  • Abstract:  All photos: Adam Clark EstesThere was always something off about the Pixel Buds. Google released the smart, wireless headphones a full year after Apple released the AirPods. But the Pixel Buds aren't exactly wireless, and they're not exactly smart, either...

  • Cute little soft case, Made for folks who still like earbuds (how many are left?), Battery performance isn't bad
  • 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
  • After a week with the Google Pixel Buds, it is very hard to recommend them to anyone but the die hard Google fanboy or folks that really, really, really, really, really, really love earbuds, and we're not sure we know of many in that category.Earbuds aren...

  • Translation feature works, Decent battery life
  • Translation doesn't always work, Poor ergonomics
  • Compared to the rock-solid hardware they share their branding with, Google's Pixel Buds are unequivocally a bit disappointing. They're not comfortable to wear, they don't sound particularly great and the even the headline act of real-time translation isn'...

  • 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.Havin...
