They are working well, good sound, not having a problem with cutouts as some have mentioned. Good fit which is usually a problem for me. Stays charged longer than I need so far. Had some Taotronics earbuds, but 1/4 price and 1/4 efficiency!

Google hit a home run with these earbuds. They have long lasting life, good sound and best of all they stay in your ear. I've had some that I've tried in the past (Samsung) that would always be falling out. These earbuds are truly wonderful.

Short summary: far to flaky connection wise to recommend, especially at this price. Wait until the next version.
Overall when these are working they are great. Sound is on par with the Samsung pair these replaced, and some pixel specific features are nice. Microphone quality is a strong standout here,
However, these buds constantly drop connection randomly and with such frequency cannot recommend them. Have spent time with Google support to factory reset, ensure latest firmware, etc., However, problems never went away and searching online will show this is a common problem. Also, this behavior is not just with my phone, but three others I've tried. Google has a solid product to build off if, but quality control is not there.

These are great earbuds. They sound is good. They are very compact and easy to carry in one's pocket or backpack.
The drawback is that I have only owned them for 8 months and one side will not connect. I tried everything to get them connected without luck. The case lost the charge one time, and since then it will not connect.

I have a pixel 5 that I purchased these to use with and have been happy. Great sound and fit in ear. Have experienced some issues with disconnecting for no apparent reason and reconnecting. Phone has been in pocket so definitely not out of range. I’m hoping this issue will be resolved with an update soon. Great once this becomes resolved!

Good quality sound. Bluetooth connectivity was strong (could be in another room and still stay connected). Battery life declines with time (what doesn't). Sleek case that charges fast with USB-C port. After about a year and a half the left stopped staying connected.

Cons:
Battery life
Connectivity issues
Fit
Price
No ambient sound
Wanted to like this product as soon as I got it because I love anything Google. I've had this product for about a month and rigorously used it through the time I've bought it. Love the ease of access on the notification on this thing. Press and hold the earbud and you can hear the notification you just got and get options as to what you want to do. You can either reply or just dismiss the notification without using your phone. Battery life drains unequally even when both earbuds are charged at 100%. Connection drops every now and then. While I like the fact that it can connect to my phone with ease, every now and then I would open the buds case and feel like it's connected then all of a sudden, the sound comes out of my phone blasting. Then I would need to literally restart my phone to get it to work again. This happens on both my pixel 3a and my Pixel 4XL. As far as fit, to be perfectly fair, my ears just can't hold true wireless earbuds, period. I've had issues wearing this, the galaxy buds, Jabra elites, and airpods so can't really say much to that. I will be switching for over the ear headphones from now on. As far as sound quality, it's not bad. If you're looking for bass, look elsewhere because it does not have any. Sometimes it would sound like an echo in my ear and would have to put the buds in on the case again to reset. The price on this thing is quite hefty for what it gives you. Galaxy buds+ gives you more for your buck for less than this. There's no ambient sound option. It does give you options on the app so there's that but it's very limited. It does have wireless charging but it doesn't really work well with my pixel stand. I would have to use my wireless chargers that's flat in order for me to use it. Overall, my experience with the pixel buds were disappointing so I'll be returning mine. Quite disappointed really. Hopefully it would be better next time.

I use these earbuds with a Google pixel 4 and my experience has been pretty good. They sound great and recently received an update that boost the bass. Phone calls are great. They are comfortable earbuds after you break them in. I had slight discomfort the first week if I wore them longer than an hour but eventually my ears got used them and now I can wear them all day without any discomfort. I work remotely and use these earbuds for conference calls and have never received a complaint on phone quality. You can use the earbuds independently or together. The battery life for each earbud is not great but they do charge really quick and you can use one at a time to get the most battery life out if you are trying to wear them all day long. Having Google Assistant built in is amazing. Can make phone calls or play music without touching your phone plus everything else Google Assistant can do. I do have issues with connectivity sometimes. Google has pushed several updates to the earbuds since I purchased them but I still have issues with audio dropping out and recognizing the earbud. Putting the earbud back in the case then back into my ear usually fixes this issue.
Overall, good set of wireless earbuds they does everything I want from a pair.

The sound quality is fine, different from my Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, but not worse. The Adaptive Sound is fine, not great, considering that it drops the battery life, while listening yo Audible or music, to about 1:20, though they only last about 2:20-2:40 without adaptive sound.
The controls are nice. Much better than the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, and the fit is wonderful. They're comfortable. For the price, they're not worth it. I would buy multiple pairs if the price were lower.
The call quality is meh. In a quiet room, without a mask on, the other party does not have a problem hearing. In a moving vehicle, or around loud engines, definitely a no-go.

Really do like these earbuds they fit very well. They are full of features. They sound really good however there really isn't much adjustment in the way of equalizer. The case is simple and easy however the magnet could be a bit stronger to keep the lid closed. Overall solid earbuds easy to use great fit

Most comfortable. My only comparison are the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro and these by far make me forget that they are in. Sound quality is good. I have not used them in a busy place yet so that is to be determines. Also holds a good charge,

Been using the pixel buds daily for close to half a year now and I'm very impressed with them. There are however some pros and cons.
Pros:
1) The buds have adequate battery and can be charged quickly.
2) Works well with google assistant and pixel phones.
3) Able to use one bud in the ear while commuting by bicycle well enough. Can even make calls during the ride.
4) The buds know when they are taken off and put back on.
5) The case for the buds has wireless charging which works with the pixel stand (upside down however).
Cons:
1) The left bud tends to fall out a bit more for me, not sure how this is for others. Also the fit can be tricky.
2) Had to reset them one time because they wouldnt sync to my phone anymore.
3) Have to still remove one bud to hear other people speak to me clearly.
Being free to move and listen to media on my phone has been a great experience and I recommend these buds to anyone with a pixel phone. I use a Pixel 4XL.

Android has a true competitor to air pods. The whole package feels premium, they are comfortable, and they sound great. I listen at medium to lower volumes so battery life has been great. Touch controls are intuitive and google assistant in your ear is awesome.

I love these...until I take them outside and then they stop working. They constantly lose connection when outside. Resetting, reconnecting...nothing fixes the issue. I love the features, the sound quality is very good, they are light, small and comfortable. But...if they don't work during the time most people use their earbuds...they are useless. Really disappointed that they weren't able to work when I need them to...

The buds themselves have a good build quality, and the case has a good balance of heft without feeling too big. The downside is the connectivity, which has gotten progressively worse since the purchase in 2021 while not receiving any meaningful firmware updates. Random disconnects while wearing them normally, either both at once or just one at a time, leads to frustration especially when using them for phone calls.
The A-series were much improved in this regard.

I am a pixel fan for phones, but these pixel buds I had to turn off the in-ear detection because they are too sensitive and if it shifts in your ear, sound pauses. The sound quality itself is solid though, as is battery life. I'd say there could be better buds for runners, but for business they are great.

These are the first truly wireless ear buds that I have owned. The sound and battery life are great. I have no issues when streaming music or movies. Occasionally one of them will cut out when watching YouTube - not sure if that's due to the product or the channel. I recommend them.

These are very nice wireless earbuds. They sound great, have fantastic touch controls, and are super portable. My only complaint is that the signal could be better. Every now and then they will glitch out with one of the earbuds losing signal for 2 seconds or so.

Connectivity Issues Are a Let Down

I really had high hopes for these, but they failed to deliver on one major front: connectivity. I lose Bluetooth connection sporadically either in one or both earbuds. It usually requires me to unpair and then re-pair the earbuds to regain a proper connection. This has been an issue on both a Pixel 4 and LG G8 both with updated versions of Android.
Otherwise, fit and sound are great. If the Bluetooth worked properly, these would be everything I could ask for (maybe a touch longer battery life) in earbuds.
