Mobvoi introduces TicNote Pods, the first 4G-enabled AI note-taking earbuds designed for people who constantly switch between meetings, calls, and learning environments. Unlike traditional AI recorders that only capture ambient sound, these earbuds record both environmental audio and the voices transmitted through the earbuds, giving users complete and reliable documentation anywhere.
With built-in 4G eSIM and Shadow AI processing, TicNote Pods can upload, transcribe, and organize conversations up to 50% faster than Wi-Fi-only devices. This frees users from the need to keep their phone nearby and allows seamless operation in classrooms, offices, or travel scenarios.
Shadow AI Powers Automated Transcriptions and Smart Summaries
At the center of TicNote Pods is Shadow AI, an intelligent system that produces real-time transcripts, speaker-labeled notes, and actionable summaries minutes after a meeting ends. It can also generate structured to-do lists and detect tasks inside a discussion, turning casual conversations into organized knowledge automatically.
The earbuds support more than 100 languages with real-time transcription and translation, making them suitable for global teams and multilingual work. A standout feature is the ability to record two audio sources: the surroundings through the charging case and voices transmitted through the earbuds. This dual-capture approach ensures no part of a meeting or call is missed.
Lightweight Design Built for Everyday Comfort
Each earbud weighs only 7 grams and uses soft liquid-silicone hooks for long wear during study sessions, commutes, or remote work. Using ENC + AEC, the earbuds reduce environmental noise and maintain call clarity in both indoor and outdoor settings.
The charging case doubles as a standalone recorder with 32 GB of storage, allowing users to capture conversations even when the earbuds aren’t worn. Automatic cloud syncing ensures thousands of hours of recordings are safely backed up and easy to retrieve across devices.
Reliable 4G Connectivity and All-Day Power
TicNote Pods intelligently switch between 4G, Wi-Fi hotspot, and Bluetooth 6.0 for uninterrupted recording and syncing. A 15-minute top-up yields three hours of use, while the case provides up to 40 hours of music playback or 25 hours of continuous recording.
Rated IPX4, the earbuds withstand daily moisture and sweat, making them suitable for work and travel. Their encrypted storage system and manual recording controls give users confidence when handling sensitive business discussions.
Conclusion
With TicNote Pods, Mobvoi blends AI automation, 4G independence, and premium audio into a compact productivity tool. The earbuds launch on Kickstarter for USD 199 ahead of their global MSRP of 299 USD, with shipping expected to begin January 2026. Every unit includes 600 monthly transcription minutes, with optional upgrades for professional and business-level workloads.
