#GOOGLE BUDS PRO#
Not even the most intense head-shaking could knock them out my ears.Īt 5.3 grams, each Pixel Bud is 0.1 grams lighter than AirPods Pro and 1 gram lighter than Galaxy Buds+. I’d love to see a teardown of what’s inside because these buds are compact and the rubber “stabilizer arcs” on each kept them tight in my ears. They look better than AirPods Pro (no stems) and don’t bulge out as much like Galaxy Buds+. Mega comfy - This is personal preference, but Pixel Buds are my new most comfortable wireless earbuds. The fidgeting ASMR nerd in me can’t get enough. The buds snap magnetically into position with just the right amount of force when you place them inside the case and the hinge flips open and snaps shut with pleasant clicks. I’m even impressed by the satisfying mechanical details.

Here’s how the Pixel Buds case stacks up: The case also supports wireless charging, too. It makes it easier to pop the case open with my thumb. Mostly, I’m glad the case is narrower and taller instead of wider and shorter like the AirPods Pro and Galaxy Buds+ cases. I appreciate that the Pixel Buds case is not much larger than an AirPods case Apple set the standard and anything larger is an abomination. Each earbud has touchpad controls and they’re easy to remember: forward swipe to increase volume, back swipe to reduce volume, single-tap to play/pause, double-tap to skip to the next track, triple-tap to go to the previous song, and press-and-hold to activate the Google Assistant. I love the matte finish on the case and the earbuds they’re smooth and not too slippery. Super slick design - There are so many ugly wireless earbuds out there, it’s nice to see a pair of good-looking ones for a change. They’re the most responsive Assistant-equipped earbuds I’ve ever used. If you’re this person - you can’t live without it or you travel a lot and could use the real-time translations - then these wireless earbuds really stand out. There’s really only one reason to buy Pixel Buds: you really love the Google Assistant. Both have upped the ante in terms of what I expect from wireless earbuds. Apple released AirPods Pro and Samsung launched Galaxy Buds+. Had Google released the Pixel Buds last October, these would have been a hell of a value. But using the Pixel Buds left me with more questions than answers. Google got a whole bunch of things right, especially the fit and size of the case. I’ve had the M&M-shaped earbuds in my ears for the last couple of days and they’re not bad for $179. The phone shipped last year, but the Pixel Buds are just now arriving six months later. And can you blame me? The true wireless earbuds were announced way back in October 2019 with the Pixel 4. I’ll be honest: I had nearly forgotten about Google’s new Pixel Buds.
