Totally worth it as earphones and translator, but your coolness factor will drop considerably (unless you´re already considered a geek)

A present from my partner last Christmas, these have aged surprisingly well. Still a bit of a nerdy gadget, and likely not something that will impress on a first date, but functional and practical.
One cool feature is that you can customize the voice it uses, I love having Dame Judi Dench in my head, telling me what the world looks like or what random messages are coming in from Outlook, Teams, etc.
Even simple things like "Battery at 75%" sounds better when it is spoken by the dame.
On my voices wishlist; Darth Vader, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Donald Trump, Eminem, Hannibal Lecter, Mahatma Gandhi.
