Earbuds and earphones

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Lucy OS1 without looking at the screen at all?
Yes — once a session is active, all interaction is by voice. Responses are delivered as audio. You do not need to look at or touch the screen during an active session.
What earbuds work best for hands-free AI?
Any earbuds with a microphone work. Noise-cancelling earbuds (AirPods Pro, Sony WF-1000XM5, Bose QC Earbuds) improve transcription accuracy in noisy environments significantly.
Does hands-free mode work in loud environments?
Deepgram nova-3's noise robustness handles most real-world environments. Loud concerts or heavy machinery may degrade accuracy. Most commute, exercise, and household environments work well.
