GOOGLE PIXEL BUDS: GIVING AIRPODS A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY?

Gadget review

They may not have many reasons to go outside at the moment, but Android devotees now have a pair of wireless earbuds that works as seamlessly with their operating system as AirPods do with iOS. Google's Pixel Buds are back with a new look, a $179.99 price tag, and no pesky wire like the last model. These Pixel Buds come in an attractive, egg-shaped charging case with a USB-C port for wired charging and Qi support for wireless charging. Both earbuds also have touch panels on the outside that let you pause or skip tracks and adjust volume. Pixel Buds pack in Google's custom 12mm speakers that deliver rich audio in accommodating environments. The way the earbuds seal the ears provides a bit of passive noise reduction, but that's more useful indoors than out in public. Google's new Pixel Buds give Android owners what iPhone owners have had for years: Quality wireless earbuds that seamlessly work with their OS with little hassle. Deep sound, comfort and stability, and a competitive price point make them a worthy rival to Apple's prized earbuds.
