Mymanu

Mymanu is a British consumer-electronics brand and trading name of CEH Technologies Ltd, a company founded in 2014 by Danny Manu. The brand develops hardware and software intended to combine audio, communication, translation, and wireless connectivity. Its products are positioned around reducing dependence on conventional screens and cables while extending the usefulness of everyday audio devices. The company’s earliest product was the Gabby Smart Speaker, a waterproof Bluetooth speaker. According to the company’s origin story, the concept was inspired by an incident involving Manu’s daughter dropping a phone into water. The speaker established Mymanu’s initial focus on practical, portable wireless audio rather than traditional home hi-fi equipment. Gabby later received recognition at CES 2018. Mymanu’s best-known product family is CLIK, a line of wireless earbuds designed to support live voice translation. The earbuds communicate with connected devices over Bluetooth, while translation functions are supported by the MyJuno application. MyJuno is designed to convert spoken language into text and synthesized speech, allowing users to communicate across languages through paired earbuds and a mobile device. The original CLIK concept emerged in 2016, followed by CLIK+ at CES 2017, CLIK S at Mobile World Congress in 2019, and the AI-enabled CLIK Pro in 2024. The CLIK S received recognition as a CES Innovation Awards honoree, while CLIK Pro was also named a CES 2024 Innovation Awards honoree. The brand subsequently expanded from translation earbuds into more autonomous communication devices. Titan, introduced in 2023, uses eSIM and cellular connectivity to support calls and messages without requiring a smartphone. The product was presented as a screenless mobile-phone alternative and was demonstrated at CES 2023 and Mobile World Congress 2023. Its intended functions include voice-controlled communication and translation, reflecting Mymanu’s broader ambition to make connected services available through audio-first interfaces. Mymanu also sells or develops accessories and software that broaden the role of wireless audio. The Link is a Bluetooth transmitter and receiver introduced in November 2023. It allows users to connect wireless headphones to equipment without built-in Bluetooth, including airplane entertainment systems, gym machines, and gaming consoles. The company’s software portfolio includes MyJuno, which supports translation and messaging, and Mymanu Play, which brings services such as Spotify, Deezer, and Tidal into a unified listening platform. Mymanu’s business spans consumer audio, translation technology, mobile connectivity, and related applications. Its products have been presented in the United States and Europe, with the company also identifying Asia as a major market. The available reference material does not establish detailed revenue, ownership, distribution, or current corporate leadership beyond founder and chief executive Danny Manu. The brand remains associated with experimental wireless communication products, particularly earbuds that combine audio playback with translation and cellular functionality.

Mymanu was established in England in 2014 as a trading brand of CEH Technologies Ltd, a British electronics company founded by Danny Manu. From its beginning, the brand focused on products that joined sound hardware with software-enabled communication. Rather than concentrating solely on conventional music playback, Mymanu explored wireless products that could assist with travel, multilingual communication, and access to audio in situations where a smartphone or wired connection was inconvenient. The first product associated with the brand was the Gabby Smart Speaker, a waterproof Bluetooth speaker. Its concept was linked to an everyday accident in which Manu’s daughter dropped a phone into water. This origin helped define the product as a practical, portable speaker designed for use around water and in other less controlled environments. Gabby also gave Mymanu an early presence in consumer audio and subsequently received innovation recognition at CES 2018. Mymanu’s central technological direction became clearer in 2016, when its team developed CLIK, a pair of wireless earbuds intended to provide live voice translation. The earbuds use Bluetooth to communicate with connected devices, while the translation experience is supported by Mymanu’s MyJuno software. MyJuno provides speech-to-text and text-to-speech functions, allowing spoken communication to be processed and delivered through the earbuds. This approach made CLIK part of an emerging category of translation hardware that sought to turn earbuds into communication tools rather than simple listening accessories. The CLIK family developed through several iterations. CLIK+ was shown at CES in 2017, and the original CLIK concept was shortlisted for Marriott Hotels’ Testbed accelerator programme during the same period. The Marriott connection provided a hospitality and travel setting in which live translation could be evaluated. Mymanu later presented CLIK S at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in 2019. CLIK S was also recognized as a CES Innovation Awards honoree. In 2024, the company released CLIK Pro, described as an AI-powered generation, and the product received CES 2024 Innovation Awards honoree recognition. During the 2020s, Mymanu broadened its ambitions beyond Bluetooth-linked earbuds. In 2023 it introduced Titan, an eSIM-enabled earbud intended to operate with a greater degree of independence from a smartphone. Titan was designed to allow calls and messages and to provide voice-controlled translation through cellular connectivity. Its presentation at CES 2023 and Mobile World Congress 2023 framed the device as a screenless mobile-phone concept. This marked a shift from translation as an app-assisted accessory toward communication delivered directly through a wearable audio device. The company also expanded into connectivity accessories. Introduced in November 2023, Mymanu Link is a Bluetooth transmitter and receiver that enables wireless headphones to work with audio sources lacking built-in Bluetooth. Examples include airplane entertainment systems, gym equipment, and gaming consoles. The product extends Mymanu’s wireless-audio proposition beyond its own earbuds and into broader use with third-party equipment. Software remains an important part of the brand’s operating model. MyJuno supports translation and messaging functions, while Mymanu Play integrates music-streaming services including Spotify, Deezer, and Tidal into one platform. Together, these applications connect Mymanu’s hardware to communication and entertainment services. The brand’s stated or documented markets include the United States, Europe, and Asia. Public reference material identifies Danny Manu as founder and chief executive, but does not provide a complete executive roster, detailed corporate financial information, or a confirmed current distribution structure. Mymanu is therefore best understood as an active, privately held British consumer-electronics brand centered on experimental wireless audio, translation, and screen-light communication.
