Thanks for having us on KTLA! Full video & whisper demos below!

What if you could whisper instead of talking out loud to type?

I checked out new AI-powered earbuds from @subtlecomputing that isolate your voice, even in a loud, crowded room.

You can basically whisper your thoughts and have them turned into text. Pretty cool technology, especially if you use voice typing as much as I do.

Saw this guy whispering to his computer on my flight 🤨 how?

People are doing some crazy things to talk to AI, including wearing muzzles and inventing earbuds that can hear whispers. My latest YouTube feature on Silicon Valley’s quest to kill the keyboard!

@JoannaStern Thanks for the visit @JoannaStern !

@ianbach +1! first subtle voice interfaces shipping this spring, will feel magical

[Subtle @subtlecomputing]

@__smiz I usually use transparency mode or just wear one bud at a time in the office!

Open ear is great tho, definitely an option for future products but might be a little while.

@mhaeberli @Scobleizer @TylerNChen Love it, just took a look at stuff that’s out there today and the Apple Watch walkie talkie mode seems to be the closest today? But not sure if it can pair with AirPods, seems like a lot of people couldn’t get it to work here https://t.co/pP33U0Ralj

[Subtle @subtlecomputing]

@mhaeberli @Scobleizer @TylerNChen If you call each other on the phone while using them, then yes! We’ve had a lot of great feature requests for hearing support so we plan to add more as time goes on!
Please send any suggestions our way!

@MoyezRabbani They’ve got multipair, ANC, solid sound quality, plus the world’s clearest phone calls (and yes, ai below a whisper). We’re biased but we think they’re great

#ces2026 Report 8:

Just had a demo of these. Most interesting new headphones I have seen in years.

You can talk to AI with them at quieter than whisper level.

@TylerNChen is standing next to me. I can’t hear what he is saying but his phone does.

[Subtle @subtlecomputing]

@alliekmiller @OpenAI Seems like they’ll need subtle voice input 👀

[Subtle @subtlecomputing]

Voicebuds are built for loud places like CES (seen on @WIRED)!

@pw_audio Thanks for checking us out at CES!!

[Subtle @subtlecomputing]

Thanks for trying out Voicebuds @engadget !!

[Engadget @engadget]

The Subtle Voicebuds use AI to transcribe your words below a whisper, or in very loud spaces (like the CES show floor) https://t.co/7yGeciBURz

@jessebtyler We’re lucky to work with you and the All True crew!!!
