Sony has unveiled its new Smart Headphones, a breakthrough audio device that brings real-time voice translation directly to users’ ears. The headphones combine high-quality sound with an advanced built-in translator, allowing people to understand conversations in different languages without needing a separate app or phone.

The device uses Sony’s latest speech recognition and AI translation technology. It listens to spoken words and instantly delivers clear, accurate translations through the earpieces. This feature works offline, so travelers can use it anywhere, even without internet access.
Sony designed the headphones for comfort during long wear. They fit securely and include noise-canceling tech to block out background sounds. Users can switch between translation mode and regular music playback with a simple tap. Battery life lasts up to 20 hours, making them suitable for full-day use.
The headphones support over 40 languages, including widely spoken ones like English, Spanish, Mandarin, and French. Translation happens in under a second, keeping conversations smooth and natural. Sony tested the system in real-world settings such as airports, hotels, and street markets to ensure reliability.
Privacy was a key focus during development. All voice processing happens on the device itself. No recordings are sent to the cloud unless the user chooses to connect online for updates. This local processing helps protect personal conversations from being stored or shared.

Sony plans to release the Smart Headphones globally this fall. They will be available through major electronics retailers and Sony’s official website. The company expects strong interest from frequent travelers, business professionals, and language learners. Early units will ship in black and silver color options. Pre-orders start next month.
