One of the best parts of Google’s new Pixel Buds — at least according to the first reviews — is the charging case. However, if white isn’t really your style, Nomad is offering a leather case for Pixel Buds that delivers new colors and more.
Truly wireless earbuds have exploded in popularity over the past few years and, finally, Google is getting in on the fun. We were impressed just by the claims and the hardware during the reveal last year, but has the experience lived up? The first Pixel Buds 2 reviews have dropped to answer questions about sound quality, battery life, and more. Here’s a roundup.
Google’s Pixel Buds have been highly-anticipated by many since their reveal back in October and, from the looks of things, we might be getting the official launch as soon as later today. Ahead of that, though, Google’s official Pixel Buds app is being flooded with negative reviews because Google “forced” the app onto people’s phones.
Back in February, B&H Photo was the first to list the Google Pixel Buds for pre-order, with another retailer following earlier this month. In both cases, the listings were premature and quickly removed. This morning, following the companion app’s appearance, B&H has the new Google Pixel Buds listed for purchase.
As we patiently await the release of the Google Pixel Buds, we’ve spotted the dedicated Google Pixel Buds app hit the Play Store.
In the last month, the new Pixel Buds have received the necessary regulatory approval and were briefly available for pre-order from a third-party retailer. Google Stores around the world today have changed which colors Pixel Buds will be available in locally.
In mid-February, B&H Photo briefly put up Google’s forthcoming Pixel Buds 2 for pre-order, and just a couple days ago, another listing for the headphones came from Chicago-based retailer Abt. The product was priced at $179, but no actual release date was provided. Now, buyers are being notified by Abt about a potential shipping date.
In mid-February, B&H Photo briefly put up Made by Google’s highly-awaited wireless headphones for pre-order. Some more store listings for the Google Pixel Buds headphones have now emerged.
First unveiled at the 2019 Made by Google Event, Google’s second generation of Pixel Buds wireless headphones are set to debut sometime this spring. With their release growing closer, the 2020 Google Pixel Buds have become certified for wireless charging.
The last Made by Google 2019 hardware announcement that has yet to launch are truly wireless Assistant headphones. The new Google Pixel Buds are starting to hit pre-order at retailers ahead of the Spring 2020 launch.
Last year, Google (almost) shocked us all with the unveiling of the second-generation of Pixel Buds at Made by Google 2019, this time as a proper true wireless competitor to Apple’s AirPods. Ahead of their slated release in Spring 2020, the new Google Pixel Buds have turned up in the Bluetooth SIG.
Google’s first generation of Pixel Buds proved a decent offering, but they paled in comparison to the likes of Apple’s AirPods. Now, Google has announced a new take on its smart earbuds with the Pixel Buds (2nd gen).
RIP Pixel Buds. To make way for the new variant coming next year, Google has officially killed off its original wireless earbuds, the Google Pixel Buds.
The second-generation Google Pixel Buds have now gone official at the Made by Google 2019 launch event.
In its fourth year, Google Hardware is launching maturing followups to five major products. Our sources say to expect Google’s latest flagship smartphone, the Pixel 4, as well as a Pixelbook Go laptop, a second generation version of its Nest Mini and Nest Wifi connected home devices, and a followup to the Pixel Buds. We’ve been tracking these products extensively for almost a year, and you’ll find everything we know — and some new tidbits — below…
Google’s Pixel Buds haven’t gotten a ton of attention since their debut back in 2017, but it seems a new update is being prepared. In the past 24 hours, a new option to enable “Hey Google” hotword support has appeared for Pixel Buds users, but unfortunately, it’s not working.
We recently reported that Google is set to release Pixel Buds 2 at its upcoming launch event, but it’s still not known what the company plans to change with the product. What features would be on your wish list for Pixel Buds 2?
Google will soon introduce second-generation Pixel Buds 2 earbuds, according to a source familiar with the plan. The followup to 2017’s first generation Pixel Buds will likely be announced at Made by Google 2019, the hardware showcase that the Mountain View company has held annually since 2016.
Google’s Pixel Buds may not be widely loved, but they’re still a decent piece of hardware. This week, an update has been rolling out to the Pixel Buds which promises to lessen lag and make a handful of other improvements.
Despite rumors suggesting otherwise, Google did not release new Pixel Buds at this year’s October 9th event. While we did see a wired version included with the Pixel 3, the wireless Pixel Buds are unchanged, with Google now giving them a push for the holidays.
Over the past year, the number of Google Assistant headphones available have proliferated. This, unfortunately, is not due to the success of Pixel Buds, but rather various brands adding one-tap access to notifications and Google Search on Android. All these headphones now support the Pixel Buds real-time translation feature.
Last year’s Pixel Buds were some of my favorite wireless headphones, but they were flawed in some big ways. As we approach Google’s October 9th hardware unveiling, we’re expecting the company to reveal a second-gen Pixel Buds 2, and there are a few key places where they can be improved.
