Pixel Buds A Review

 

I've been living with the new Pixel Buds A for about 2 months now and have some thoughts. The Buds A checks nearly all the boxes for a set of truly wireless earbuds. Good sound, great connection, hands-free Assistant, excellent minimal design, and solid battery life. I can go on but you get the point. The Pixel Buds A is literally everything I wanted the Pixel Buds to be. Pixel Buds was just too buggy and I am glad that Google went with another chip that allows for each bud to receive a Bluetooth stream from your phone or tablet. 

There are two things that stand out to me that make the Buds A an instant hit IMO. The sound and the features Google were able to leave in at this price point. The sound is absolutely amazing, especially at this price point. Music sounds very detailed and crisp while keeping the bass prominent with pretty deep lows. As for features, you get Hey Google, Adaptive Sound, and Android Fast Pair. There is also in-ear detection to pause music when you take them out of your ear.   

If there is one thing I would like to see in a future update is the swipe gesture to adjust the volume. Other than that, these earbuds are the closest thing to perfect at just about any price point. Great for music, podcasts, and movies. The mic quality is probably the best I have heard save for the 2020 Pixel Buds. If you are in the markets for some earbuds the Pixel Buds A are definitely worth a look.
