What AI translators cost in the first year
We compare dedicated translation earbuds, handhelds, and hubs by first-year cost: the official device price plus fees you still have to pay in year one for ordinary face-to-face use. Tax, shipping, and optional add-ons stay out.
Brands include Timekettle, Vasco, Pocketalk, Wooask, Anfier, iFLYTEK, and Mymanu. The table is sorted by first-year cost; use the filters when phone need or offline support matters.

FAQ
What does first-year cost mean here?
It is the official device price plus any fees you still have to pay in the first year for ordinary two-person conversation (online is fine; free included minutes count). Optional call or media add-ons are not counted. More detail: how to compare translator prices.
Why can Hardware and First-year be different?
Hardware is the maker’s device price. First-year adds required fees for that first year of use. If nothing extra is required, the two match. We do not replace those numbers with a temporary Amazon deal price.
Do translation earbuds always need a phone?
No. Plenty of earbuds lean on a phone app; many handhelds do not. Check the Phone column, or read do translation earbuds work without a phone?.
What is left out of these prices?
Tax, shipping, warranties, and optional call or media upgrades. If the first-year figure is incomplete, the cell is blank (—), not $0. Always confirm the total at checkout.
