something especially interesting when walking, running or exercising. Your autonomy. The autonomy of the headphones (without charging case) reaches eight hours, so if you listen to music while you work, these are the ones that may interest you the most. Better water resistance.

I have tried the Huawei FreeClip 2, headphones with a still strange shape but surprising comfort

by

I’ve been using the Huawei FreeClip 2 for a couple of weeks. I put them on out of work obligation, but since then they have spent more time in my ears than I thought they would. That says quite a bit about these headphones. But, as almost always in life, there are asterisks.

We earn commission from these links Design with personality and that requires personality The design, officially “C cross-bridge design” and unofficially “two pairs of cherries”they no longer feel like as risky a bet as they did in their first version. That first generation It made me ask a legitimate question.: Who is going to want to wear spheres hanging from a cable over their ear? This is how they will see you with them. Image: Xataka. Two and a half years later, after a wave of imitators of the format, it seems that the market has responded: people do want this. I personally still have my reservations: I don’t go through life hiding, but Yes, I like to go unnoticed, and with these headphones in my ears it is complicated. There is some look from someone who wonders if that is an earphone, a modern hearing aid, a piercing or what. Huawei has reduced the weight to 5.1 grams per earbud. The bridge that connects both parts uses liquid silicone with shape memory. And the tension is just right: they don’t press, they don’t slip. I have bent down to pick things up from the floor, I have run with them and I have spent long periods of time cleaning the house with them in my ears. They usually don’t move. But there is some ‘but’: Sometimes, for some reason (I guess we all have different ears), my left one would slip a little and I would have to adjust it. Are you going to wear a hood? Problem. Will you take off your sweatshirt? Problem. These helmets are not designed to stay there with that type of friction. Running with them is acceptable, but it is clearly not their ideal use, and in fact I did not feel like repeating the play. By the way, these headphones, like those of their first generation, They are exactly the same as each other, there is no left and right model.so it doesn’t matter how you put them on or how you store them in the case. That’s where the sound comes out to your ear. Image: Xataka. Open-ear comfort always sounded like an empty promise until now. These headphones fulfill it because they simply disappear. You really forget you’re wearing them. After hours with them I suddenly realized that they are still there. That’s how well they integrate, that’s how little they bother you. The sound, without any big fuss, it fulfills for the day to day, without further ado. The bass has presence thanks to a drivers 10.8 mm double diaphragm. They do not give the punch of closed headphones, but for an open design it seems acceptable to me. Voices over the phone remain clear, but the treble at high volumes sounds a bit sharp. With the ten-band equalizer you can do something. In short: they deliver, but no one expects miracles in detail and dynamics. The application to customize them and access some advanced features. Image: Xataka. What surprised me the most is controlling sound leakage at moderate volumes. Huawei incorporates a system that emits waves in inverted phase to cancel escaping audio. That is, the noise cancellation system, but towards the outside instead of inward. It works reasonably but not impressively. I listen to something with my wife and, if it is not at high volume, she assures me that she does not hear anything. I pass them on to her and confirm it. If I decide to increase the volume to around 80%, there is an obvious leak. I didn’t try the first FreeClipbut I remember seeing some complaints on this point. The problem has not disappeared but I think it has lessened. The battery is one of its strong points. Lasts up to nine hours of continuous real use. Seven or so most of the time. With the case you can chain charges up to about 38 hours in total. Very good figures for those who travel or spend the day working outside. Fast charging is another detail: ten minutes in the socket gives you three hours of autonomy. A unique appearance. Image: Xataka. The touch controls work on the cable that joins both parts. At first I didn’t understand why a natural gesture produced certain behaviors. Then I failed several attempts because I forgot where that wire was exactly. Afterwards you get used to it, but it is not a perfect system, it is not completely reliable because it requires a lot of precision. Swiping your finger on the … Read more

headphones that sit behind the ears

by

OpenAI has confirmed that it will launch its first physical device in the second half of this year. Chris Lehane, head of global affairs for the company, announced it at the World Economic Forum in Davos as one of the “top priorities” of the year. The leaks they point to headphones codenamed “Sweetpea.” Foxconn will manufacture them in Vietnam. The sales goal for the first year is quite ambitious: between 40 and 50 million units, approximately. half of the AirPods that Apple sells at the end of the year. Why is it important. OpenAI has more than 800 million weekly ChatGPT users, but relies on third-party devices and platforms to reach them. With their own hardware, they begin to control the entire chain: development, distribution and user experience. It is also a play against Apple. AirPods dominate the wireless headphone market followed by Xiaomi, and now OpenAI enters its field with a proposal based on conversational AI and cloud processing. The audio would be only part of the product, the difference is in the integrated conversational intelligence. The design. The headphones will have a different shape than conventional models. According to leaks from Economic Daily News (UDN)they will be placed behind the ears, closer to what we usually see in headphones than in AirPods-style headphones. The charging case will be shaped like a smooth stone and will house two metal capsules. All this according to the first leaks: it is confirmed that the OpenAI device will arrive, the details are not yet. Jony Ive, the former Apple design chief whose company acquired OpenAI in 2024, is supervising the project. His presence raises expectations regarding the aesthetics of these headphones: Ive was the father of many of Apple’s iconic designs during the first decade of this century. The technology. The headset will use a 2-nanometer chip for basic local processing (the simplest queries), but most of the AI ​​work will be done in the cloud, following the usual OpenAI model. There will be adapted language models that will work on the device for light tasks and more complex ones will require an Internet connection and will run on OpenAI servers. Between the lines. OpenAI initially ruled out Luxshare as a manufacturer due to its location in China. The decision to produce in Vietnam seeks to avoid suspicions in the United States and avoid tariff problems. Yes, but. The history of native AI devices is full of failures: He Humane AI Pin It ended up being sold to HP and its owners were left with a paperweight. He Rabbit R1 It had a lot of initial hype but was soon forgotten. Replacing headphones that people already use daily requires a brutal value proposition, and without deep integration with iOS or Android, the device will have to prove that it justifies changing ecosystems. Nothing launched a headset with ChatGPT integration a while ago and beyond the initial hype, they have not shown any signs of being a special success either. Smart glasses have a similar approach and being able to use them to take photos and videos at any time without using your hands is winning them over. In Xataka | ChatGPT has been a tool. If you start remembering all our conversations, it’s going to be something else: a relationship. Featured image | Dima Solomin, Hostaphoto
