hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and these are the new Google pixel buds I
picked these up they come in at $179 so they're kind of expensive but they have
some interesting features and now they come in four different colors this is
the clearly white color they also come in - oh so orange and then there's two
other colors quite mint and almost black so you have all of those different
colors these were the only ones available so the others will be
available in a little while so let's go ahead and take a look at them and then
we'll listen to them a little bit later on so these are the pixel buds and this
is a pretty small box and I do have the old ones here to compare after so let's
go ahead and open this up now like I said it comes in at 179 which is fairly
expensive but earpods Pro cost a little bit more as well now let's go ahead and
open up the top here and there's nothing inside here let's take this out it's
like a little egg container and let's see what's inside the box so inside the
box we have the different ear tips sizes and so they must have a medium size on
there and then you've got a small and a large
and then inside this we've got a USB a two USB C and it will also wirelessly
charge if you have a wireless charger it's Qi compatible now some people were
saying it does work on the pixel stand but you have to place it upside down
that's probably because of where the wireless charging coils are in the back
of this now inside here we have a little pamphlet with some information let's
open this up here and just shows you how to connect it it's basically a little
instruction booklet and your warranty card and battery and safety information
now let's take the wrapper off of the outside of this there we go
and the texture is really nice it's got a very similar texture to that of the
back of the pixel for Excel so it's kind of got that sort of feel to it let's go
ahead and look around it on the bottom we have USB C for charging and then on
the back we've got a button to help pair it so let's go ahead and open it up here
and let's see if it pops up on my Google pixal here so it says connecting here I
just tapped on the notification and then it says connected to Aaron's pixel buds
tap to finish setup so we'll tap on this it says welcome to your new pixel buds
your favorite media and Google assistant at your fingertips we'll go ahead and
hit start setup you have to accept the legal terms and then it says try on your
air buds so I'll do that in just a moment it shows you how to put them in
your ears find the best fit you've got three different sizes well it next so it
says you can swipe forward to raise the volume so that's neat you can move this
around a little bit so let me put one in my ear to try it out and these just sit
down inside here you've got a couple different little pogo pins that help
charge this now if we look around the outside of the ear bud before I place it
in my ear you can see there's the piece that goes in your ear you've got a
couple different pogo pins this says r4 right and then you have this little nub
here that goes in your ear and it looks like a little microphone or maybe a vent
or the vents down here the microphone might be on the back and then you've got
a couple of microphones around it so let me try this on it dings once I put it in
my ear and music is playing now so I'll swipe forward it can raise the volume
swipe back it lowers the volume and then tap the gear button to skip DoubleTap to
go to the next and then you triple tap to go back and then it shows you how you
can store them we'll hit next you can check the charging status by plugging it
in here so you'll see that gives you an idea and then it says swipe on the
screen to discover more now if I open these up and hit connect it should
connect pretty quickly and give you your status so we'll hit connect again there
we go and then you'll see we have different options below so we have HD
audio AAC phone calls media audio and contact sharing as well and so we have a
couple different options we can find device so if we hit find device it says
ring right now you can actually hear it ring and it's not terribly loud but you
can hear it see if you can hear this
so we'll mute those and let me try these out see what they're like for a little
bit and then I'll come back and share my thoughts on them with you now the older
pixel buds compared to the new one are much bigger and in this cloth flimsy
case so if we take the old ones out they're held together with this tether
here and I sort of like it because it makes them harder to lose but they also
are the size adjustment so they're kind of awkward to use they're also much
larger so compared with the new one on the right here you can see the new ones
are much smaller and have decent battery life as well according to Google so they
should be much better now the pixel buds feel very comfortable in my ear you just
slide them in like this the piece right here at the top pushes against your ear
and keeps it secure now I don't know if that will become uncomfortable over time
but right now I barely feel it and so you've got your access to your touch
controls it feels very comfortable down in my ear as well so I really don't feel
it at all it's very lightweight and I barely notice that they're there
compared with say ear pods Pro so if I put ear pods Pro in my left ear I
definitely notice it it's a harder plastic the materials are a little bit
different and I kind of like the way this one looks a little bit better with
the pixel buds so it's hard to say after using it for only a half hour or so but
it feels like it's going to be much more comfortable to me over time that could
vary depending on what your usage is and how your ears are shaped of course now
as far as using these if I just put them both in my ear tap on them to listen to
music DoubleTap to the next track tap triple tap to go back one and then swipe
to adjust the volume as I swipe here you can see the volume go up and down so
it's going up and down on the phone and it works pretty simply
I wish air pods had that feature now you can also get Google assistant by
pressing and holding or saying hey and then the keyword and just use Google
assistant like you normally would so that part's really nice now I did listen
to music for a little while between the new pixel buds and the air pods Pro now
the pixel buds do not have active noise-cancelling so you've only got this
part to sort of block sound out of it but going back and forth I noticed that
the pixel buds sound a little bit more full where maybe on the air pods Pro the
vocals early but more pronounced so I would say the
the comparison if you're really into music obviously you're going to go with
something a little bit more high-end but these are super nice I don't know that
they'd be great on an airplane or anything like that in the future when
we're traveling again but I don't know that they'd be great as far as noise
cancellation because they don't have the active noise cancellation but as far as
everyday use maybe in an office maybe around town taking a walk I think they'd
be just fine for everyone now they are ipx4 water-resistant so if you're
working out sweating they get splashed with water it's fine but you can't
shower with them you shouldn't be swimming with them that could ruin them
so they can withstand basically working out and just getting a few splashes also
you have Google Translate you can use with these so if you have someone
speaking another language they can speak in their language you can hear them in
real-time in your language and speak back and forth if that works for you so
that's really interesting that they have these and the original pixel buds had
that as well so I think these are really nice I'm going to continue to use them
and I went back and forth with my air pods like I said I find these incredibly
comfortable at least so far and these are just the standard tips that came
with it the medium size tips so I'll try some other ones as well but let me know
what you think about the pixel buds in the comments below and if you'd like to
get your hands on this wallpaper of course I'll link it in the description
