URBAN has launched the VIBE POD OWS, an open‑ear true wireless audio wearable that the company says brings AI‑powered live language translation to an affordable segment. The device retains an open‑ear form factor that lets users hear ambient sound while listening to audio, and it is being sold in India for ₹1,499 through e‑commerce portals and URBAN’s official website, gourban.in. The product carries a one‑year warranty.

According to the launch information, the VIBE POD OWS pairs an open‑ear design with several connectivity and call features. Key specifications URBAN lists include Bluetooth 6.0 support, Environmental Noise Cancellation for calls (ENC), and gaming and video sync aimed at reducing audio delay.
