so i've been meaning to try these out
the google pixel bud sort of google's
answer to the apple airpods it has its
own charge case
but there's still a cable involved this
cable goes around the back of your neck
it would have been nice to see
a fully wireless design comes into
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 gotta try it
out
there's the little case that's small
that's portable type c connector over
here
pretty straightforward boom
[Music]
there's two contact points on each of
the two earbuds 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 with
the buds still inside
right within the os shows a picture of
the earbuds
yes i'd like to connect now it's
explaining the fit to me
this way so 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 122-119
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 louis
i am your friend
okay let's bring in our special guest
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
oh yeah and then pass it back say
something in mandarin back to me
hello how are you today i just heard
that in the pixel button right
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
it's pretty good i mean there's couple
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
pretty good
now what would happen if we both had
pixel buds what would happen
if we both had pixel buds
i didn't translate the pistol cuz you're
not happy right now
not really you're not happy right now
okay let's get more complicated then
it's preposterous how intricate
making an unboxed therapy video is
for our extravagant audience
[Music]
you're gonna 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 on these
i think they probably sound a little bit
better than airpods 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 didn't i could
have been i could have done
i coulda
[Music]
understand more 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
airpod competitor as it stands right now
as
of right now given the price given 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
shorten it just be like
um
[Music]
oh that was perfect i can't get julie
[Music]
julie

juni juni
xin yen you happy
do you want to say anything to the world
hey mom he died
see you gotta say hi to somebody all
right it's not easy all right give him a
thumb
thank you very much thanks man thanks
appreciate it
[Music]
