Google is back with Wireless Bluetooth earbuds, Pixel Buds. But, this time they have, what we can call as truly wireless earbuds, unlike the previous iteration. They claim to have rich audio, clear calls, all-day battery and hands-free help from Google Assistant. Almost everything you can expect from wireless earbuds.
- These buds come with custom-designed 12mm dynamic speaker drivers. They come with built-in sensors and mics that focus on your voice for clear calls, with dual beamforming microphones and voice detecting accelerometer.
- Adaptive Sound adjusts volume to fit your surroundings automatically.* So don’t worry about volume control every time you move between noisy and silent places. It also has passive noise reduction.
- Spatial vent: In-ear pressure reduction and spatial awareness.
- Secure fit: Three-point anchor system keeps a secure fit, so it won’t fall even while working out.
- Touch control: Tap to Play and pause, and swipe to control volume levels.
- Voice control: You can ask Google assistant to do things, just as you would on your phone.*
- Get real-time translations with these buds in your ear.* Now, that’s the kind of feature to have if you travel a lot. Or in some cases, when you watch that foreign language film or a TV show. It’d be great if it worked smoothly in those scenarios.
- You can pair them with just a single tap. They connect easily with any Bluetooth 4.0+ Android or iOS devices.
- Fast pair requires location enabled.
- Charging can be done easily with USB-C cable or a compatible wireless charging pad. [Wireless charging pad sold separately]
- Up to 5 hours of listening and up to 2.5 hours of talk time, with single charge. Charging case makes the job easier and extends the life up to 24 hours for listening and up to 12 hours for talk time.
- 10 minute charge of earbuds in wireless charging case delivers up to 2 hours of listening time and up to 1 hour of talk time.

- If you lose your buds, you can use ‘Find My Device’ to make them ring, so you can locate them easily.* The earbuds will ring at a gradually increasing volumes and must still be nearby and connected to your device.
