Sure, they can play music, take calls, take pictures, and even throw notifications in front of your eyes, but at the end of the day, they&#8217;re still little screens sitting on your face. Now consider removing the screen altogether.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s exactly what this new pair of AI-powered earbuds is trying to do. Instead of showing you information, these earbuds are designed to quietly hear, see, remember, and react to the world around you. And honestly, this could be one of the most interesting directions AI has taken so far.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ordo wants to be your invisible AI assistant<\/h2>\n<p>The earbuds, called Ordo, come with a built-in camera and built-in AI processing. That means you can just talk to them naturally and get quick answers without taking out your phone or staring at another display. The idea is that you have an invisible assistant who is always listening and helping from behind. And yes, the camera part feels like crap at first. You can ask the earbuds to take pictures completely hands-free, just by talking. But the main factor here is the memory. Ordo is designed to remind you of things &#8211; conversations, notes, reminders, ideas, grocery lists, and any random thought you might forget five minutes later.<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{\" imageid=\"\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><button class=\"lightbox-trigger\" type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-label=\"Enlarge\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\" data-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5974074\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"credit\">order<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For example, if you tell the earbuds about your grocery list while you&#8217;re out, they can later repeat everything back to you without missing anything. A simple example, but it also highlights where AI wearables are headed: reducing the number of times you need to look at the screen in the first place. The earbuds also connect to apps people already use every day, including Slack, Notion, and Gmail. You can ask Ordo to save information directly from your notes, whether it&#8217;s work-related information, a quote from a book, or a quick idea that pops into your head during the day. Instead of typing things by hand, AI handles the editing for you.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">There&#8217;s one problem: you can&#8217;t buy it<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, there is still a big catch: this product is not available yet. Currently, the Ordo is only available for pre-order for $99, with shipping expected sometime in Q4 2026. So, buyers who reserved one today will likely receive it between October and December of this year.<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{\" imageid=\"\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/tachyon\/2026\/05\/Ordo-smart-earbuds.jpg?resize=2000%2C1200\" alt=\"Hardware, Electronics, Hardware\" class=\"wp-image-5974075\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/tachyon\/2026\/05\/Ordo-smart-earbuds.jpg?w=2000 2000w, https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/tachyon\/2026\/05\/Ordo-smart-earbuds.jpg?resize=325%2C195 325w, https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/tachyon\/2026\/05\/Ordo-smart-earbuds.jpg?resize=720%2C432 720w, https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/tachyon\/2026\/05\/Ordo-smart-earbuds.jpg?resize=220%2C132 220w, https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/tachyon\/2026\/05\/Ordo-smart-earbuds.jpg?resize=1536%2C922 1536w, https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/tachyon\/2026\/05\/Ordo-smart-earbuds.jpg?resize=1350%2C810 1350w, https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/tachyon\/2026\/05\/Ordo-smart-earbuds.jpg?resize=650%2C390 650w, https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/tachyon\/2026\/05\/Ordo-smart-earbuds.jpg?resize=430%2C258 430w, https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/tachyon\/2026\/05\/Ordo-smart-earbuds.jpg?resize=1000%2C600 1000w, https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/tachyon\/2026\/05\/Ordo-smart-earbuds.jpg?resize=1200%2C720 1200w, https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/tachyon\/2026\/05\/Ordo-smart-earbuds.jpg?resize=317%2C190 317w, https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/tachyon\/2026\/05\/Ordo-smart-earbuds.jpg?resize=640%2C384 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\"\/><button class=\"lightbox-trigger\" type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-label=\"Enlarge\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\" data-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5974075\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"credit\">Ordo<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This timeline also means that there are still many unanswered questions. How well does AI work in real-world situations? How secret is something that is constantly listening and watching from time to time? And perhaps most importantly, are people really ready to wear a device that remembers everything? Still, even with skepticism, it&#8217;s hard not to see why this idea sounds exciting. Smart wearables have spent years trying to put screens closer to our eyes. Ordo seems to be asking a completely different question: what if the future of AI wearables doesn&#8217;t need a screen at all?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smart glasses have always felt awkward to me.
