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.

Pixel Buds Pro 2 review after 1 month | Google's Premium Earbuds

Google follows up the OG Pixel Buds Pro with version 2 and I must say that the Pro 2s are better in just about every way. The stand out feature to me really isn't a feature it's more about the fit. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 is 27% smaller and it shows. This helps with the fit and the wing tip is there to make sure things stay nice and snug. The rest of the package is very similar to the previous model just better. Check the video for my thoughts and see if the Pixel Buds Pro 2 may be a good fit for you. No pun intended.

JBL Tune 520BT review | The budget headphones to beat?

The JBL Tune 520BTs are probably the budget headphones of the year. There is a lot to like from the design to the sound and even the entry level features are pretty compelling.
