- AI headsets would offer real-time translation and AI-generated voice cloning
- Given the design, I hope it is implemented as part of the Think family.
- Could be combined with Lenovo’s AI-powered Action Assistant
At CES 2025, Lenovo showed off prototypes of AI-powered headsets that it hopes will improve the language skills of workers around the world.
The standout feature is the headset’s ability to provide real-time translation, allowing users to interact in different languages.
The prototype also introduced a new feature called AI-generated voice cloning, which allows the headset to accurately imitate a user’s voice.
Advanced Health Features and Action Assistant
The concept also incorporates advanced health monitoring features through Lenovo Virtual Care, which combines biometric tracking with an AI-powered virtual assistant for personalized wellness insights.
These headphones could also integrate with Lenovo’s Action Assistant, a task automation concept also presented at CES 2025.
Powered by a Large Action Model (LAM), Action Assistant can understand natural language instructions to perform complex workflows.
From the concept image, Lenovo’s AI headphones integrate seven ports and key buttons, including volume, into one ear.
Next to this is a multifunction button, probably designed to play or pause media, answer calls, or activate a voice assistant.
The concept also features a foldable microphone arm that can rotate in any direction for clear audio capture.
A USB-C port should support fast charging and potentially wired connectivity. There is also a dedicated power button and a speaker grille that features a perforated design.
Finally, the design of the AI headphones is completed with a padded and adjustable headband that is usually used for comfort during prolonged use.
It’s worth reiterating that Lenovo’s AI headphones are just a prototype; and pointing out that a significant number of prototypes never become commercially available.
