Voice AI startup Subtle has announced a new pair of wireless earbuds designed to make speech clearer for both calls and transcription, even in loud environments. The company revealed the product ahead of CES, positioning the earbuds as a voice-first interface rather than just an audio accessory.

Priced at $199, the earbuds include a one-year subscription to Subtle’s iOS and Mac app, which enables hands-free voice notes, AI chat, and transcription without touching a keyboard. Subtle says a custom chip allows the buds to wake an iPhone even while it’s locked, signaling a deeper integration between hardware and voice-based computing.
