You'll use Google Assistant more than ever, Touchpad gestures are neat
Odd case design, Hard to adjust ear fit, Uncomfortable to wear, Open design isn't good for noisy areas, Real-time translations fall flat
On one hand, Pixel Buds offer a decent Google Assistant experience. On the other hand, they're frustratingly designed, don't sound great, and don't deliver on the potential of their real-time translation headline feature.Google has made headway with its P...
Excellent battery life, Great hands-free calling quality, Translations, while limited, can be useful
Fiddly and inelegant headphone storage, Non-isolating sound, Fiddly touch panel, Translation limited to Pixel phones, Cumbersome to use across multiple devices
The Pixel Buds are an ambitious attempt at high-tech headphones but they're poorly executed and limited by a need for a Pixel phone if you want to use them to their full potential...
The Pixel Buds are a curious failure. They have one of the most joyfully genius features of the last few years in their real-time translation, but that is totally contradicted by their ugly, pain-inducing design and the fact it's already a feature hidden...

Smart design, Good battery life
Awkward fit, Bassy sound, Google Assistant is pernickety
From Maps to Drive, Google has a history of making products that aren't that great to start off with and end up being awesome. The trouble with its Pixel Buds is that you're being asked to pay for that awkward first step, and that's not a great deal. Hav...

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...
Google Assistant is seamless, Sound quality is good, Respectable battery life
Awkward design, Too much sound leak, Hearables shouldn't be this tricky
The Pixel Buds should be enjoyable and simple to use; in reality they're neither. While they present some good ideas, including the best way of using Google Assistant yet, they're hampered by an awkward design, far too much sound leakage and other nigglin...
Instant translation is fun, relatively accurate, Loud audio with full bass, Controls work well, Charging case takes you off the grid
Expensive for tethered earbuds, Charging case hard to close, feels flimsy, Earbuds fit oddly
Unless you're a Pixel phone owner who travels abroad on a regular basis, we'd recommend looking elsewhere. While the Google Translate feature is cool, it's not much better with the Pixel Buds than what you'll get straight from your phone, and aside from e...
