To recap
The Google Pixel Buds offer an improvement over the company’s previous offerings, with a better overall design and active noise cancellation. There’s great interaction with Google Assistant, but these earbuds do feel a little bulky and we did find an occasional drop in sound quality which suggests there’s a connectivity bug. But, when they’re working well, they’re a decent set of headphones.
