I want to love my pixel buds, but I'm on my second pair from google and it's worse than the first pair I had. First pair was almost flawless until it the right earbud bricked itself during an overnight update. Now the new pair I got from Google randomly pauses and has static in the background in my right ear. The sound signature is perfect and the call clarity is really fine almost impressive as I've had full conversations with customers over the phone while in a loud store with a mask on. I like the idea of having portable open-back headphones, but they typically sit on my desk at home when I go out nowadays. They honestly shouldn't have priced them above their competition which was definitely a dumb move considering the lack of polish on these.
I bought a pair a couple months ago, and I've got to say it's one of the best products I've ever bought. They're just satisfyingly well made, and really intuitive to use. My only complaint is the occasional connection dropouts, which are rare, but pretty bad when they happen
@@lf2power totally anecdotal, but for me it only happens when I walk down city streets, I've always suspected it has something with the number of WiFi networks and interference from other devices. I've never had problems at home, work, or out further away from residential areas.
Do they still disconnect/loose sound for a second? I had to return my pair, I wonder if the problem was fixed....other then that great earphones I will buy it again if the problem is fixed!
Hey, I got my Pixel Buds today and I'm a bit skeptical about this one. Everything is great so far except for the battery. I started with 100% on both sides and after exactly 1 hour of continuous music I see my left bud has 64% and my right bud has 56% left. Looks odd to me to be honest. And I heard this was supposed to last 5 hours on continuous music. Did you face something similar? How much battery backup do you get generally?
@@32des honestly I don't pay to much attention to the battery life. I have two little kiddos so my listening sessions are typically short. However when doing outside doing yard work I have no problem getting up to five hours listening to music in the past. I would charge them fully and attempt to run them down again. Sometimes the battery percentages were not that accurate for me when I paid attention to it at first. Did you buy them brand new?
Yeah, they're great for running in my experience. Not sure about Android smart watches, we don't have one yet to test them with. But in general, they've been fine with any bluetooth device I've tested them with. - Josh
I'm wearing these Google Pixel Buds right now watching this video on a Google Pixel 4XL phone and the app I'm using to watch this is owned by Google. too! 🤯
I use mine on runs (as that was one of the advertised uses in the buds ad). It's a pretty bad experience. The music cuts in and out constantly, which is pretty jarring when I'm trying to enter a mindless running state. It even does it when the in ear detection is off, which is what I originally suspected was the culprit. Not moving the phone helps, but that's almost impossible when running.
You failed to mention the static noise. Who else discard this excellent product because of that unfortunate and annoying static noise? (They let me down twice)
Iv been looking to get the new pixel phone and i saw the ear buds on Googles site they say that the the google buds can do real live translation with languages but in this review i didn't hear that or you cover that so i was just wondering if thats true? I hope i get a response.?
They do, it was a feature with the original pixel buds, I just didn't have a great use case to test that out over the long term, but should have mentioned it. Thanks for commenting on that! - Josh
Literally perfect timing into posting this! I was looking into getting some new earbuds for Black Friday (but idk if they are offering any deals this year UGH) and a lot of TH-cam reviews have said Google Pixel Buds is the way to go!
I've had these from day 1 and I really love them. 2 things I wish is that the battery lasted a little bit longer and maybe more case varieties, although that's not Googles fault. I just want fun cases that the Airpods have.
Worst headphones ever. The left one drains so quickly its unusable. When I contacted google customer service they said it is a case of buyer's remorse and they won't do anything.
Bullshit. The battery life on these things is useless. I get under an hour of audio play time before having to out them in the case. Constantly drops WhatsApp calls for some reason and what gives with the battery dying at different rates on each unit? I waited months for these things. I'm so disappointed.
I had a huge love/hate relationship with these. Loved the build quality, sound quality, it was overall am extremely well built package but they didn't fit my ears and Google's incompetence to fix bugs with them that make them borderline unusable is what led me to return them.
I love my pair for everyday use, but I bought them with the intention of using them as my running headphones. They don't deal well with a lot of sweat. Had to RMA them twice. Still a killer pair of buds.
I've had mine for about 6 months now, and definitely recommend. Some initial problems with losing one ear, but as happened with you, the problems have disappeared with the software updates. The only thing I've noticed that I've never seen commented on is that after using them for a couple of hours, one or the other will sometimes have substantially lower charge remaining - it as never caused any issues though.
I like your review It was very concise. one of the issues that were fixed was that used to be this white noise when you had a phone connection with someone they were able to eliminate that completely. however I'm still having problems with the earbuds audio sound cutting in and out from time to time just very random. It doesn't happen nowhere as near as much as it did before but it still can be quite annoying. as far as phone calls are concerned I haven't had any complaints about the call quality I believe they are some of the best earbuds in the business for phone calls. Everyone says that they are my best buds. Music, I'm not a real big fan. They're okay. If you're listening to newer music then they're okay but if you listening to older music you may want to try something else. Also there are times when the Google Assistant does not respond as well as as it should. There are a lot of bugs with the pixel buds that are just very infrequent but they are annoying especially when you pay $200. But I'm sure like a dummy when they come out with their pro version of these buds I will be buying them... Lol
Update - the price is currently $239 usd minus tax. Only know since I was thinking about getting a set and was browsing reviews. Went to the site and went - "oh yeah.... chip shortage pandemic and all that."
@Amadeus Lucian it does a good job of raising the volume when you're in a subway station and when there is loud construction too or if it's really windy. Hope you enjoy them
I had to return my literally during a song, the sound would cut out at least three or four times a song... it was maddening period I bought a second pair when there was a few updates but same thing... I loved everything about them but obviously couldn't keep them with that many sound drops per song
There's many reasons that could happen, your phone could have a poor Bluetooth connection rather than the earbuds, another common reason would be they if you're streaming music ex. From Spotify or youtube, make sure the music isn't buffering and making it feel like the sound is dropping
I have pixel buds if my own and I got them about when they came out and I never experienced one disconnect but I also don't have very many phone calls so who knows

Excellent, thorough review. My old waterproof headphones are reaching EOL, so I was waiting for this to evaluate shifting to the Pixel buds. Various channels reported these issues with no follow up. Glad to see Google seems to be responding to feedback.
Questions: 1, my ear canals are small, would these fit? I'm scared of ordering these buds and then losing them. 2) Does ther Pixel 5 use any wireless charger, or is it like the Pixel 3 only fast charging on the Google stand?
This topic is kind of underrated. Most review channels use a product for a week, and then review it. I feel like 6 months is a realistic time frame to get an actual honest opinion about a product.
It's Thanksgiving and I'm in a Facebook call with my mom, after I connected my buds I said how about now what does that sound like? She said she could here me good, really really well actually
A shame they're not great on calls. For $180 they better be rock solid for everything... I purchased a pair of Elite 75t's for $140 and they're pretty great, but I wish they had better Google Assistant functionality.

Ok, I had some unanswered questions after watching this review: 1. Does it hurt if you sleep with them in your ear? (Partnered, listening to podcasts at night, fall asleep. What happens to your ears in the morning)? 2. Does running in the rain through heavy down pour, cause the buds to falsely register touch commands from rain? 3. You said water resistant, so can you listen to music and swim laps in them? TIA.
I love my pixel 6 and I was thinking about getting some pixel buds once my galaxy buds finally wear out, but I've heard so many people complain about the disconnecting and echoing issues.

Had a pair for 9 months, had the same issues with the occasional death of one of them. A full reset would fix it though and it didn't happen all that often to be a nuisance. However, the battery life degraded to the point where the left one only lasted a little over an hour, the right one just under 4. A full reset did bring the left one back to about 2 hours but obviously this was becoming a major issue which required RMA. Another annoying issue was that the right one had less volume than the left. Swapping them around confirmed it. I
To be withdrawn from the market! Often the left earphone loses the signal and the notification sound is very loud (ears hurt). These problems are confirmed by customer support. The cost does not come close to the value provided by the product. It is much better for much less.

I changed recently from iphone to pixel , really i try 3 buds for android phone 📞 no one just touch the airpods phone quality and practicality , i will go back to iphone near as i can
Unfortunately I have to send mine back for a refund, not putting up with the static buzzing especially in the right ear where it's just unbearable and impossible to use these for videos or music at lower volume as it's all you hear, quite disappointed as everything else about them is great.
Patiently waiting for Google to get its shit together with releasing a TRUE flagship smartphone & a smart watch so that I can ditch the Apple ecosystem.
Josh, that echo sound is because of the sharing detection is on - it thinks they're in two separate persons ears. since I've turned sharing detection off, I've had no such issue.
That's not why. That setting has always been off on mine and that happens to be on a regular basis. Still love my buds though. Quick pause and play usually does the trick.
@@Kozwalt ever since I've turned off sharing detection, I no longer have that issue. And pause & play did not solve it. Are we sure we're talking about the same problem?
Hi guys! I need help. I have autism and music is my life. I have used iPhone for years since their earbuds where the only ones that stayed in my ears. The rubber tips of other earbuds just don't stay. I switched to android for a better OS and now can't use my apple earbuds with their controls. I got the Galaxy Buds Live for Christmas today and loved them and their controls, but the buds are too big and hurt the bridge of my ear, even when I swap rubber wings. I'm now looking at the Pixel Buds now instead of waiting for the possibility of the Buds Pro fitting me. People with small ears: do the pixel buds work well for you? I'm desperate to get back into listening. The earbuds that came with my Galaxy s20+ were stolen from me. They didn't fit anyway but they were all I had. If anyone with really small ears can tell me about your Pixel Buds, I would really appreciate it.
Those hickups shouldn't be their in 200$ earphones. No way to buy. These days tech just overpriced, doesn't justify any tech product with the price they offer... Such a crape from Google, Apple, Samsung all big giants.
Great review! But. I just purchased these and after all updates they are unusable unless my phone is held at elbow level. I almost no situation do they allow me to walk more than 50 feet with my galaxy s7 in any of my pockets. Looking on the internet I found hundreds or more similar complaints with google promising software updates to fix the problem but never following through as of Sept 2020. I think everything he says here about the product design is true, it's great. The functionality is great the sound quality i find great...but none of that matters if the Bluetooth looses connection sporadically to one or both buds if the phone is more than 24 inches away from your ear. Now I am well past the 30 day return policy of the retailer i purchased from and I have returned to my Wal-Mart 90 dollar buds that work flawlessly. DO NOT BUY THESE UNLESS YOU CAN FIND SATISFIED USERS WHOS CONNECTION PROBLEMS ARE RESOLVED AFTER NOVEMBER 2020. If you don't believe me, and don't, Google it.

So you don't have the constant issue of having hiss / static for several seconds after pausing media? (It's actually present all the time while playing media but most noticeable when paused)
I'm a huge google person. I own the nest wifi, the home hub, the speakers, I have a pixel 5, I have owned countless products. I'm even typing this on my pixel book. But these headphones, these buds... they are not worth the money. They are trash. They are buggy, uncomfortable after long periods of time, and way to expensive for what you get. not to mention the bluetooth on these things is attrocious. I highly recommend you look elsewhere.
Disappointing to hear some audio connection issues are still present in these $180 headphones. I purchased a pair over the summer but had to return them because I had terribly annoying audio issues that occurred every 1 minute and 50 seconds during playback. This issue is well documented and has been addressed by Google but with the other issues mentioned in this video, I won't be buying these again. I'm still using the original Pixel Buds from 2017.
For those wanting slightly more reliable outgoing call quality (for the receiver) you may want to consider the Mpow MX1 or the iTeknic IK-BH006. In videos I've seen of these, I haven't heard any crackling/etc like I did in this video. Both have wireless charging too despite being rather cheap.
Very detailed review 👍🏽 thanks for not comparing with the airpods for the whole video. And couldn't find a link to buy these earbud in description, so if you don't mind can you buy send me one while I while you the money?? If okay do reply me bro.. (Living in India, that's why couldn't buy still)
i have purchased 2 pairs, and am working on returning the second now. Everytime I use them, the left earbud will disconnect, then both cut out, and reconnect and resume working. It happens a lot. Not sure if anyone else has had this issue persist, but I have had 2 pairs now that do it constantly. So disappointing given how good these buds sound.
I'm wearing these Google Pixel Buds right now watching this video on a Google Pixel 4XL phone and the app I'm using to watch this is owned by Google. 🤯
I've owned a pair of these for almost 6 months. He's right, the updates have definitely helped, but the random disconnects without an ability to reconnect unless you unpair and repair is extremely frustrating. Also, there are still random cut outs in certain environments, such as when you're lower to the ground, and when your outside for a walk or run. One other thing - I had an issue for MONTHS with the buds slipping out because I tried to stuff them inside my ear canal. The better method is to make sure the stabilizer rests in the upper portion of your ear. The fit in the ear canal doesn't matter as much. I love the sound quality, and overall, I'm glad I bought these over airpods.
Love the fact that you do a review 6 months later to really get enough time with a product to write a meaningful and informative review.

They honestly shouldn't have priced them above their competition which was definitely a dumb move considering the lack of polish on these.

Yes. Out of the blue, they go *bloop* and disconnect, for no apparent reason. I put them back in the case and reconnect them. Kind of annoying

Had a pair for 9 months, had the same issues with the occasional death of one of them. A full reset would fix it though and it didn't happen all that often to be a nuisance. However, the battery life degraded to the point where the left one only lasted a little over an hour, the right one just under 4. A full reset did bring the left one back to about 2 hours but obviously this was becoming a major issue which required RMA. Another annoying issue was that the right one had less volume than the left. Swapping them around confirmed it.

Can't wait to get mine. Its still not available here in my country. Fuck!
To be withdrawn from the market!
Often the left earphone loses the signal and the notification sound is very loud (ears hurt). These problems are confirmed by customer support.
The cost does not come close to the value provided by the product. It is much better for much less.

I changed recently from iphone to pixel , really i try 3 buds for android phone 📞 no one just touch the airpods phone quality and practicality , i will go back to iphone near as i can
Unfortunately I have to send mine back for a refund, not putting up with the static buzzing especially in the right ear where it's just unbearable and impossible to use these for videos or music at lower volume as it's all you hear, quite disappointed as everything else about them is great.
Patiently waiting for Google to get its shit together with releasing a TRUE flagship smartphone & a smart watch so that I can ditch the Apple ecosystem.
I find my Pixel Buds cut out when I'm wearing a hat. Anybody else get this issue?
Battery life is very bad. Samsung galaxy buds+ is better regarding battery life.
Such a professionally made video. Well done
Right now, Pixel Buds 2 vs Galaxy Buds Pro?
Underrated channel
Josh, that echo sound is because of the sharing detection is on - it thinks they're in two separate persons ears. since I've turned sharing detection off, I've had no such issue.
That's not why. That setting has always been off on mine and that happens to be on a regular basis. Still love my buds though. Quick pause and play usually does the trick.
@@Kozwalt ever since I've turned off sharing detection, I no longer have that issue. And pause & play did not solve it. Are we sure we're talking about the same problem?
If I wear these in the supermarket will it translate what people speaking other languages are saying?
Caught a black pair from Kohl's on sale for 129 !
How comfortable are they? I've caught myself looking for them without realising that they are in my ears already🤦. I have them on me all the time.
wonder how these would go fitting under a motorcycle helmet
Have somebody told you that you look like a Homelander from The Boys?
Thats true
Sub - SEEquent? What the fuck. It's subsequent
How do I update Google pixel buds with iOS ? So sorry I can’t access Google Assistant....
I don’t believe you can, you need an android device to update the firmware since there’s no iOS app for them.
No no sound in my Google pixel right here
Do they allow fast forward / rewind?
Hi guys! I need help. I have autism and music is my life. I have used iPhone for years since their earbuds where the only ones that stayed in my ears. The rubber tips of other earbuds just don't stay. I switched to android for a better OS and now can't use my apple earbuds with their controls. I got the Galaxy Buds Live for Christmas today and loved them and their controls, but the buds are too big and hurt the bridge of my ear, even when I swap rubber wings. I'm now looking at the Pixel Buds now instead of waiting for the possibility of the Buds Pro fitting me. People with small ears: do the pixel buds work well for you? I'm desperate to get back into listening. The earbuds that came with my Galaxy s20+ were stolen from me. They didn't fit anyway but they were all I had. If anyone with really small ears can tell me about your Pixel Buds, I would really appreciate it.
Why do the headphones hurt in the ears?
Those hickups shouldn't be their in 200$ earphones. No way to buy.
These days tech just overpriced, doesn't justify any tech product with the price they offer... Such a crape from Google, Apple, Samsung all big giants.
Great review! But. I just purchased these and after all updates they are unusable unless my phone is held at elbow level. I almost no situation do they allow me to walk more than 50 feet with my galaxy s7 in any of my pockets. Looking on the internet I found hundreds or more similar complaints with google promising software updates to fix the problem but never following through as of Sept 2020. I think everything he says here about the product design is true, it's great. The functionality is great the sound quality i find great...but none of that matters if the Bluetooth looses connection sporadically to one or both buds if the phone is more than 24 inches away from your ear. Now I am well past the 30 day return policy of the retailer i purchased from and I have returned to my Wal-Mart 90 dollar buds that work flawlessly. DO NOT BUY THESE UNLESS YOU CAN FIND SATISFIED USERS WHOS CONNECTION PROBLEMS ARE RESOLVED AFTER NOVEMBER 2020. If you don't believe me, and don't, Google it.
I got my Pixel Buds today and I'm a bit skeptical about this one. Everything is great so far except for the battery. I started with 100% on both sides and after exactly 1 hour of continuous music I see my left bud has 64% and my right bud has 56% left. Looks odd to me to be honest. And I heard this was supposed to last 5 hours on continuous music.
Any Pixel Buds user can help me out here please?
They buggy as fuck I have them
So you don't have the constant issue of having hiss / static for several seconds after pausing media? (It's actually present all the time while playing media but most noticeable when paused)
Honestly feel like there are too many inconveniences and compromises when using bluetooth earbuds/headphones. Still using wires earbuds and headphones
I'm a huge google person. I own the nest wifi, the home hub, the speakers, I have a pixel 5, I have owned countless products. I'm even typing this on my pixel book. But these headphones, these buds... they are not worth the money. They are trash. They are buggy, uncomfortable after long periods of time, and way to expensive for what you get. not to mention the bluetooth on these things is attrocious. I highly recommend you look elsewhere.
Disappointing to hear some audio connection issues are still present in these $180 headphones. I purchased a pair over the summer but had to return them because I had terribly annoying audio issues that occurred every 1 minute and 50 seconds during playback. This issue is well documented and has been addressed by Google but with the other issues mentioned in this video, I won't be buying these again. I'm still using the original Pixel Buds from 2017.
For those wanting slightly more reliable outgoing call quality (for the receiver) you may want to consider the Mpow MX1 or the iTeknic IK-BH006. In videos I've seen of these, I haven't heard any crackling/etc like I did in this video. Both have wireless charging too despite being rather cheap.
Very detailed review 👍🏽 thanks for not comparing with the airpods for the whole video.
And couldn't find a link to buy these earbud in description, so if you don't mind can you buy send me one while I while you the money?? If okay do reply me bro.. (Living in India, that's why couldn't buy still)
i have purchased 2 pairs, and am working on returning the second now. Everytime I use them, the left earbud will disconnect, then both cut out, and reconnect and resume working. It happens a lot. Not sure if anyone else has had this issue persist, but I have had 2 pairs now that do it constantly. So disappointing given how good these buds sound.
I'm wearing these Google Pixel Buds right now watching this video on a Google Pixel 4XL phone and the app I'm using to watch this is owned by Google. 🤯
Brilliant review. I’m an iPhone user so it’s a shame that they don’t integrate as well with iOS. Hopefully that’s an improvement down the line?
I wanted to buy pixel buds 2 in India but sadly it's not available here, can you/somebody help me to get those pixel buds?
I've owned a pair of these for almost 6 months. He's right, the updates have definitely helped, but the random disconnects without an ability to reconnect unless you unpair and repair is extremely frustrating. Also, there are still random cut outs in certain environments, such as when you're lower to the ground, and when your outside for a walk or run.
One other thing - I had an issue for MONTHS with the buds slipping out because I tried to stuff them inside my ear canal. The better method is to make sure the stabilizer rests in the upper portion of your ear. The fit in the ear canal doesn't matter as much.
I love the sound quality, and overall, I'm glad I bought these over airpods.
