This new affordable open-ear bone conduction headset comes with a camera, Wi-Fi 6, translation

The idea of putting a camera in a pair of headphones is not new at all. Razer showed Project Motoko at CES 2026, VibeLens launched the MusicCam on Kickstarter last year, and now Rollme has entered the space with its new AirCam, which is an open-ear bone conduction headset fitted with an 8 MP Sony camera (the company doesn't mention the exact sensor), Wi-Fi 6, and onboard AI. You pay $79.99 for this wearable.

The camera records 1080p at 30fps with EIS and stores footage on 8 GB of internal storage. Maximum continuous recording is capped at 10 minutes per clip, which is a limitation worth considering for anyone wanting action camera-style endurance from this. Photos are transmitted over Wi-Fi rather than Bluetooth. Touch controls handle the other basics — single tap for photo, double tap to start or stop video, triple tap for audio recording.

On the AI side, the AirCam uses a large language model to identify objects, text, landmarks, and scenes in real time through the camera feed. Real-time translation is also on board for multilingual conversations; travellers and commuters could benefit from this.

Audio-wise, you get 16 mm Hi-Fi drivers with dual ENC microphones for call clarity. The open-ear design claims to keeps ambient sound audible, which could be useful for outdoor use, less so if you want isolation. Battery is a 220 mAh cell offering 10 hours of music or calls and 120 hours of standby.

The most direct comparison is the VibeLens MusicCam, which uses a rotating Sony IMX219 sensor capable of 2K, six-axis stabilisation, and a much larger 600 mAh battery with up to 15 hours of music playback and 2.6 hours of video. However, MusicCam was priced at $199 at early bird retail (it's currently down to $149 on Amazon). At $79.99, the AirCam is lower than that, though the spec sheet does reflect the price difference very well.

The AirCam is available now in black, orange, and white at rollmefit.com.
