Rollme AirCam: These Weird New Earbuds Actually Feature an 8MP Camera

Meet the Rollme AirCam: The Open-Ear Headphones That Record Video

It’s not every day you see a pair of headphones that doubles as a wearable camera, but that is exactly what the new Rollme AirCam brings to the table. These aren’t just your standard open-ear buds; they’re packing a legitimate 8MP Sony sensor right into the frame.

If you’ve ever wanted to capture a quick hands-free POV shot without pulling out your phone, the AirCam records 1080p video at 30fps. To keep things manageable, recordings are capped at 10 minutes, saving you from filling up the 8GB of internal storage too quickly. Plus, with built-in Wi-Fi 6, moving those clips over to your smartphone is surprisingly fast.

More Than Just a Camera

Beyond the video features, Rollme has leaned heavily into the “smart” side of wearables. The device includes an integrated AI assistant powered by a large language model (LLM). It’s designed to analyze your surroundings, offering helpful context on what you’re looking at, and it even supports on-device real-time translation—a handy feature for travelers or those working in international settings.

Audio Performance and Battery Life

Despite the high-tech camera and AI features, they are still, first and foremost, a pair of headphones. They feature 16mm drivers for audio and use dual microphones with environmental noise cancellation (ENC) to keep your phone calls clear. You’ll manage everything through a touch-sensitive panel on the right side of the device.

Powering the whole experience is a 220mAh battery, which Rollme estimates will net you about 10 hours of music playback on a single charge.

Available in sleek black, vibrant orange, or clean white, the Rollme AirCam is currently priced at just $80. It’s an intriguing, budget-friendly experiment for anyone who likes to keep their gadgets as versatile as possible.
