These aren't the most uncomfortable wireless earbuds I've worn
But they're definitely subpar. My ears don't like these fabric loops. I also don't enjoy the feeling of the fabric cable between the buds on my neck
It's middling at best. There's no bass
A
Ridiculous setup issues
Uncomfortable to wear
Problematic interactions
Google Assistant and Google Translate features aren't any better than just using the phone apps on their own
Uncomfortable earbud design
Sound quality does not measure up for the price
Mediocre sound quality
No extra accessories
Poor sound isolation
Uncomfortable design
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
Touch controls are a disaster
Cord gets kinked and twisted
Assistant commands have limited use
Live translation is effectively useless
Expensive considering lackluster features
So-so audio
Inconsistent performance
Poorly designed carrying case
Too easy to inadvertently tap on
Design isn't truly wireless
Sound quality is middling
Google Translate can be awkward and requires Pixel 2
Carrying case is large and fiddly
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
Bad fit
Bad sound
No isolation
Terrible isolation
The charging case is nice
But putting them back in is a mess
Battery life is subpar
The adjustable loop needs adjusting with basically every use
Sound quality isn't up to snuff with other wireless earbuds
Unremarkable single-charge battery life
Negligible noise isolation
Lightweight bass
Glossy white finish isn't easy to keep looking pristine
When I saw the Pixel Buds announced at last years I/O event, I was very interested to see just how good they were for music quality. However, most of all I wanted to use the built-in Google Assistant features.Whilst the instant translation feature wowed m...

While the earbuds only offer five hours of listening time, they come with a charging case which can be used to prolong the listening time to up to 24 hours, Despite being made by Google, they actually work with both Android devices and iPhones when used w
The sound quality was disappointing, there's plenty of treble but a lack of deep bass and bight high notes, The battery life without the charging case is disappointing at just five hours
Those with access to Google Assistant on their smartphones will get the most out of these in-ear wireless headphones. Comfortable and simple to set up but lacking in sound quality, Google's first attempt at headphones is valiant but falls a little short...
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...
