Google says its research shows that “most people describe great sound as full, clear and natural. This is what guides our audio tuning process.” We’re perfectly happy to report that this is what we hear from these little buds. There is none of the somewhat harsh and wearing treble for which previous Pixel Buds were criticised, and the bass is decently fast and snappy without being overbearing. Holding your finger on the ‘G’ logo on the surface of the earbud invokes Google Assistant for commands and questions when connected to an Android phone.

[23] By opening the service to more devices, researcher Matic Horvat hypothesized that Google was seeking more inputs to train its neural network for real-time, natural-language speech recognition.

Google's wireless earbuds are, of course, aimed first and foremost at Google and Android phones, but they work perfectly well with iOS products, tablets, laptops and the like. With non-Android kit though, you won’t be able to use the Google Assistant that brings so much to the Pixel Buds party. Patel, Nilay (October 15, 2019).

The EDM classic Ghosts N Stuff by Deadmau5 sounds rightfully bassy with the Google Pixel Buds Series-A, and while the mids and highs never quite shimmer, the low-end is a definite step up from the previous model. Open your charging case with both buds inside next to a paired Android 6.0+ phone. Fast Pair and Location Reporting must be turned on. The A-Series support Google’s Fast Pair with Android devices but can be paired with Apple devices and Windows PCs, too. They support Bluetooth 5 with the universal SBC and AAC audio standards used by most devices. They only connect to one device at a time but each earbud can be used on its own. The Bluetooth connection to a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and iPhone 12 Pro was solid at home and on a fairly quiet street. Testing in congested areas was not possible, however, because of the Covid-19 situation in the UK.

The Pixel Buds A-Series offer everything that was good about Google’s previous earbuds for just over half the price. For Google Pixel Buds Pro and Google Pixel Buds A-Series: An orange light on the front of your closed case will appear indicating that your Pixel Buds case is charging. The case can charge with the charging case lid open or closed. Carman, Ashley (October 4, 2017). "Google's Pixel Buds are the company's first wireless headphones". The Verge .
