Status Audio Pro X: A True Wireless Earbud for Audiophiles

Status Audio’s Pro X wireless earbuds debut with audiophile-grade sound, AI-powered voice calls, and a sleeker, smaller fit—designed from the ground up to compete with the best in the world.

James Bertuzzi, CEO and founder of Status Audio, joins Your Tech Report to unveil the Pro X—the company’s most advanced true wireless earbuds yet. Building on the success of the Between Pro and 3ANC, the Pro X features the same acclaimed triple driver system, now with upgraded ergonomics, a 21% smaller profile, and a new AI voice enhancement system for crystal-clear calls.

Bertuzzi shares the behind-the-scenes process of designing a premium earbud that’s both comfortable and high-performance. From partnering with Knowles for industry-leading armature drivers to supporting high-end LDAC and LC3 codecs, every decision was driven by community feedback and real-world testing. The Pro X also includes IP55 water resistance, Google Fast Pair, transparency mode, and a redesigned companion app for full customization.

With a pre-order price of $249 and full retail at $299, the Pro X aims to deliver professional audio and smart features without compromise.

Zoho Just Built Its Own LLM—Here’s Why It Matters

Zoho launches its own large language model—Zia LLM—built in India, designed for business, and powered by privacy-first AI agents that redefine what digital employees can do.

Zoho is taking a bold step into the AI future with the launch of its own large language model (LLM) and a suite of enterprise-ready AI agents, all developed in-house—not in Silicon Valley, but in India. In this conversation, Zoho executive Chandrasekhar “LSP” joins Your Tech Report to unpack what makes Zoho’s approach to AI different—and why it could reshape how businesses automate, analyze, and serve customers.

With its own infrastructure, private data policies, and “no AI tax” pricing model, Zoho aims to give businesses control over their data, their automation, and their outcomes. LSP explains how Zoho’s custom-built LLMs are trained on licensed datasets, operate within customer firewalls, and are tailored to specific business contexts—unlike consumer LLMs from OpenAI or Google.

We also dive into Zoho’s digital employee framework, the Zoho Directory’s access guardrails, and the new Zia agent marketplace, which enables developers to create and monetize AI agents. From speech recognition to interoperability across platforms, this episode offers a deep look into Zoho’s vision for AI—one grounded in privacy, performance, and purpose.
