I reviewed the new Pixel Buds. They're a huge improvement over Google's very meh first attempt at earbuds. Check out my written review and don't miss @BeccaFarsace's FANTASTIC video. https://www.theverge.com/... https://twitter.com/...

Considering the always active Google Assistant, I'm sure these are first truly wireless earbuds you would want to wear at all times. Are we coming tantalizingly close to living the reality of “Her?” https://twitter.com/...

@BeccaFarsace @chriswelch Some Bluetooth connection oddities, more than I expected in 2020, anyway. Motly, though, I like how low-profile they are. I like to bike with one earbud in, one out, and Pixel Buds don't go flying when I take off my helmet.

@BeccaFarsace @chriswelch The venting is also so good. Even better than AirPods Pro and miles better than Galaxy Buds Plus. They're so comfortable ...until hour three when they feel stabby. Which, you knnow, battery life isn't superb anyway so? https://www.youtube.com/...

Like @BeccaFarsace and @chriswelch, I've been testing the Pixel Buds. 100% endorse everything they say in this review and video. The thorn feels like a thorn after hour three, but sound quality is aces (minus bass). https://www.theverge.com/...
