It's so magical when headphones come with AI, review of iFLYBUDS Nano+, recording and noise-cancelling conference headphones

With the popularity of ChatGPT, people have truly realized the power of AI capabilities, but when it comes to AI, China is actually doing very well in many fields, and it has been applied in some products we use daily. Today I want to say The iFLYBUDS Nano recording and noise-cancelling conference headphones are a typical example. They can use AI improvements to free our hands in some scenarios that require information recording, effectively improving office efficiency.

So what is the difference between iFLYBUDS Nano recording and noise-canceling conference headphones? As a conference headset, what are its basic qualities? Based on a period of experience, this article will talk to you about the Yanshan School in detail.

The appearance is unique, but it has a family design concept

Most smart earphones use a flip-up battery box design. When you open the lid, the earphones are only slightly exposed, so sometimes it is not easy to take out the earphones. The headphone box of iFLYBUDS Nano recording and noise-cancelling conference headphones continues the family-style design concept of iFLYBUDS Pro and adopts a sliding cover design.

Square with a circle, like a pebble-shaped jewelry box. iFLYBUDS Nano comes in two colors: luminous silver and luminous green. This time we got the luminous green model, which has a matte texture on the surface and is low-key yet agile.

The most important thing is that the sliding cover design can present the entire headset in front of you after opening the compartment cover. Not only does the sliding cover operation have a more ceremonial feel, but it also makes it easier to pick up and place the headset, making it easier to place orders in many scenarios. The operation of picking up and placing the earphones can be completed by hand, which is indeed an advantage compared to the clamshell design.

iFLYBUDS Nano The headphone box has an LED indicator light on the front and a Type-C interface on the back. The adapter button is designed in the middle of the two headphones inside the box. The headphone box cover and the headphone stems of the two headphones are designed with laser-engraved LOGO.

iFLYBUDS Nano The oblate headphone stems are designed with a grooved touch area on the outside for easy touch operation. Compared with the dual-mic design of general smart headphones, each iFLYBUDS Nano headphone is designed with three mics. They are the feed-back Mic on the inside of the earphones, the feed-forward Mic on the upper end of the earphone stem, and the call Mic on the bottom of the earphone stem. The three-mic design can bring better noise reduction and sound pickup effects, and can reduce iFLYBUDS Nano’s recording and environmental noise. And the hardware foundation has been laid for call noise reduction.

In order to better match the ear canals of different people, iFLYBUDS Nano provides four sets of earphone soft plugs, XS, S, M, and L. There is always a set that can meet our ear canals and give us a comfortable wearing experience. Overall, the design of iFLYBUDS Nano is not only stylish, but also thoughtful, good-looking, and easier to use.

What difference does AI bring? What functions does recording and transcription support?

With the support of AI capabilities, iFLYBUDS Nano recording and noise-cancelling conference headphones realize recording and real-time transcription functions, and have productivity attributes. This is the core difference between iFLYBUDS Nano and other headphones.

Install iFLYBUDS APP on your mobile phone, and after completing the connection between your mobile phone and iFLYBUDS Nano, you can control it (iPhone, Android, and Hongmeng mobile phones are all supported). Connection management, sound effects, noise reduction mode, and game mode can all be operated here. The biggest difference from ordinary headphones is that there is a recording button at the bottom of the APP page.

Click this recording button to turn on the recording function of iFLYBUDS Nano. In order to achieve better recording and transcription effects, it also supports three modes: call recording, audio/video recording, and field recording. Needless to say, on-site recording. When we need to record some information during a conference call, video conference, or call, we can use the call recording mode; if we are checking audio and video materials, we can use the audio/video recording mode. Among them, iFLYBUDS Nano also supports conference calls, regular calls, WeChat, Tencent Conference, DingTalk Voice, Feishu Conference, ZOOM, Teams and other mainstream conferences, audio and video calling APPs and even computer conferences.

Of course, we have also conducted actual tests. No matter which mode, the recording effect of iFLYBUDS Nano is very clear, and it can complete simultaneous transcription while recording. The recording and transcription maintains the consistently high level of iFlytek's similar products. . In the field recording test, even if they are 7 meters apart, they can record clearly and accurately transcribe.

It is worth mentioning that iFLYBUDS Nano not only supports 9 languages: Mandarin, English, Japanese, Korean, Russian, French, Spanish, German, and Italian, but also supports a mixture of Chinese and English. In actual testing The accuracy of the mixed English transliteration is also very high, which is really useful for people like me who are not good at English. In addition to Mandarin, it also supports 12 dialects such as Henan, Hebei, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Chongqing, Tianjin, Northeastern, Shandong, Gansu, Taiyuan, and Cantonese, and integrates 10 professional terms including general, legal, education, finance, medical, technology, government, enterprise, e-commerce, and daily life. Even if we communicate with foreign customers, or communicate in dialects, and talk about some professional matters, the transcription effect of iFLYBUDS Nano is guaranteed, which further enhances its attributes as a productivity tool.

When you see the picture above, you may be curious, how can the speaker be distinguished in the transcribed content? Did you sort it out yourself later? Of course not, it’s all done by iFLYBUDS Nano itself, because it supports voiceprint recognition, can automatically distinguish speakers, and supports three recording modes. This will make our meeting minutes collection faster during multi-person meetings. . Moreover, iFLYBUDS Nano has also added the function of VIAIM AI, an AI-generated conference assistant developed by Future Intelligence. Through VIAIM AI, it can realize the functions of to-do item extraction and summary summary extraction, which is equivalent to the "super brain" of us professionals.

All recorded and transcribed content can be stored not only on the mobile phone, but also in the cloud. It can be viewed through mobile phones, tablets, and computers. It can also be edited on the computer, and the edited content can be updated simultaneously to Mobile and cloud. These recordings and transcribed contents can also be exported, shared or emailed. Once the data is sorted out, they can be sent to leaders or colleagues at will, with online efficiency. As for cloud storage space, iFlytek provides 6,000 minutes of free storage capacity for each user account, which is 100 hours. This is very kind. Of course, if you feel that these 100 hours are not enough, you can also pay for expansion. , for the Yanshan School, these 100 hours are definitely enough. Moreover, iFLYBUDS Nano also has the function of encrypting transcription records, and each record is encrypted and protected at all levels, with exclusive permissions, so you don’t have to worry about information security.

What should I do if I want to urgently record/transcribe?

In some office or daily situations, you will indeed encounter some scenes that require quick recording. In order to cope with these emergency recording scenes, iFLYBUDS Nano also applies two specialized designs, flash recording and widget functions.

iFLYBUDS Nano Both earphones have built-in storage space to support call flash recording. Each earphone is equipped with an independent storage space, which is equivalent to a small USB flash drive. Both can store about 2 hours of recording, and the two earphones can relay. Recording, when the recording memory of one earphone is full, the earphone will play a prompt tone. At this time, you only need to press and hold the other earphone to record. In this case, when you encounter an unexpected conference call, you only need to press and hold the touch button on the headset handle to start recording immediately, and you don’t have to worry about interference from the Bluetooth connection and the recording will be transferred to the mobile phone, because the recording will be saved locally on the headset. After the meeting is over, open the mobile APP, and the recording will be automatically uploaded to the mobile phone for transcription. It has to be said that in some emergency moments, this function is extremely urgent.

As for widgets, it’s easy to understand. We can add the iFLYBUDS APP widget directly to the bottom screen of the phone, so that we can quickly record without opening the APP.

How is the sound quality and noise reduction effect?

Let’s briefly talk about these two points. First, let’s talk about sound quality. iFLYBUDS Nano uses a 10mm large vibration unit. The quality of the hardware determines the three-band balance. In terms of software, it has 22 official sound effect settings, including balance, bass enhancement, treble enhancement, bright female voice, rich male voice, bass reduction... and supports custom adjustment of an 8-band equalizer, allowing you to combine countless sound effects at will. In actual testing, the overall performance has reached the level expected of headphones at this price, and the sound quality experience has not been lost due to AI capabilities and recording and transcription functions.

As for noise reduction, iFLYBUDS Nano supports three modes: noise reduction, transparency and off. The noise reduction mode has a noise reduction depth of up to 45 dB. Yanshanpai went to the vegetable market in front of his home to try it out , after turning on noise reduction, the surroundings feel instantly quiet, and the effect is still obvious. On the one hand, iFLYBUDS Nano is an active noise-cancelling headset, and its environmental noise reduction level has reached the industry's top level; on the other hand, iFLYBUDS Nano also has three microphones with hard core call noise reduction, which is also the industry's top level in call noise reduction, effectively avoiding Smooth communication despite external noise and noisy environment. So you don’t have to worry about noise reduction.

How is the battery life? What mobile phones are supported?

Let’s talk about battery life first. iFLYBUDS Nano can be used alone for up to 12 hours without charging. Moreover, iFLYBUDS Nano also supports Qi-certified wireless charging, which can be charged both wired and wirelessly.

As for mobile phones, iFLYBUDS Nano can be used on Apple, Android, and Hongmeng mobile phones. It supports saving 8 paired devices. Not only can it switch without any touch with one click, but it also supports Android/Hongmeng & ios Bluetooth dual connection.

For example, if we connect an iPhone 13 Pro Max and a Huawei Mate50 Porsche Design at the same time, and play music videos on the iPhone, the headphones will automatically switch to the iPhone, and vice versa on the Huawei Mate50 Porsche Design. In addition, when watching videos and listening to music on the iPhone, if a call comes from Huawei Mate50 Porsche Design, the headset will automatically switch to the Huawei Mate50 Porsche Design connection. You can answer the call by tapping the headset directly, which is very convenient. And when the headset is connected to your iPhone, if you want to switch to another computer that has been paired before, you don't need to go to the phone settings interface to disconnect Bluetooth, open the APP, click once, and you can switch pairing with one click.

Write at the end

OK, the above are some of my personal experiences with iFLYBUDS Nano. The sound quality and noise reduction are in line with what a headset of the same price range should have. It not only has a long battery life, but also supports wireless charging. As a headset, the basic quality is strong enough. At the same time, with the support of AI, it also realizes the recording & transcription function, which not only has high accuracy, but also supports multiple languages, even professional languages, making it not only a ten-type headset, but also a productivity tool that can effectively improve Our office efficiency, for office workers, it will definitely become our good assistant.
