The editors liked
Translation feature works
Decent battery life
Cute little soft case
Made for folks who still like earbuds (how many are left?)
Battery performance isn't bad
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
The editors didn't like
Translation doesn't always work
Poor ergonomics
Quickly uncomfortable
Volume differences are crazy
Low to high
With little in between
Controls are super fussy
Translation feature seems fiddly at best
Storage of the earbuds is specific to one method of winding them up
Expensive
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

Instant access to Google Assistant, Translation feature is clutch for foreign communication, Adjustable sound through Google Play Music and Spotify equalizer settings, Super-affordable
Mediocre sound quality, No extra accessories, Poor sound isolation, Uncomfortable design
At $30, Google's Pixel USB-C Earbuds are a bargain for consumers wanting an intuitive, decent pair of earbuds on the cheap for their Android phone.However, the only real reason to pick them up is for the Google Assistant feature. True, you can just pull u...

If you're at all in the market for a pair of USB Type-C headphones or earphones, these ought to be at the top of your list. The cost is right in line with the features and functions, plus the Google Assistant smarts add something you, for the most part, c...

They're free with your Pixel 3, Cost
Bad fit, Bad sound, No isolation
These are earbuds meant to be manufactured at scale, and are pretty bad, all things considered. If you're thinking about buying these, save your money and get something else instead...
Comfort is truly fantastic, Sound is above average for earbuds, Battery life is great with the case, Pairing and changing devices is a breeze, Case has held up over several months
Touch controls are a disaster, Cord gets kinked and twisted, Assistant commands have limited use, Live translation is effectively useless, Expensive considering lackluster features
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...
