#Google #GooglePixel #Pixel6 #Pixel6a #PixelBuds #PixelBudsPro #Review
You answered one of my questions regarding multipoint and being able to connect to a computer as well. Thank you for the initial review
Sure thing!
I’ll be fully Pixel by Christmas… After coming from Apple. And a short stop by Samsung I think it’s time to go Pixel.
Me too once I get my Pixel watch.
Same here. Although I can't replace my iPad they still arguably make the best tablet.
Wht is final verdict about pixel buds experience ?
I have been using the Pixel Buds A-Series that I ordered with my Pixel 6 Pro. They are awesome! I play games quite a bit and they have no issues. I thought I would share my experience. I want to say that I only have to charge for about 15-20 minutes to fully charge the ear buds, but, don't quote me on that.
Nice video Adam. It’s a pity companies are leaving out charging bricks now the cables especially when the product is €200 . They sound cool earbuds they look so neat in your ears , I hate bulky earbuds thanks again 👏🇮🇪😎
I have small ears as well, excited to try the A series buds.
I'm currently using the linkbuds S with my pixel 6 pro and I am quite happy with them. A lot of the pixel buds features will be coming to them in the future as well so I don't feel I'm missing out on much. 😝
OMG I never noticed....you DO have tiny ears! 😜
Lol. Yes. 😔
@skullcrusher_1 what new features are coming to the Linkbuds S?
Got these coming today, very excited! Got the Pixel a buds and love them. Past 40, really hard as well lol. We'll test transparency mode.
Just ordered a set for $119 on Amazon. Would love to hear your thoughts after their new updates roll out. Really like that Google is updating an existing product with new features instead of forcing users to buy a whole new product.
I just ordered as well for 119 I washed my airpods so it's my excuse for a new pair
Agree. I would love an updated review
Do you or anyone that sees this know how these buds compare to the Galaxy Buds Pros? I've been waiting for these earbuds with baited breath, but refused to purchase them before hearing what you had to say. I have the A-Series as well and I love them they're not like my Galaxy Buds, but my Galaxy Pros are not that comfortable and don't sit in my left ear well. I'm looking at these buds as kind of a replacement to my Galaxy's
I wonder if Europe's law forcing everyone to use USB-C charging is the reason they're not sending a charging box or cables anymore? My wife has a habit of losing chargers 😡 and it'd be nice to keep getting them. At least when I bought a phone. Loved the cliff notes review! Looking forward to your in-depth word on these buds. It's funny how the closer you get to 40 the more you realize you're unwilling to deal with the BS of others. When people I don't care for are speaking to me I just walk away probably why I'm my own best friend anymore. Anyway I look forward to your next review.
Thanks and praise 🙏 regards
The not including a charger thing started way way before the European usb c requirement thing. It's probably got more to do with profit margins. Chargers cost more to make now for a variety of reasons. With most devices using standard USB c, and with most people already owning a charger, companies would rather not spend a couple bucks including a charger
@@Toblerone5 I'm aware that the law was recently imposed, but it was being spoken about for a long time before this. I wasn't saying that it had anything to do with the EU's decision. I was simply postulating. However, what you stated makes perfect sense. It's all about profit margins these days. And I understand not including a charger with headphones, but they should at least give us one when we purchase a phone, especially when it's over a certain amount. I didn't read a lot about it so I don't know what happened and why, but I know there was a person suing Apple for not including a charging setup with their phone. I spent almost $1,000 on a phone. I don't want to go and spend $50 or more on a proper charging setup when the phone should have just come with one. Not to mention wireless charging leaves a lot to be desired. I have several wireless charging devices and rarely ever use them for my phone.
@@viktorcapulet6708 Yeah I agree it's dumb but without a law mandating chargers, now that the precedent is there it's just how it'll be because it's cheaper.
I just did receive my Pro Buds over this past weekend and I really like them.... I also said I wish they were a little bit easier to get them out of the case but other then that .... I think these will be my go to from now on.... BTW... Great video ....👍
Good Review Adam, thank you, I found your channel when looking for reviews on these as I am considering them. Honestly the top things that I am looking for in Wireless Ear Buds are 1. Fit/Comfort (I have ear buds in more than I have them out) 2. Battery Life (even though I have the 2 gen Air Pods & of course the battery life has deteriorated some as to be expected,) they still die incredibly fast & I don't like that & they don't even have any ANC & while there will be times that I will certainly use ANC & I am thankful for that feature, I also like & need to hear my surroundings at times so ANC is (almost) a bonus feature. The Touch Controls on these especially the swipe back & forth for Volume I think sell me on these too. I also don't like Super Heavy Bass Ear Buds Headphones & I also need the ability to switch between my upcomming Mac computer & my Upcomming Pixel 7 Phone. I think between your's & Mike O'Brien's Initial Review of these, I will pick up a pair this Fall.
Thanks for this honest review. I have used wireless earbuds since I had my iPhone 7 Plus (I’m now on an iPhone 12). I have used literally everything from the Beats Powerbeats3 to my current AirPods 2.
My problem is that everything I have used since the Powerbeats 3 falls out of my ears. I somehow broke them and was not able to replace them. I even bought a pair of ear hooks to keep the AirPods (1 and 2 generations) in my ears. I even have a pair of Motorola VerveOnes+. Those are the most uncomfortable earbuds I have.
I don’t care about ANC. My requirements are battery life, comfort and stability in my ears (earbuds must stay in my ears). I also don’t want to spend an arm and a leg. I do like a few earbuds:
1) AirPods 3 or Pros
2) Beats Fit Pro
3) Beats Flex
4) Beats Studio Buds
Which ones would you recommend??? Thanks
Love your thorough no nonsense reviews, keep it up. Just sad they dont have wingtips :(
They actually seem to stay put pretty well even without. And thank you!
That's my biggest concern. I've always had issues with in ear bud retention. They always seem to want to fall out, especially during any activity. The A series buds have worked out really well for me with those wing tips. I'm hesitant to invest in the Pro being they lack them.
@@24bics i feel exactly the same way, not sure if i should give them a try though because other hesitant people say they actually work surprisingly well even without the wings, but the a series fit me so good that i just dk what to do
There's not much to dislike with these buds. I think it will be a personal preference
I have the exact same set up with brown horween Nomad case,which took just 3 days from HK to deliver
we disagree but I like your reviews just giving a real review not the PC stuff other content creators make to get sponsors
I think they're fine, but over priced since ANC, Transparency mode, and audio quality are not the best. Maybe $179? $200 bucks is just a lot for what it has. The only saving grace is battery life but even then, I'm not using earbuds for 7 hours straight.
ANC is noticeably better than the AirPods Pro and Buds Pro; I have them all so I can tell. Oh and they are super comfortable with the best multipoint by far
@@MF_OXF what about transparency mode in comparison to the Airpods Pro? I have the Airpods Pro and using die Oppo Enco X at the moment. I tried many other earpods but the transparency mode is much worse than the Apple Airpods Pro. I am looking for a very natural souding transparency mode. And it should not noise too much.
Do you lose any functionality using these with a non pixel device? Eager to see Samsung Galaxy bud pro 2. I'm using an S22U
I would wait for the buds pro 2. Most reviews say these just sound good, but not the best. I also have the s22u and they will have better codec using a Samsung phone also
When you make a call is the sound in stereo with all the pixel bud models? My current JLab buds are only one ear sound while making a call (which I don't prefer). I would prefer to hear calls in both ears while talking.
Yes. It's stereo
Great review!
Apparently, Bose has the best noise cancelation. Have you tried those? Currently rocking the xm4 earbuds got a killer deal on them too but brand new.
I have not. I have too many earbuds and wasn't going to buy those too.
@@TechOdyssey the Sony 1000 xm4 or whatever the model name is 😤 has by far the best ANC on the market for earbuds.
Next you won't even get a carrying case and ear tips.
I like the reasoning behind what you're saying.
Thanks!
Test how far away from phone you can get.
I was doing the lawn and was wearing the pixel buds and left the phone in the house so I don't have to carry it. This nice Texas heat, and listening to music. It kept on cutting in and out. The closer you get to the house then it would connect. I would say about 10 feet .
I've had mine for a few days and I disagree with some points. I too have weird ears but the stock tips don't fit at all; had to buy some memory foam tips to keep them in but despite that, it only keeps them in for about an hour when not moving. However I do have to shake my head rather hard to get them to slip out with these foam tips.
One thing I noticed is the design of the Buds themselves don't adhere inside of the ear and rely solely on the tips to keep them on, which is a bad design in my eyes as these buds are somewhat heavy. (For earbuds) Since it's getting colder I imagine people who use earbuds for running/jogging or any physical activity where you build up a sweat may find these earbuds problematic. I probably just have nasty ears but any sweat or moisture will absolutely loosen these with minimal effort.
In the future I hope Google releases a Pixel Buds Sport that are designed to use the whole bud to fit in the ear and not just the tip. Probably could use something like a cone shaped tip to better fit inside. (Used those with a pair of Nokia earbuds that would not be rocked loose)
I'm interested to try these but I am 100% sold on the Beats fit Pro earbuds.
Solid ones, but they have connectivity issues, at least mine do
Which one among liberty 3 pro and pixel buds pro would be good for using with S22U and iphone 13?
Need your suggestion. If you have any other suggestions apart from these two do tell me.
TIA
Do you want lightweight, ANC and transparency mode or super powerful sound and bass?
@@TechOdyssey i guess if i want lightweight and anc then its pixel buds pro or if if my priority is only sound then its liberty 3 pro.
My main priority is which will work with both, plays music well and good for calling.
Great viewpoint 👍👍
Thank you.
These buds are on sale for black Friday sale 2023. I was just curious if sale of 119 any good?
I was wondering if these were good. Do you think they top the buds 2 pro
I think they’re slightly better
@@TechOdyssey I ended up getting the liberty air 3 for myself and to review them lol. Way cheaper at 99 right now
@@nothinguntouchedpodcast excellent ear buds. Can’t go wrong with anything soundcore.
How do they compare to Jabra Elite 4 active or Beat's Studio buds? I have both and prefer Jabra over the Beats.
Not sure. Haven't listened to them. I do like Jabra though. Comparable with Jabra Elite 7 Pro.
I am looking for the best noise cancelation ear bud. Which one you recommend?
For Android?
@@TechOdyssey yes
I just got the pros my brother just got the a series honestly definitely better but my brother has a pair of a series from when they first came out and those original ones sounded better than the new ones. Pro is definitely worth it while it's on sale
How is the gaming latency? Airpods gen 3 doesn’t have latency and i want to change to Pixel buds Pro
i have WF1000XM4s and still watching videos like this :D but i would never get refubrished or used even if ucan exchange tips, but that battery life seems really good
Love your videos. I just have a question about the Pixel 6 because I have it and on the Google app store about the movie. Logan, I bought it and movie doesn't fit the screen. It's all stretched out and I can't seem to fix it
Besides the Galaxy buds plus these have the best battery life I've seen
Are you able to up the volume from the earbuds or do you have to up the volume from your phone ? Good review by the way
You swipe forward on the earbud to raise the volume and swipe back to lower the volume like the 2020 pixel buds .
@@kdubspencer3390 thanks man. Glad this feature is back. It's a pain in the butt to go get your phone to put the volume up or down.
Can you make a poll to see if other people feel the way I feel but can you ask the people if they would like to see you either rate or give a dollar value on how much you should pay for the product. What you consider the fair price is or if you should until they are sale at this price.
An example of this would be the pixel buds pro they sell for 200 but you would wait until they are on sale for $$$.
Or compared to other buds the pixel buds pro should only be worth this much $$$.
Or if you pre-order this product it comes with this included which increases the value of the product and this is a fair price?
In the initial review I feel like you won't be able to do that, but after a week or two you should be hopefully able to tell if what you think is a fair value
And I posted this before watching the video so I have no idea what you are going to say
Interesting Review Thanks. I have a pair of either 1st or 2nd gen Air Pods (Not Pro) & although the fit is actually pretty good for me, the battery life is a turn off for me. I am not an Iphone owner/user, I use Android, although my music collection is all Apple/Itunes. Honestly, I find & prefer to listen to sound profiles as they are out of the box & not really mess with the EQ & since I plan on getting a Google Pixel phone soon, I may consider these as long as I can use Bluetooth to connect & listen to my music collection on the Apple Device I have for that.
These are great for playing them with no fuss or making changes. They’re simple and easy to use like the AirPods. Yes. You can use them with iPhone.
I hate Google for the fact that they consistently keep dropping price in just few months. It just makes early adopters look foolish. I bought pixel buds 2 at 175 and it dropped to like 90-100 ish I couple of months afterwards (note: I got it on release).
Also same for my pixel 6 pro. Another thing to consider is my original pixel buds 2 battery degraded like crazy that it barely lasts an hour now after 19 months
I was wondering if they paired easily with your surface duo 2?
I haven't tried yet but I don't see why it would be problematic
Can we get an updated review since these new updates are out?
i find it tough to splurge on earbuds because of my finicky ear canals and often poor return policies. All the value goes down the drain if they don't seal, if they don't fall off altogether.
I'm the same way, the Buds A-series that I've been using up to now are the only earbuds I can confidently wear without worrying about them falling out because of that wing tip so I'm a little weary how these Pro models are gonna work for me without that wing tip. Mine are arriving Monday so I'll find out then. The estimated 11 hour non-ANC battery life was just too good to pass up though, I am getting just shy of 5 with the A-series which for me aren't cutting it and I don't wanna pay over $200 for the Sony's which don't have 11 hours of non-ANC battery life anyway.
Sounds like these are priced too high and there are better options for cheaper
@Benjamin Jagun not considering you can get better for less. If you're coming from the a series, it's probably a good upgrade
I get that they have noise canceling for your hearing.
When using these to make phone calls, will they remove the surrounding noise from the phone input, to the person you are talking to? Or does the person you are talking to hear all the surrounding noise, drowning out your voice?
Good point,I use these when driving,often with the window down,so get some road noise. I use the NC to make it disappear. I often wondered if they cut the noise for the recipient as well 👍
I asked this question of several reviewers. This one posted a mic test as a short video.
ua-cam.com/users/shortsJ5wnJP0BWNY?feature=share
No charging cable ? I thought they did. I paused the video and looked in the box mine came with and you are right, no charging cable!
Yup. No charging cable. Lame.
Does Multipoint also work with a Smartwatch?🤔
Google software and hardware while functionally rich have a lot of quality issues... my chromecast frequently disconnects, loses audio etc. etc. Android itself has so many bugs even after all this time. Google simply does not do a good job with quality control and ship hardware and software full of bugs. So getting back to the buds - i'm skeptical of spending $199 which I think is a crazy amount of money if the noise cancellation and reliability isn't as good as the Bose which has amazing Noise cancellation.
Adam please compare the sound with the Jabra 75t.
I think the sound experience is about the same. I like the Jabra app and the bass hits harder in the 75T, but the natural sound profile and vocals/mids are better in the Pixel Buds. If I remember correctly the highs are better in the Jabra. Pixel Buds ANC is better than the firmware updated ANC on the 75T, plus better battery life and you get transparency mode. I think comfort is better too with Google. 75T you can get much cheaper now though and are excellent.
huh Sony xm4 earbuds have way better noise canceling then airpods pro
Just waiting for the 14th so I can redeem my Pixel buds A I got free with my Pixel 6a.
I can't wait for mine! Says Aug 5th..
How's call quality with pro buds ?
I think it’s good for earbuds.
How much for the black leather case?
$39.95 I believe
Received a $20 off coupon due to being a pixel super fan, so waiting on a set of these to arrive still. The form factor of the case, and design with wireless charge are some of the biggest pluses of my pixel buds, so the pros definitely sound like a nice upgrade in sound quality which I would have just rated as ok on my gen 2 buds.
Nice!
Has anyone been able to find a case for these.
The nomads are very expensive
You’ve probably looked but Amazon is likely your best bet
@@TechOdyssey Thank you sir and yeah the only things I could find were for the PB2/A and since these are slightly larger they don't fit. I just got mine like five minutes before watching the video but I'm so afraid of dropping them lol
If you spent time to watch this video like it thanks
Great!
My OCD really annoyed by this white dots on the left picture
Does the google 6a support the previous google headphone jack adapter ?
As far as I know.
@@TechOdyssey Oh thank you for the kind answer sir
Did you have any low maximum volume issues? My A series still has that even after the latest 3.415.0 update and customer support can't seem to help.
No. I thought the volume was good. Louder than my Sony XM4.
The sound on pixel buds A is fine but keeps falling out of my ears no matter what I try
Before buying this I have to make sure they fix the Bluetooth issue 100%
Ok.
" It's not true, Honey I love you!" Salute
😂😂😂
Pixel buds 1 original are the best Bluetooth eapbuds I've ever owned. Fit and performance is unmatched, sound quality and battery life are better than Samsung and apple
Got the jokes today😅. I have gen 3 AirPods and pixel buds series a. I love both but when I’m not on my pixel and using my buds with iPhone the connectivity is so bad and there’s sound latency. I never have that issue with AirPods across any devices. Google is definitely making improvement to all their devices and overall ecosystem especially with a possible watch and small rumor of a tablet but I really think they should be focusing on software. Updates give solutions, but recently ever new device they drop has so many bugs. The one thing keeping them strong is their cameras with new software but same sensors. Impressive, but not enough for me. Solid video.
I will give props to their features like translation and the bud with the phones are very advanced with a garage sale price tag
Decent sound, terrible anc. Got mine for free thankfully though.
"keeping the metabolism.......not letting the dream die." !!!!!! HA HA HA
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😅
👍👍👍
ITS NOT TRUE HONEY ILU
*SUS*
Lol
Who needs another charging cable? Seriously?
People who don't have a bunch of cables sitting around.
😂
I think they are really over priced. Sure they have features that other earbuds don't have but, I have the JLab ANC Sport which seems to have better transparency mode, ANC, and bass. I've even heard that the call quality sounds more realistic on the JLab ANC than the Pixel Buds Pro. The JLab ANC is $100 whereas the Pixel Buds Pro are twice the price. I like the multi-point feature but until Google expands the feature, I don't see any reason to spend the extra $100 for a device with lesser quality. The Pixel Buds Pro charges faster because of the usb-c vs the usb-a on the JLab.
done squeezing the life out of that pixel 6a?
Done leaving useless comments?
first :D
