Remember The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’s Babel fish? The little squirmy guy that could be slapped into characters’ ears to make them immediately understand any spoken language? We as a society have spent the last 50 years essentially turning Douglas Adams’s vision of interstellar culture into a reality -- the device you’re probably reading this on is itself not dissimilar to The Hitchhiker’s Guide -- and we’ve gotten even closer with the Mymanu CLIK S: Award-Winning Translation Earbuds.

These innovative earbuds have won awards from CES and Red Dot Design because they allow you to speak to more than two billion people around the world in 37 languages. It pairs with proprietary translation app MyJuno to provide real-time speech-to-speech translation whether you're having a one-on-one conversation or trying to fit in with that table of cool Parisians who inexplicably invited you to sit with them. It can also translate speech-to-text and text-to-speech when you have Wi-Fi or data available.

With MyJuno, you'll get world-class fast translation put into a clipboard that shows all translations in text format. You can save frequently used phrases to the phrasebook and rest assured that all of your data and privacy are protected.

And don't forget, they're still earbuds!
