Have any of you used translator earbuds?

My hubbie and I will be going on a Danube trip in May, including several countries in which my understanding of the local lingo is either zero (Hungarian) or close to nonexistent (Serbo-Croatian, Bulgarian, Romanian). I'm thinking of getting translating earbuds, but don't know anyone who's actually used them. Have you had the opportunity to use them? How well do they work?

I have not yet, although I am planning to buy the pods this week once I am in DC. However, I recommend you to research a little bit deeper, I think I read somewhere that because of the UE regulations, this service does not work in Europe. I am not 100% sure of this, and this issue was referring to iPods.

What's the benefit of this over Google Translate in voice?

More discreet, as everyone doesn't have to hear your conversation. Bought a pair last week, 639THB, just cleared customs so will find out more soon.

Like @vinapu said...Fancy, blowing all that cash on an experiment.
