Google Pixel Buds A-Series - Wireless Earbuds - Headphones with Bluetooth - Compatible with Android - Dark Olive

I was kind of skeptical at first when I decided to buy these - there were other earbuds I was considering at the time at around the same price range, and I had a pair of $20 buds at home that were still somewhat working. But, I decided to take a shot and honestly, I'm really surprised with how well these work.Bluetooth communication between the buds and my Pixel 6 have been amazing outside of one weird incident towards the beginning where music was choppy, but a quick restart on my phone fixed that. I've left my phone in my office a few times, and I can get a pretty good distance before noticing dropouts too, so it's nice not to always need the phone on my hip for these to work. Though, these do not support multipoint - afraid if you want to connect to multiple devices at the same time with a Pixel bud, you'll need to step up to the Pixel Buds Pro.Audio quality has been really good as well. I'm no audiophile by any means, but I do listen to a lot of EDM/Techno/Jazz and nothing really sounds muted. There is a setting to do Bass Boost within the Bluetooth settings that silently get installed when pairing the Buds for the first time to your phone, but I've yet to experiment with it. ANC isn't a feature on here, but just the fit of the earbuds do isolate the music to some degree from the world around. And the fit was surprisingly comfortable - the extra wing of support keeps the buds in place well that I rarely have to adjust them.Lastly, I was kind of worried about the battery before purchasing. I'd prefer something that would last my whole work day, and surprisingly, these do! Mind you, I typically only have a single bud in while I'm working because a lot of people walk into my office, but I'll swap buds around lunch time when it starts to get low on battery. They charge quickly - I'd say I could pull out my bud in about 20 minutes to it being mostly, if not fully charged. From this, I'd say I get about a week's worth of battery charge with the case.My only major complaint is that I hate that there's no tactile buttons on the buds themselves. You have to tap the G on your earbuds to bring up the Assistant, stop/play music, etc. but sometimes I'll be tapping all around the bud just trying to find that sweet spot because touch detection can be a little iffy. But, compared to my previous earbud set, this is a significant upgrade.

This is my second pair of Pixel Buds A Series and I love them just as much as the first. They are super comfortable and I can wear them for hours without even noticing. I bought them in the soft blue and the color is really pretty in person. The sound quality is great for the price. Clear, crisp, and perfect for everyday use. Definitely worth it.

im honestly really impressed with these things. ive bought a lot of wireless ear buds over the years and have really failed to find a pair that 1. stay in my ears and 2. sound great relative to the price. even airpods and airpod pros were a disappointment to me when i used apple. these are the best everyday wireless earbuds ive ever used.the biggest pro is the fin that helps keep them in your ears. i dont why, but so many audio companies just stopped designing fins into their earbuds and its nice to see that google actually cares if these things stay in your ears or not. the fin design is great and functional and they dont move at all in my ears for long periods. i also havent had any connection issues with these over the past few weeks. they never take long to pair, randomly disconnect and reconnect, or randomly pair while their in the case. these just work like they should and its nice to experience. they also sound great for what you pay for them. im not an audiophile but the sound on these have really impressed me. I have a pair of sony wf-1000xm4s that i use at work and those sound truly incredible with the anc on and while these dont have anc i would say they do sound impressive when turned up louder and the eq is perfect for the music i listen to. the case is also great and i love the shape. and the battery is great also. ive only had to change them once since i got them a few weeks ago.i love these things as an everyday carry. they look great, sound great, and work great. if you use android you should really look into these.
