Using these with a Pixel 2 XL while I wait for my Pixel 5. These are the first set of bud style headphones that I have owned that are comfortable and stay in my ear. When I compare these with other premium bud style headphones, I feel like these offer the best bang for your buck on Android.

I never tired the airpods but these are great. The sound is just perfect not to low or loud and they fit great. I was worried they will fall off but no they fit like great and perfect size. Overall a great product . Just wish they would already come out with different colors but hopefully soon !

Have these paired with my Pixel 4XL and dont have any real problems. Sound is great and pair fast and decent battery for my usage. My only "gripe" is some apps do not use the media controls of headphones (play pause skip) but I have had that with any set I have had so more of an app problem.

Works really well with my Pixel.
Pros: Decent sound quality, Great control interface, Google assistant, good case, holds charge well.
Cons: Can't connect to multiple devices at the same time, falls off sometimes from my ear (maybe I should try a different sized plugs).

So far, so good. I've been using these for only about a week now and am impressed. They came fully charged out of the box and automatically connected to my computer without me doing anything. Great sound and very comfortable. I hope they stand up for the long run.

These fit in the ear great, have auto pause features when you remove them from your ear and are the perfect companion buds for Google Pixel users. They are plenty loud and have made life so much easier by eliminating wires. I get about 4 days of use between charging the case.

I love these ear buds
Google has truly outdone themselves with the redesign.
The tech in them along with the capabilities these buds are well designed and so good.
Only snag is the connectivity between them, but they said that there is an update coming out to fix that.

These headphones are such a great purchase. They are well worth the money for such good quality. They come with various sizes so they fit your ear perfectly. They have amazing sound and touch features. You can't forget the colors, I'm obsessed with the mint blue!

I had to order this online since there were none in my area. I waited about a week to receive them and then one of the buds didn't work, so I exchanged them for Jabra Elite 75T since I wasn't patient enough to wait even longer for a replacement.
Since one of the buds worked, I can give some information. I will say that they are very comfortable and the features seemed like they could be really ahead of their time, and they looked and felt amazing. Even the case felt nice. To be honest, they looked and felt higher quality than the Jabras I got but because of the air holes that make them so comfortable, they block out very little sound. They also don't make a seal on your ear so the sound quality suffers a lot compared to other headphones.
Also, as you've probably seen, these buds had a rocky product launch but have apparently completely changed for the better after several firmware updates. Here is the thing that bothered me the most. During my troubleshooting, I thought that maybe I just needed to update the firmware. The instructions said something to the effect of "The firmware will update in the background. It takes about ten minutes to load the firmware onto the buds while they're turned on and then when you put them in the case and close it to turn them off, they install the update which should take another ten minutes, and stopping the update process would resume if it was interrupted at any point."
In theory that sounds great, but in practice they take WAY more than 10 minutes to update and there is NO status indicator anywhere to tell you the status of the update, so I ended up spending 6 hours alternating between having them on and turning them off and just hoping they would update.
For a product that relies so heavily on Firmware updates to solve so many very publicized issues, I'm really confused why they haven't added some kind of update status indicator somewhere in the app to make the process as pain-free as possible.
I have a Google Home, Google Nest Wifi, and just received the Pixel 5 after using the Pixel XL for years, so I was very disappointed and frustrated with the whole interaction.

I bought these on sale to go with my Pixel phone. They paired easily. I like the integration with Google Assistant. They sound good - I have other ear buds with more thump but these are good enough. I haven't tried the base boost feature yet. The sale price made these an excellent value.

Great sound quality, though the fit can be uncomfortable. There are different size options to help get the fit right, though using the earbuds too long kind of gives me a headache. I prefer the old Apple earbuds that came with the earlier iPhone models, but maybe I just need to get more used to these.

Although the sound, convenience and look of the ear buds are perfect, they are a bit uncomfortable. Everyone's ear shape is different & this might not be the case for each person. This is the only complaint. I waited to buy them and sure enough they went on sale. Was very happy with the price.

Nice looking, very comfortable, and excellent sound but not very good range. When at the gym one ear bud will briefly loose a signal. It happens several times while in the gym.
Also note: I own a Google Pixel 4A 5G phone. Thinking that the Google Pixels Buds would work best with my phone.

Quality is good.
Battery life is good too.
Had some disconnects mostly when connected to laptop.
Microphone was noisy connected to laptop a couple of times but never while connected to cellphone. I believe this is a software issue and gets fixed soon.
It doesn't fall out of my hears.

Airpods pro for android.

If you are an android owner especially a Google Pixel owner, you can not go wrong with these.
Huge pro for me is how integrated in the Android OS they are. As soon as you open then shows they are connected. No additional software for Pixels phones is required everything is baked into android.
Features Find my buds, EQ, Adaptive sound. Sound quality is top notch and NO DELAY or LIP SYNC issues no matter what you watch.
Cons for me is
1. No adjustable wing tips. They are fixed and you can swap on the the piece that goes in your ear.
2. No APTX support
3. Battery life I would say is a little below average but quick to charge via USB C or wireless charging.
Bottom line if you wants some really well rounded headphones go for these if you are android user you will be happy

This is my first crack at wireless buds. I have waited and researched several brands (non-iphone) and these seemed to meet my needs and wants.
Material - the buds and the case are of very good quality. Made from good plastic and does not feel cheap or flimsy.
Design - the case is perfect for your pocket and opens/closes with ease. The buds have a neat look and the rubber "thorn" (which does not hurt) helps keep them in place.
Fit - The ear buds do not "hang" like others. They fit snug in my ears, which has been an issue with wired headphones as well as semi-wireless head phones for me. I recommend trying the different adapters for your ears, the stock was nice for me but after trying the smaller they fit with more comfort.
Sound - I listen to rock, classic rock, hip-hop, and country. The sound has been nice on all, but great with classic rock. Pink Floyd and the Beetles seem to have 3D sound as they utilize the stereo fading. I listen with the volume a little over half way up with 1 ear bud and about 1/3 with both. The only time I heard the "hiss" others talked about is at low to no volume and when my environment is quite. It is not a problem at all.
Calls - easy to answer and make calls. I use it for Skype calls on my computer and it has worked well. I work in a loud warehouse and people had no issues hearing me, or me hearing them.
Connection - set up was cake with my Pixel 3 as well as my laptop. Easy to switch back and forth. I had 1 issue with connection when I first got them, but nothing since.
Touch controls - these are awesome, toke me a while to figure them out.
Google Assistant - works best by touching and holding one of the buds.
Battery - no issues for me. I typically only use 1 bud at a time at work, so 5 hours of music on each bud = 10 hours. If I use both, or make calls, I have the case which gives me a boost to last all day. I go a few days before charging the case.
Biggest Pros: when you take the bud out, it pauses the music, when you put back in it resumes play. The touch controls. The case. The look. Being able to use 1 bud at a time and switch from 1 bud to another hassle free.
Cons: 1. Kind of wish the case was the same color as the buds for the other colors because I think white is to trendy.
2. Wish there was a pouch the buds can go in if you don't want to carry the case
3. Wish it had bass/treble controls in the app

Don't Purchase If You Need To Use For Phone Calls

First I would like to say I love the make and quality of Google products, and I usually don't like to say anything negative about them unless I really need to. But, these Google Pixel Buds must be the worst at normal calls! Ever since I purchased it I kept on telling myself maybe an update will fix the issue, but its been about 6 months into it, and still the same CRAPPY phone call communication while I am trying to use the Google Pixelbuds.
My problem is every time I use the pixel buds for a phone call or video call, I can't hear them and they can't hear me (i.e. the person on the other end mentions I sound muffled and my voice is very faint). I did a search on the internet and on forums and tried different things, and I am not the only user that is encountering this problem! Come on Google step it up with the Q & A!
I am pairing the Google Pixelbuds to a Google Pixelbook Go laptop and my Pixel phone! Come on google, WTH! Makes me really frustrated and I want to change devices and eco systems at times.
I picked up a pair of Apple Airpod Pros and everything works like it should; so I have been using the Airpod Pros for the mean time, if this doesn't get resolved I am probably going to have to switch up to a different platform next year in 2021 because this is ridiculous.
I honestly feel like I WASTED my money on the earbuds.
Pros
*******
- Quality and craftsmen ship of product.
- Good bass and audio when it works during media consumption.
Cons
*******
- BAD and I mean BAD phone/video call usage, can't hear a thing on both ends. And this is the main reason/purpose that I use any kind of earbud piece.
Rating is 2 stars = "Fair" because quality and craftsmen-ship is there and it works well when media consumption, but can't even consider bumping over to 3 star rating of "Average" if the phone calls aren't even usable!

Since I own a pixel phone, I was really eager for Google to come up with a true wireless earbuds which would work seamlessly with the pixel devices, and I have to say they did a great job. It connects seamlessly with the Pixel 4 XL, and the connectivity is reliable. Although it doesn't have noise cancelation, adaptive sound makes up for that and I haven't had any issues with the outside noise while having these on. Although I do hear static sounds now and then, a future software update should fix it as pixelbuds are heavily integrated with software. I have also used this on Ipad, and it worked without any issues flawlessly. Great product.

I purchased these buds recently and was annoyed to discover that they cut out intermittently. Not the end of the world for sure, but irritating nonetheless. However, an update to the buds was pushed out the other day which seems to have fixed this widespread issue. The update is 552.
