EarFun has unveiled a trio of new audio products at CES 2026, with AI-powered translation sitting at the centre of its latest push. Something something Babel fish.
The Air Pro 4+ earbuds, Clip 2 open-ear buds, and Wave Pro X over-ears all lean heavily on next-generation wireless tech, longer battery life, and smarter features designed to work beyond straightforward music playback.
The headline feature arrives with the new Air Pro 4+, which introduces EarFun’s first AI-powered live translation system. Designed for real-world conversations rather than just pre-recorded audio, the feature enables cross-language communication while travelling, attending meetings, or navigating multilingual environments. EarFun says the translation runs alongside normal audio use, rather than replacing everyday listening.
Beyond the AI features, the Air Pro 4+ sticks closely to flagship earbud fundamentals. It uses a hybrid driver configuration with a 10mm dynamic driver, while hybrid active noise cancellation is rated at up to 50dB.
Bluetooth 6.0 support is joined by aptX Lossless, LDAC, Hi-Res Audio certification, and Google Fast Pair. Alongside the standard black finish, the earbuds are also available in a white, for fans of the Stormtrooper aesthetic.
For over-ear listeners, the Wave Pro X is built around Qualcomm’s new QCC3095 chipset, and the cans are touted as the world’s first dual-driver ANC headphones with Auracast support.
Bluetooth 6.0 enables faster pairing, improved stability, and stronger security through updated encryption and pairing standards, while LE Audio efficiency allows for a claimed 100 hours of total battery life.
Sound duties are handled by a dual dynamic driver system, pairing a 40mm DLC driver with a 10mm LCP unit to deliver bass weight, balanced mids, and treble clarity. The Wave Pro X supports lossless playback, LDAC sources, and Hi-Res Audio, with active noise cancellation available both wirelessly and via a wired AUX connection.
USB audio is also supported, while an eight-microphone hybrid system focuses on clearer voice capture and environmental noise suppression during calls. EarFun has confirmed a June 2026 release window.
Completing the line-up is the Clip 2, an open-ear ear-clip design that also brings AI translation to the table. Using real-time speech-to-text translation via the EarFun Audio App, it’s aimed at users who want smart features without blocking awareness of their surroundings. The open design is paired with upgraded 12mm dynamic drivers and an elliptical sound port for wider dispersion, alongside LDAC and Hi-Res Audio support.
The Clip 2 also adds 3D surround sound modes for films and video, multipoint Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity, and Google Fast Pair for compatible Android devices. Quad-mic ENC technology handles call clarity, while an IP55 rating provides protection against dust and water. Battery life reaches up to 40 hours when used with its wireless-charging case, with a March 2026 launch planned.
