They cost approximately 168 dollars and allow you to interact with the company's own chatbot.
Ola Friend wireless headphones are the first from ByteDance (the owner of TikTok and its Chinese counterpart Douyin), according to the South China Morning Post.
They allow you to interact with Doubao, the company's own chatbot, which is powered by the model of the same name. To do this, you need to download the Doubao app on your smartphone and connect the headphones.
The device is available in four colors—white, black, purple, and silver. The price is 1,199 yuan or 16,400 rubles at the exchange rate of the Central Bank on October 10, 2024. It is available for pre-order in China and will go on sale on October 17, 2024, in the Douyin store, Tmall, and JD.com.
The headphones can be used as an 'audio assistant.' For example, you can ask the chatbot to play a specific genre of music, help with foreign language practice, or provide information about an unfamiliar place or landmark.
The device supports active noise cancellation, and the battery life is ten hours on a full charge.
