First note: the Google Pixel 8 Pro phone refuses to play nicely with many other TWS. Many Samsung and Bose models/varieties became almost unusable, pressuring me into using "Made for Google" compatible gear, like the Pixel Buds Pro. I am still resentful of this, as it seems deliberate... Regardless, all of the feedback below is especially true if you pair with a Pixel phone or related Google device. Overall, they are excellent. They are very small, light, and comfortable buds, and the case is small and well-designed. The fit is surprisingly secure; I use them primarily at the gym while training and in the car. Features and connectivity are excellent. The sound quality is far better than I expected (I'm a pro audiophile reviewer), more than good enough for out and about. Noise cancellation is above average, not the best. The upside is that the ANC is not intrusive or disorienting. Transparency mode is excellent, and call handling and quality are above average. I have minor nitpicks... the white case very quickly picks up scratches and dark marks. With the fit and touch sensitivity near the edges, it's easy to take unwanted actions when inserting and removing the earbuds. More ear tips should be included, and you may have to find better alternatives to ensure you have the best fit and ear tip seal (look to Dekoni Audio for better tips).

These buds are everything I want out of earbuds at this price point. They last a full work day (8-10 hours in my case), the sound quality is excellent, people can hear me clearly on calls, and the transparency mode is more than adequate for my infrequent need of it. The touch controls are responsive and easy to use as well. Finally, they are comfortable in my ears all day. They stay firmly in the ear, without slipping or falling out. I do have a pixel phone, so I can't speak to how they perform without the pixel-specific features.

Lost my old Pixel Buds A when they fell out of my pocket somewhere on a 20 hour road trip. So in a pinch I purchased these, and I could not be happier. 20 hours and driving 14 of them straight in a noisy rickety car is an adventure but these changed the road trip and made my time behind the wheel more comfortable. During sections of highway where there high winds, rain, and snow I was able to turn on the noise canceling feature to create an experience where I didn't have to fear every noise was a panel falling (car is an econobox). On top of the clarity of the music, the comfort of the ear buds, and the ease of use, there is the ability to use transparency mode, which I do know a lot of other brands have but the experience I had with these surpassed the ones I've tried in the past. Things to also not, wireless charging, speed of charging and longevity, clarity and quality. Would recommend to anyone looking for comfortable earbuds with good quality noise canceling and audio clarity. Final note here, I'm neurodivergent. There are products I use to keep certain senses in check when I become feeling overwhelmed. I use Loops for day to day interactions and work. For music when I'm out an about or at home and don't want to use the speakers I wear these. I wear them everyday for at least 2 hours, I found them to be extremely comfortable and easy to use when I need quiet. I'll recommend these as quality earbuds but also as a nice alternative when you need to dull external stimulation but provide comfort.
