💡 Product Overview & Comparison

Q: What improvements does the X1 Meeting have over the older X1 model?

A:

The X1 Meeting brings several hardware and software upgrades:

Hardware:

  • Host performance – Unchanged from the old X1 (consistent core performance).

  • Headset pickup – Added a bone conduction microphone, which improves voice recognition accuracy in moderate‑to‑high noise environments and reduces crosstalk between speakers.

  • Battery life – earbuds' battery increased from 45mAh to 50mAh, extending battery life from 2.5 hours to 3 hours.

Software:

  • Multi‑person translation mode – Stability and usability have been significantly optimized.

  • Meeting capacity – Supports up to 10 X1 Meeting hosts and 50 peripheral devices joining the same meeting simultaneously.

Q: What is the difference between the X1 Meeting and ordinary translation earphones or mobile translation apps?

A: The main differences are:

  1. No extra devices or complicated setup

The X1 Meeting is a standalone terminal device – it can be used without downloading an app, registering an account, or connecting to a mobile phone. Ordinary translation earphones and mobile apps typically require a smartphone, software installation, and login.

  1. Designed for multi‑person real‑time simultaneous interpretation

The X1 Meeting supports simultaneous interpretation of up to 5 languages and can serve up to 50 listeners, making it ideal for classrooms, meetings, and other group scenarios. Ordinary translation earphones or apps are mostly designed for one‑to‑one translation and cannot handle multi‑language, multi‑person simultaneous interpretation.

  1. Superior voice pickup and noise reduction

The X1 Meeting uses bone conduction technology to accurately capture the speaker’s voice even in noisy environments, greatly improving recognition accuracy. Ordinary devices often suffer from poor pickup in loud settings.

  1. Fully independent operation – no phone required

Ordinary translation earphones usually need to connect to a phone via Bluetooth and rely on an app. The X1 Meeting is a complete device on its own – no need to distribute phones or rely on a network (core functions can be used offline).

In short, the X1 Meeting is an all‑in‑one device built for multi‑person, multi‑language, real‑time simultaneous interpretation scenarios. Ordinary translation earphones and mobile apps are better suited for personal, one‑on‑one, basic translation needs.

Q: What's the difference between the X1 Meeting and the W4/W4 Pro?

A: They are designed for different use cases and complement each other:

Positioning:

  • X1 Meeting focuses on multi‑person cross‑language collaboration (e.g., group meetings, classrooms, training sessions).

  • W4/W4 Pro focuses on one‑on‑one, in‑depth conversations (e.g., coffee shop chats, business negotiations).

Scenarios:

  • X1 Meeting – Ideal for scenarios where multiple people need real‑time interpretation simultaneously, such as team meetings, lectures, or workshops.

  • W4/W4 Pro – Better suited for private, two‑person interactions that require natural, continuous dialogue.

In short, the X1 Meeting is built for group communication, while the W4/W4 Pro excels at personal, face‑to‑face conversations. They work together to cover different cross‑language needs.

⚡ Meeting Capacity & Multi-Person Translation

Q: What is the maximum number of participants supported in a multi‑person meeting?

A: The system supports up to 10 X1 Meeting hosts (serving as speaking endpoints) and 50 peripheral devices (such as mobile phones, tablets, and computers) as receiving endpoints, all online simultaneously.

⭐ Translation Performance & Battery

Q: How accurate is offline translation on the X1 Meeting?

A: Offline translation accuracy is lower than that of the New T1 model. Since the X1 Meeting is primarily designed for Wi‑Fi‑enabled scenarios such as meeting rooms, online translation is strongly recommended. Additionally, creating a meeting room itself requires an internet connection.

Q: How long does the battery last, and how do you charge it?

A:

  • Earphone battery life: Approximately 3 hours (upgraded from the older model).

  • Main unit battery life: Up to 8 hours, with actual usage depending on the mode – average battery life ranges from 7 to 8 hours.

Charging method: Both the main unit and the earphone charging case are charged via the included USB‑C cable (standard USB‑C port).

✅ Privacy & Data Security

Q: Is the data secure? Does it get uploaded to the cloud?

A: Yes, data security is a top priority for the X1 Meeting. The device employs multiple layers of protection:

  • Bank‑grade encryption: The server uses bank‑level data encryption to ensure communication privacy and security.

  • End‑to‑end encryption: The BabelOS security system follows Responsible AI standards and encrypts data throughout the entire transmission process.

  • Three‑layer privacy protection: The system is built on bank‑grade encryption and data transmission, effectively securing conversations from interception.

Regarding cloud uploads: While translation requires an internet connection and the system utilizes the UniSmart translation cloud for processing and regular vocabulary updates, translation data is stored locally only, without backing up to servers. This ensures full control over your information and protects business confidentiality.

For the complete privacy policy, please refer to the official Timekettle documentation.
