As a person with many experiences washing my cellphones, a word of advice… make a big sign and tape it to your washing machine that reads, “Locate ear buds and phone before washing!”
That might save you hundreds of dollars someday. 😊

I was one of the suckers that bought the expensive one with all of the connectivity issues. It bothers me that instead of making those work better or maybe coming out with a new generation that fixed all the problems they decide to go budget and leave us who bought the more expensive version out to dry. I hope they are coming out with a new version of the expensive kind.

I agree; if you already own the 2020 true wireless pixel buds than this is a bit underwhelming. And no volume swipe function is a pass for me. ( I own 2 ‘ clearly white & quite mint ‘ use them both !)

It’s hard to pay for major name brand wireless earbuds when one can easily find some better quality and features for less on Amazon, for about half the price of these. With active noise cancellation at that.

There has to be a premium version in the works, otherwise why bother with wireless battery share on the pixel 5?

I’ve been wanting some wireless buds but never really pulled the trigger because of the price (I’m a bit frugle with phones/phone accessories) but this has me interested. The reason why I’ve always wanted to choose the Google buds over any other pair was the translator, I thought it was a cool feature. Anyone with Google buds, do you even use Google translate, should I just go for another pair of buds that are around the same price point that maybe a bit better? I feel I’m being a bit silly wanting to buy google buds over another product because of something I may use as a few times lol

Had the soundcore air pro 2 but lost one side. And they don’t sell separate replacements 😒 so I’m glad these are out. Get the buds to go with my 4a 5g 😁 btw, the soundcore sounded great. Much better than the similarly priced airpods.
Eli Daw
June 4, 2021 at 10:34 pm
Do we reckon that because google is offering a cheaper wireless earbud that the Pixel 5a won’t have a headphone jack?
Marcus Young
June 4, 2021 at 11:13 pm
Pixel buds 2 would’ve been great if connectivity wasn’t an issue, u have the swipe gestures, sound was decent, fit was secure only problem was the ear buds cutting in and out.. if these were an upgrade I would be hesitant on getting them bcuz of that connection issue, however they DO sound better than the AirPods Pro’s but the pro’s are better with connection

Why, in the shot of the buds on the rooftop from about 0:28 to 0:34, does the unit appear to wobble or shiver? Makes it look like a super-imposed 2D image…

How do you get 19 extra hours from the case? How does that work?
TheAngryEdd
June 5, 2021 at 12:15 pm
you charge the case, which charges up to 19 hours. And then whilst the earphones are in the case, it’ll charge them up to 5 hours. So essentially every time you pop the earphones back into the case they charge back up, but you only have 19 hours until the case runs out before you have to put the case on charge again.

No marketing around pixel buds A other than a ‘coming soon’ landing page.. pretty weird for a massive tech company. Also, im struggling to understand why i wouldnt spend £30 more and get a more premium product from Jabra etc. Not really sure if these are the best choice to be honest, perhaps I need to wait for the Pixel buds 3.

For 100 dollars, they could’ve added mechanical controls on these buds- if not touch controls. You don’t wanna reach for you device when running or commuting, you’ll rather tap on your bud and change a song. Voice commands don’t work that great in my native tongue anyway.

June 6, 2021 at 3:37 pm
I have the Galaxy buds and they are a nightmare! They are so uncomfortable, they battery life is wishy washy, a lot of the time one side will die way before the other. At times the case doesn’t even charge them in-between so I don’t remember to charge them the night prior then I’m screwed. Making and taking calls are unbearable as well. They also won’t connect to the galaxy app so I can’t even get the benefits from that either…Ugh! I’m sold on these pixel buds!

I’ve had 3 replacement pairs of the Pixel Buds 2s. They are perfect indoor, but useless outdoor. Terrible sound quality, static, and alternating sound depending which side I hold my Pixel phone.
