OSO AI Earbuds

OSO pitches its AI Earbuds as a productivity tool first and a pair of earbuds second. According to the maker, they can record meetings, phone calls, Zoom sessions and podcasts, transcribe them in real time, and then use AI to pull out key points and suggest next action steps. The intended scenarios range from remote work and presentations to entertainment.

Audio and fit

On the hardware side, the maker lists a 12.6mm dynamic driver tuned for rich bass, Bluetooth 5.2 with A2DP support, and real-time EQ adjustment. A semi-in-ear design is meant to keep the earbuds comfortable over long sessions.

Transcription, summaries and AI plans

The maker says real-time transcription covers more than 40 languages, including English. AI features are split across two tiers: an OSO Foundation AI plan that connects with basic assistants such as Siri and Google Assistant, and a Premium AI plan that draws on recorded conversation data to give personalized answers, such as specific advice based on past conversations.

Battery, charging pod and cloud

• 6 hours of continuous playback from the earbuds alone, according to the maker
• 21 hours total with the charging case
• Optional charging pod with a smart screen for music and recording controls, which the maker says improves charging efficiency by 250%
• OSO cloud service for centralized, secure storage of recordings and conversation data
• AI templates to turn conversations into emails, newsletters and social media posts

Taken together, OSO is betting that recording, transcription and cloud-based organization belong in the same device you already wear for calls and music. How well that works in practice, and what the AI plans involve, are details the source material leaves open.
