Great gift idea!

Bought these for my son as a holiday gift. He reports that they are the most comfortable earbuds he has ever worn. He is very impressed with the sound quality. When he calls me wearing them, I can hear him much more clearly on my end of the phone! The microphone picks up every sound available. He loves the case and says they charge super fast.

Mission accomplished!

I chose to replace my Jabra Elite Active 65t earbuds with the Pixel Buds for two reasons. Most important was that I could not get a secure fit with the Jabras so that while on the treadmill and even on walks, they always felt loose and often fell out. Second, the Jabras sporadically refused to connect with my phone unless I either replaced them in their case or restarted my phone -- an annoying problem. So far, the Pixel Buds, with their arcs that fits in my ear, have never come close to falling out. The are reasonably comfortable and their comfort is enhanced by my not having to worry about them while on the move. And since I have a Pixel phone, connecting the Buds is like a dream compared with the Jabras -- instantaneous! The touch controls on the Buds are very sensitive, which means no problem in adjusting volume, switching music tracks, answering phone, etc. -- once you know the controls. My only problem is that I'm so used to having to check to see that my Jabras were secure that I keep needlessly touching the Buds and inadvertently stopping the music or podcast That should no longer be a problem once the old habit dies! The sound is decent, but if you're an audiophile, you could surely do better, and you might then want noise cancelling, too. For me, music on walks sounds fine and podcasts are clear, and I'm happy.

Finally they are right

They started a little rough with the audio cutouts, but now that the firmware updates have come out, these are amazing! Perfect sound and fit (They come with three sizes of earplugs). Wireless charging, location detection, and so much more. Thanks for finally fixing the Bluetooth issue Google!

Google Nest Pixel Buds (2nd Generation)

I usually have trouble with ear buds, but these fit and stay put. The controls take a bit of getting used to, but I like them.

Great Earbuds...Bad Bluetooth Connectivity

Great Earbuds except for one annoying issue. When you put your phone in your pocket (ie. to exercise) they keep cutting out. Very annoying when every 5th word cuts out. The controls work great. Tap to skip, swipe to adjust volume. Excellent!!!

Not worth the money for music

If you are purchasing these earbuds to listen to music look somewhere else. I would rate them fair to dismal when it comes to sound quality. I have a pair of 20-year-old, wired, in-ear cheapo JVC ear phones which sound remarkably better than these. This is disappointing because my main reason for purchasing these was to listen to music while at work. I am using these with a Pixel 3A. Set up and connectivity have been a snap. It took about 3 seconds for the phone to set itself up. Phone calls seem to work very well. Everyone I talk to has said I sound crystal clear with a little background noise or interference. Because of this I will keep them, but considering the price and knowing what I know now I would not buy these again. They seem to have about a 4-hour battery life. Which is much shorter than expected. This is with listening to music with the occasional phone call. They do charge very quickly but it looks like the charging case is good for about one and a half charges before the charging case needs to be recharged. Giving me about a day and a half of actual run time. I have found myself just plugging in once a day to charge. If you are comfortable with in-ear earbuds I found these to be the same as all others I've tried.

Almost Great

The second gen pixel buds are only good for certain things. The buds either let in too much ambient noise in a loud room, or you can hear faint hissing all the time in a quiet room (with podcasts or quiet music). This means you have to be active (running, working out, shopping, etc.) to not notice these huge annoyances. Fit and finish is great, sound quality is pretty good for this segment, and they are insanely easy to use. But they can never be good for just listening to music or podcasts, especially at $179. I really wanted to like these a lot, but the drawbacks outweigh everything else. Side note: My left earbud is consistently much louder than my right earbud, which is likely a problem with my specific pair as it doesn't seem to be a common issue. This hasn't been fixed by a firmware update so I'll be returning these, and am unsure if I will buy another pair or look elsewhere.

Fit issues

They might be perfect for people with small ears but the installed fin did nothing for me as far as making these secure. The sound quality is on par with Apple Airpods (Gen 1)

Solid, well designed but one quark

They are well designed and the quality is great. The touch controls are easy and work well too. They work well with my Pixel phone. However, I continue to have issues with the audio cutting out when I am using them connected to my PC and using them on MS Teams calls.

Great Android earbuds!

Great wireless earbuds for Android users! Sound great, with the added convenience of having the Google assistant system ready at any moment.

LOVE these!

I absolutely love these earbuds. They are really comfortable, I forget I have them in. The battery life isn't great but since I only wear one at a time, it doesn't bother me much. I just switch one out for the other. I love having Google Assistant on the earbuds.

Great sound, excellent fit!

Bought these as a gift for my wife. She is a big fan of the Google suite of software and uses pretty much all of the features on her Google Pixel 4. After spending a few short minutes to pair and set up the ear buds, it was immediately clear that these were the perfect choice for her. First, you can completely control your phone with simple hand gestures on the side of your buds. You also have access to the Google assistant which is nice if you need to stay hands free. The sound quality is excellent and provides very nice, full and rich sound. It's almost as if you're sitting in a large concert hall. I am no professional, but I have spent over 25 years in the home audio world and would rate these as a very worthy pair of ear buds. Perhaps if you spent two or three times the price you may notice a difference. The fit on these is also excellent. I have tried many ear buds and typically have a hard time finding ones that are comfortable while sitting securely in my ear in addition to providing great sound. These ear buds seal nicely in your ear, stay secure, and sound great! If you are like me, and have tried the super popular buds from that other giant corporation, only to be sorely disappointed by the fit and the sound, then give these a try. They were exactly what I was looking for and far exceeded my expectations in every way.
