Useful Google Assistant integration, Good battery life, Solid volume levels
Case design poorly thought out, Buds difficult to adjust to your ears (and ultimately uncomfortable), Sound quality could have been better at this price, No tactile track controls, Translate limited to Pixel phones (and even then the experience needs work
It was probably an inevitability that Google was going to release its own Bluetooth earbuds, and the Pixel Buds represent a not-horrible first effort. But they've also got a lot of rough edges, and in everything from the case design, to the design of the...
Abstract: Google's first pair of headphones or earbuds or wireless-but-not-truly-wireless in-ears or whatever you want to call them, are here. They are the Pixel Buds and I'd be shocked if you know what these are and also haven't read one of the early reviews that...
Abstract: Google's smart earbuds are a decent proof of concept, but at £159 they're a really tough sell.With the removal of the headphone jack from this year's Pixel phones it's pretty clear Google expects buyers to go wireless for their mobile audio needs. And if...
Abstract: Google's first foray into the audio category screams Google, in both design and functionality. But for their price – which is the same as an equivalent Apple competitor – does it actually add more to the oversaturated world of Bluetooth wireless audio?Rig...

Good battery life, Impressive sound quality
Ridiculous setup issues, Uncomfortable to wear, Problematic interactions

They sound better than expected, Intuitive touch controls, Solid battery life
They don't shut out ambient noise at all, Obnoxious case design, Touch pads are easy totap accidentally, Google Assistant seems hit-or-miss
Chris Velazco/EngadgetI'm not entirely sure why Google released the Pixel Buds in their current form. At best, they're decent; at worst, they feel unfinished. The concept certainly has promise, and I appreciate that Google wanted the Pixel Buds to be feat...

Can summon Google Assistant with a tap, Translation feature shows a lot of promise, Good battery life
So-so audio, Inconsistent performance, Poorly designed carrying case, Too easy to inadvertently tap on
Google's recent products have leaned heavily on the company's massive knowledge database and software expertise as of late, and the Pixel Buds are part of that push. Letting you summon Google's Assistant just by tapping an earbud is a handy capability. An...

The Google Pixel Buds are lightweight wireless earphones that offer a relatively comfortable fit and decent sound in non-noisy environments. They wrap up nicely to fit in a very compact charging case that delivers multiple extra charges on the go. Their t
Their open design lets in a lot of ambient sound. The "real-time" translation feature is only available to Pixel phone owners, but isn't a big leap beyond the existing Translate app. Bluetooth pairing can be more cumbersome than it should be
The Pixel Buds are perfectly decent wireless headphones with a few extra tricks for Pixel phone users -- but don't expect a 'Star Trek'-style universal translator...

Abstract: The Pixel Buds are an inevitability. The headphones were born out of necessity when Google embraced the smartphone zeitgeist and dropped the headphone jack with the Pixel 2.The company's first Bluetooth headphones are a $159 attempt to ease that transitio...
