Too Expensive
Fiddly and inelegant headphone storage
Non-isolating sound
Fiddly touch panel
Translation limited to Pixel phones
Cumbersome to use across multiple devices
Awkward fit
Bassy sound
Google Assistant is pernickety
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
Fiddly connectivity
Not a great fit
Music lacks both excitement and detail
Awkward design
Too much sound leak
Hearables shouldn't be this tricky
Google Assistant features are fussy
One-touch controls are messy

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

Great build materials, Playback controls are smooth, Google Assistant notifications work as advertised, Great connection strength and easy pairing with an Android device (5.0 or above), Quick charging
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
If you're thinking of getting the Pixel Buds, just don't. They're not a bad pair of earbuds, but they're overpriced and imperfect. At this point, you're better off just waiting for Google to release the new true wireless Pixel Buds...

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...
Abstract: Usually when I dig into headphones, I'm looking at something from Sony, Sennheiser, Grado, or some other known quantities in the personal audio world. But right now, we're in a transitional period where phones are dropping headphone jacks left and right...
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...
