Mymanu CLIK PRO

Mymanu CLIK PRO are earbuds supporting 50+ languages online. The device stands out with its case featuring an e-INK screen and built-in speaker. Despite high sound quality and useful translation features, the earbuds have several disadvantages. One of them is the necessity to constantly hold your phone with the app open during translation in some functions, which significantly drains the smartphone battery and creates a paradoxical situation - although we have earbuds on, one hand remains constantly occupied, which negates some of the benefits of the wireless design.

Review

The elegant case with an e-INK screen is the first element of Mymanu CLIK PRO that catches attention after taking it out of the box. During our tests, the case with the integrated speaker proved extremely practical - displayed translations were readable even in full sunlight, and the sound from the speaker was loud enough to hold conversations in a café.

Functions and Operating Modes

Mymanu CLIK PRO offers several operating modes, which we tested in various scenarios:

• Duo Translation Mode (50+ languages) – allows for direct conversations between two people speaking different languages. Each speaker uses one earbud, and translations are transmitted in real time. In our tests, the mode worked smoothly, although there were short delays with longer statements. A significant drawback is the necessity to physically share in-ear earbuds, which raises hygiene concerns. An advantage is the ability to use it without a phone - just the earbuds and the case with built-in speaker are sufficient.

• Group Translation Mode – enables translation of multilingual conversations for a group of people in the same room or in different locations. This mode requires the MyJuno app and a phone. In controlled test conditions with three devices, the system worked efficiently, but it’s difficult to assess its effectiveness in a larger group. According to the manufacturer, this mode works well for collaboration and information exchange in over 50 languages.

• Continuous/real-time translation Mode – designed for continuous translation of longer speeches, such as lectures or seminars, for a larger number of listeners. This mode requires CLIK PRO earbuds, the MyJuno app, and a phone.

Connectivity

The earbuds offer 2 connectivity options: Wi-Fi and eSIM. The most disappointing aspect turned out to be the lack of a built-in SIM card and any free data package to start with. To fully utilize the device’s potential, we had to independently acquire an eSIM card and purchase a data package. During our test trip to Spain, data transmission costs significantly incre

Sound Quality and User Comfort

Sound quality is high - four microphones and advanced noise reduction algorithms performed very well during our tests in a crowded shopping center. The earbuds also work excellently for listening to music, offering rich, balanced sound. Wearing comfort raises some concerns - although three sizes of ear tips are available, the design of the earbuds entering the ear canal creates hygiene problems when sharing the device, which is after all the essence of a translator. Despite good fit to the ear, after prolonged use some of us experienced discomfort. The battery, as declared by the manufacturer, lasted about 8 hours of continuous use, and the case extended this time to about 30 hours, which was completely sufficient for a several-day trip.

Summary

The innovative case with e-INK screen, varied operating modes, excellent sound quality, and comfortable ear tips give these real time translation earbuds enormous potential. Online translations work well. Unfortunately, the lack of a built-in SIM card and the necessity to incur additional costs for data transmission is a serious oversight in a device of this class. The in-ear design of the earbuds raises hygiene concerns when sharing them with others, which is the essence of the 1:1 translation mode. For business travelers who know English and have data transmission costs covered, Mymanu CLIK PRO will be a useful tool facilitating international communication. However, for the average user, the additional costs may significantly outweigh the benefits.
