Plaud has launched Plaud One, AI-powered earphones with an eSIM-enabled case for remote AI agent instructions. The device is priced at $249 and ships in the fourth quarter of 2026.

  • Plaud One earphones can record calls and in-person conversations, with the case supporting an eSIM for remote AI agent use.

Plaud has introduced Plaud One, a pair of earphones designed for AI-assisted note-taking. The device can record calls, while its charging case can capture in-person conversations and take notes. The case also supports an eSIM card, which the company says allows users to instruct Plaud's AI agents remotely without using a phone or computer.

The earphones feature 12mm drivers and active noise cancellation. Plaud says the case can capture voices clearly within five metres, and the earphones can record six hours of in-person meetings or three hours of calls on a single charge. Combined with the case, users can record up to 25 hours of conversations.

Once a conversation is transcribed, Plaud's AI agent can connect to tools like Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion and Slack to perform tasks such as writing follow-up emails or creating documents and presentations. The company says buyers get 300 minutes of free transcription per month, with additional plans starting from $8.33 per month (paid annually).

The Plaud One is priced at $249 and can be pre-ordered now, with shipping expected in the fourth quarter of 2026. Plaud says it will also introduce a credit-based system for agentic tasks, and buyers will receive $200 in credits.

Why this matters: Plaud's entry into AI earbuds highlights the growing trend of wearable AI note-taking devices, with the eSIM case offering a new way to interact with AI agents remotely.

What this means for you: If you pre-order the Plaud One, you will get 300 minutes of free transcription per month and $200 in credits for future AI agent tasks.
