The company opened advance registration on its official website on October 21 and says it will sell the device in limited quantities. Plaud One pairs a charging case with earbuds, and the case carries a built-in eSIM for 4G LTE use without a phone.
The hardware is split between a charging case and half-in-ear earbuds with three microphones and one VPU. The case holds four MEMS microphones and records audio up to 5m away, while the earbuds support active noise canceling, LDAC, and Bluetooth 5.4. Because the case has a built-in eSIM, it stays connected on its own over 4G LTE with no carrier setup in more than 80 countries and regions, and recordings upload to the cloud for transcription and summarization.
The companion software Plaud Intelligence was updated to support document creation, integration with external services, and automatic task execution. Head of Sales Naoyuki Suzuki frames the direction as a change in kind: Plaud should evolve from a recording tool into an AI agent that completes work.
