The second-generation Google Pixel Buds are a significant improvement on the first with a fairly unique combination of an open-air-like fit with the full sound that requires a silicone ear tip.The combination will please those that hate the “plugged in” f...
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...

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...

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...
