Archive item — written before sources were shown.
Plaud One earbuds pair with an eSIM-enabled case so you can instruct connected AI agents without a phone or laptop nearby, from $249.
Plaud unveiled the Plaud One earbuds August 27, preordering at $249 for Q4 2026 delivery, with an eSIM-enabled charging case that lets the case itself relay voice instructions to connected AI agents, including Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion, and Slack, without a phone or computer nearby. The case captures voices within a 5-meter range; the buds record up to 6 hours of calls or 3 hours of in-person meetings per charge, with 300 free transcription minutes monthly. CEO Nathan Xu described the goal:
A wearable and an always-ready interface, one that people love to wear, is socially acceptable, and private by design.
