TikTok owner ByteDance unveils its first earbuds in China


ByteDance is moving into audio gear with its first earbuds. Ola Friend will only be available in China for now and the earbuds connect to the company's generative AI assistant, Doubao.

According to the South China Morning Post, wearers will be able to use the open-ear buds as a tour guide while traveling and to practice English (among other things) after they're paired with the Doubao mobile app. The debut of Ola Friend follows ByteDance completing its purchase of Oladance, a maker of wearable audio devices, this year.
