- Hey everybody.
It's Nilay from The Verge.
I'm here with Google's new Pixel Buds.
They're the follow up
to the Pixel Buds from two years ago.
They cost $179.00.
They lose that wire.
They're way smaller
and they look pretty cool.
They're like
little circles with a flange
to hold it in your ear.
So you put it in your ear
and they're hidden away.
Obviously, they have "Hey Google" support,
so you just say "Hey Google",
it will hear you.
The mics have beam-forming
so it can hear your voice
for improved call quality.
And, they have a neat
environmental features,
if you have a pixel phone
or another Android phone
running Android N
or above.
You get adaptive volume.
The pixel buds will sense
what kind of environment
you're in
and then raise
and lower the volume
of the audio you're listening
to from your phone.
They also have passive noise cancellation
so they fit in your ear,
but they're vented,
so you can hear some environmental sound.
That works in conjunction
with the environmental sound feature.
To give you a little bit
of noise cancellation.
It's not active noise cancellation.
But it's some of Google's AI smarts.
If you got an iPhone,
they're just standard Bluetooth earbuds though.
They'll last for five hours
on a single charge.
24 hours if you use
the battery case.
The battery case is pretty cool.
USB-C charging.
That's pretty important.
It also has wireless charging.
There's a hidden LED on the front
and LED on the inside
to tell you it's charging.
Pixel Buds are $179.00.
They're coming Spring, 2020.
These ones don't work yet.
So, we gotta see what they sound like.
That's really important.
