DON'T Buy The Google Pixel Buds

2018-02-07
so I've been meaning to try these out the Google pixel bud sort of Google's answer to the Apple earpods it has its own charge case but there's still a cable involved this cable goes around the back of your neck would have been nice to see a fully wireless design comes in two different colors to match the phone this is the just black version my understanding is this is gonna work really well with the pixel device we got to try it out there's the little case that's small that's portable type-c connector over here pretty straightforward boom there's two contact points on each of the two ear buds for the right and the left adjust the amount of slack kind of cool so it fits in this area here and then you close it do you unlock your phone and turn on Bluetooth Bluetooth is already on open the case next to your phone where the buds still inside right within the OS shows a picture of the ear buds yes I'd like to connect now it's explaining the fit to me this way so I'll meet your Google assistant here your messages calendar events and other important info all I do is touch and hold the right earbud hey Google what can you do she said you can say things like play music or what's the weather what's the weather nine degrees Celsius partly cloudy nailed it did the Raptors win their last game No the Raptors lost 120 to 119 yesterday versus the Wizards that's nice the real killer feature here beyond your notifications and Google assistant is also Google Translate for obvious reasons hi my name is Luis I am your friend okay let's bring in our special guests okay everybody round of applause Barry our helpful Mandarin speaker today you must have used an app like this before you but you would just hold it up to the other person and then pass it back say something in Mandarin back to me me home Eugene into my own hello how are you today it I just heard that in the pixel bedroom so I could say back to you hi there I'm doing very well and thank you very much for helping me out with this video right here what the how a child I see means a journey punctual you took a ship here it's pretty good I mean there's color missing words a little bit but I understand the whole content this is convenient right here because the other person doesn't need to have anything I could just pass my phone here and I would have the headset and you and I back and forth what do you think not bad now what would happen if we both had pixel buds what would happen if we both had pixel puns I didn't translate the pistol pose you're not happy right now you're not happy right now okay let's get more complicated then it's preposterous how intricate making an unbox therapy video is for our extravagant audience no no preposterous magnificent you got to kind of adjust a little bit slow it down a little bit if you are a pixel owner they integrate really nicely there's nothing better than Google Translate I mean it's got so many languages in it I realized I didn't listen to music onions I think they probably sound a little bit better than air pods you can't really put them on par with like some dedicated over ear headphones or something they're not really there but I was recently in India although most people speak English there but in the event that they did I could have been I could have done I could uh that's right so I gave this a little bit more thought it's an expensive pair of earbuds a lot of promise with the whole translation aspect it all sounds very good there's actually a lot of drawbacks to this you don't have a fully wireless design I don't particularly find them to be the most comfortable earbuds either they don't fit in my ears that great they don't block the surrounding sound at all so don't expect some kind of isolation here also this this big compelling feature with the translation it's cool but really you're just using Google Translate for now it's not quite real-time the only difference is one person's audio is being heard privately I can't help but feel at this point that this product here is sort of like a 1.0 and there's a lot of room to grow there it doesn't seem like a legitimate air pod competitor as it stands right now as of right now giving the price giving the 1.0 status of this product I can't recommend it to you I'm gonna say do not buy the pixel buds wait for the next version they gotta get better happy Chinese New Year get out of here no chance how do we short name just be like senior pilot she knew a lot to nice indian well I can't get Julie Julie Julie again quite la did I nail it he said perfect do need ah don't need seen yin quite la you happy do you want to say anything to the world okay mom hey daddy see you gotta say hi to somebody all right it's not easy all right give my thumb thank you very much thanks man thanks appreciate it she and you a lot
