Best staying ear buds!
Literally the most comfortable staying ear buds under any circumstances. Sound nor battery are the best, but okay and definitely worth it!

They do the job for what I needed
I’ll be honest, I loose technology….often. As a result I never bought expensive earbuds. I would always buy the $30 and under option because inevitably I was going to misplace them and could not stomach the idea of loosing a $100 item within a few weeks of purchase. However after 3 years of COVID required zoom calls my coworkers chipped in and bought me the Google pixel buds. There was an immediate difference for me in regards to what I could hear and the experience for anyone talking to me on the other side. Here are the highlights1. The noise cancellation works well. In the past people would complain they can’t hear me clearly because of all the background noise. As if I were at a construction site when I simply was opening a bag of chips!2. Sound quality is perfect. Can’t tell you how many times with other earbuds I would be told can you get closer to the phone, or that I sounded far away, or was I underwater etc etc. But with these it’s Crystal clear no issues at all.3. Battery lasts long enough. I find that these last most of my work day. I tend to average about five hours of meetings a day and in that capacity they last.4. Charge speed is quick. When I do need to charge these for from 0-100% in like 20mins. To be fair I don’t think I have ever let them get to 0. Overall I don’t find myself charging them often and the charging case really does do a good job of charging the actual buds quickly if I do run into a problem.5. Ear buds do slip out. I have found an occasion that a slight tap will accidentally send the earbuds falling out of my ear. I’ve changed the size of the ear cushion but doesn’t really seem to lock in well like other earbuds I have tried. So that is one point off for them but nothing insurmountable that would detract from the overall score.Overall for the price I think these are great. So much so that I did in fact lose the ones my coworker bought me within about 6 weeks and ended up buying my own pair thankfully they were on sale. We’ll see how long these last before I lose them!

Decent
I ordered these for my Pixel 6 Pro because I needed bluetooth headphones quickly, otherwise I would have waited for the new Pro buds that came out a short while after I ordered these.Overall, I like these but I have a few issues.One, all three ear fitting sizes don’t work great with the shape of my ear canal, I guess, because they are pushed out and I am constantly pushing them back in. They have almost fallen in the trash, down the sink and in the litter box when I have leaned/bent over. I am not using these buds during physical activity such as running or working out, this is just in the kitchen while cooking or doing household chores. This is inconvenient and aggravating. If I did some research, I am sure I could find other shapes in ear fittings to remedy this issue, and this issue does not reflect on the quality of the headphones themselves.Two, the battery life. For music and talking on the phone, I find the battery life to be as much as one should expect but not as much I would want. I hope the Pro buds have longer battery duration. I use my ear buds everyday, for as little as an hour/2 hours for talking on the phone, or as long for music. I understand not everyone will need to be on the phone as long as I do, but if you were looking for these for working from home or instead of a headset at work, they aren’t advisable for that.Three, the noise filter/cancelation. When using in the car, I have had complaints of the road/wind/traffic being louder than my voice to the person am talking to. Also, I have had complaints that noises like doing dishes/opening a bag to add to the trash can is extremely loud to the person on the other end. For noise cancelation, I think it does decent enough but I think the feature the Pro has called Transparency mode where you can fade in/out of cancelation would be more useful.These are comfortable in your ear when they aren’t popping out, the sound quality of the music and the voice of the other person on a phone call is great. The voice assistant I haven’t used much but it’s been very responsive when I have used it. I can’t call my husband via voice because he is saved as ‘hubby’ in my contacts, and when I ask Google to call Hubby, she says, ok what’s your husband’s name? then can’t find him in my phone. Oh well. All in all these headphones are worth getting over off-brands, but I would save for the Pros if I was honest.

A great set of Earbuds for a non-premium price
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.

surprisingly great everyday earbuds for andriod users
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.

Yes please.
I love these earbuds. I LOVE THEM.I’ve always been an over the ear earbuds wearer. I hate inner ear earbuds. They’ve never been comfortable for me, and my ears have always hurt after wearing them. I’ve tried different sizes to make sure the fit was good, but it just never felt right in the past.I received my first pair of earbuds for free from Google with the purchase of one of their phones a year ago. I was super skeptical, but hey. It was free.When I tried them on, I was so surprised. They were comfortable, and they actually stayed in my ears. They didn’t fall out. The grip was strong, but it didn’t feel like I was wearing anything at all. After I tried wearing them on a few walks with my dogs to make sure they didn’t hurt my ears from prolonged use, I was super happy with the results. No discomfort. No pain. Heck yeah! These were my new favorite earbuds.Six months later, I left my earbuds out on the coffee table while I was doing some cleaning. When I came back in, I discovered one of my dogs had gotten them and chewed them to pieces.So here I am. I immediately came to Amazon and bought a new pair on the spot, because I need these in my life. I got my new pair, and they’re still as comfortable as ever.5/5, don’t leave them near your dogs.

Google Pixel Buds A-Series: Not Perfect, But a Great Option for Android Users
The Google Pixel Buds A-Series are a great pair of wireless earbuds for those who are looking for a good value. They offer good sound quality, a comfortable fit, and a long battery life.The Pixel Buds A-Series fit snugly in the ear, but they are not too tight. They come with three different sizes of ear tips, so you can find the perfect fit for your ears.The Pixel Buds A-Series sound great for the price. The earbuds also support the AAC and SBC codecs.The Pixel Buds A-Series have a long battery life. The earbuds themselves can last up to 2-3 hours on a single charge, and the charging case can provide an additional 4-6 times battery life.The Google Pixel Buds A-Series are a great pair of wireless earbuds for those who are looking for a good value. They offer good sound quality, a comfortable fit, a long battery life, and a few of the same features as the more expensive Pixel Buds Pro.However, the lack of a base is a major drawback. If you are looking for a pair of wireless earbuds that work with both Android and Apple phones, then you may want to consider a different pair of earbuds.Overall, the Google Pixel Buds A-Series are a great pair of wireless earbuds for those who are looking for a good value and who have an Android phone.

Great sound and call quality, but difficult to pair
I bought these because I tried some cheaper versions of Bluetooth earbuds that were not adequate. I’ve really enjoyed using these. I have unusually small ears and they hurt after a while if I haven’t had them in. If I wear them a lot, my ears get used to them. I love that they have the little wing to keep them in place so I don’t have to worry about them falling out! My only complaint is that they can be difficult to pair. There is a really specific process you have to follow and the earbuds have to be placed a certain way so they are connecting with the case the right way in order to pair. Make sure to get familiar with the instructions! You also can’t control the volume if you are connected to a PC which I found really strange.

Good sound, not good fit
These don’t disappoint in sound or operation, but I’m not a fan of the fit and they must constantly be adjusted or they will fall out. They come with three tips and I switched from medium to large because of a loose fit. However, the large just tends to push out of my ears. Should have gone through more extensive consumer testing before this was released to the market.

So these earbuds are about 3-4x the price of the cheapest wireless buds but you get 10x the value so it’s a good deal. Sound is good, connection to phone is good. This product is EASY to use unlike the no-name earbuds. Satisfied.

I love them, but… Disconnect/Reconnect?
They randomly disconnect from my phone during music sometimes, and then reconnect moments later. Kind of irritating as they’re really expensive, and I could have gotten a better set of earbuds for the price. I bought them on sale, and I can’t really complain. They’re really nice. I just hope they don’t keep doing that.

Still trying it out
I like the form (lays very flat in the ear) and the google assistant feature – pretty fast and responsive. Sound quality is not great and passive sound isolation is also not great. Debating on keeping these or the sound core – which sound better but stick out of the year a bit more.

Hard to get earbuds to fit? Buy these
I have a terrible time getting earbuds to fit and stay in my ears. Apple earbuds (every version), JBL, off brand. I’ve tried 5 different earbuds and they all fall out. I’ve even tried getting the memory foam tips from other sellers. The tips didn’t help either. From the first moment they were in my ears I knew that I’d found the right earbuds. I love them. AND they are the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever owned. I don’t even notice they’re there.

Decent sound, lack of customization and time outs
It was time to replace my old earbuds (JBLs) and I thought I’d get something a little nicer. I’m using a Pixel phone, so getting the matching buds made sense.For the most part, these have been great. I only have a few complaints:- They disconnect when I’m not using them for a while. I wish I could set the time on this, but I can’t figure it out. My old JBLs also did this, but when I pressed the button they reconnected. With the Pixel buds, I have to remove them, put them back in the case, take them out, and hope that I waited long enough. Sometimes just pausing for a brief conversation is long enough to make them disconnect.- The tap controls can’t be adjusted. I listen to a lot of audio books, so I mostly want to “Start” and “Pause”. I don’t want to skip to the next chapter because I may have hit the ear bud too many times by accident. I haven’t found a way to change the commands, even though there’s a part of the app that shows them to me.

Brand new and bass DOES work
Sealed in plastic wrap and with unopened box. I bought 2 pairs. One for me and one for my husband. As for the ones complaining about bass, it’s due to your settings on them. NOT the buds themselves. This can be changed in your settings. I will leave picture of where to find it and what the default is set on them. 10/10 recommend! I use my friends prime account so my name are on these pixels buds that I set.

The noise cancellation on these earbuds are fantastic. I bought these to be a little bit more discreet when listening to podcasts and music at work instead of my over the ear headphones. Battery life could be better and I wish this product had the wireless charging feature, but having it plugged in to charge isn’t that big of a deal. Great product to go with my Google Pixel 6 phone

Charge life isn’t great.
They are super comfortable in my ears. I love the sleek look. But I have to be honest I am highly disappointed that the charge does not last as long as my raycons did. I went days before recharging my raycons. These however I have to charge every day or few hours. Unless I have a defective headset. But not impressed.

Acceptable
I bought these used for a reasonable price, so I cannot really complain. They work really good, I cannot hear much of anything outside of the headphones unless someone is blasting music very loudly. Once again these are used so they do tend to sorta go in and out of volume from time to time not sure if that’s normal for new ones or not.. other than that.. I love them! The only ear buds that stay in my ear and never fall out

Assistant is a very overlooked feature
I’ve tried many earbuds and these are similar in quality. However these have a few things many others don’t.1 the ability to immediately speak to the assistant without having to use your hands at all while the phone is in your pocket is great. I can verbally skip ahead in my podcasts while my hands are busy at work.Cons1 they don’t get very loud2 battery life isn’t great, but thaty the price for having the always on assistant turned on2 having the same touch controls on both earbuds needs to be more standard. I love being able to play/pause, skip, and reverse regardless which side I’m wearing (I wear one side at a time so that I can keep the other charged.3 many others say they do noise cancelling for phone calls, but these seem to have an extra layer of phone call quality. I work outside so I’m often in noisy environments and people don’t complain when I’m talking on them.

Great Value for the Money
For the price, these are outstanding earbuds. Lacks active noise cancellation as well as touch controls for volume control, but the fit is super comfortable (I have never had to worry about them falling out during exercise) and still provides great sound and excellent bass ranges even lacking the ANC. Battery life is average – could be better, but it fits in well with the Google ecosystem if you use a lot of Google products.Overall, for sub-$100, these blow anything else in a similar price range out of the water.

They’re FINE.
Ok, so I really only bought these because I was curious about the difference between the $10-20 earbuds I was used to using (with no real functional complaints) versus a more expensive, near-premium experience. I had also just bought a Pixel phone, so I figured, what the heck, let’s get the ecosystem since I’d never fully done that before (I also bought the Pixel watch). And honestly, while they’re fine and the audio is great and the easy connection to a Google phone is convenient, I’m not sure it’s $60-80 better than the cheap stuff we buy and replace all the time. I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s nice to have Google assistant on call, handsfree, especially after I’ve gotten so used to using it at home that I sometimes call out to Google in public places only to catch myself mid ”Hey Goo-.” But honestly, most earbuds at least allow you to press and call Google or Alexa, so again, my quibble isn’t we with the buds being good. They are. But if you’re a practical spender like me and also have a tight budget (or just don’t want to spend more than you have to), I’d put it like this: these earbuds are more than worth the money if calling Google assistant anywhere, at anytime with just a whisper is super important to you. Otherwise, save a few bucks and get something in the $40-60 range and you’ll still get 95% of what comes with these. But if you have the money to spend and don’t care too much, yeah, these are fine. They fit fine, they last for a decent amount of time, and the charging case feels premium. But I was a bit underwhelmed after using em for a bit because I guess I expected something that would fundamentally raise my expectations for earbuds moving forward and I don’t think these did that. I’ll probably still switch between these and my $10 buds from time to time, probably keeping these in the car since the house wired with Google inside.
