Hey guys EBPMAN here and if you're considering the brand new Google pixel
buds well you're gonna want to watch this video
this is EBNPMAN tech reviews and today we're gonna take a look at the brand new
Google pixel buds
now this video want to take a closer look at the Google pixel buds we're
gonna do an unboxing we're gonna do two tests an EBPMAN style call quality test
and an EBPMAN style audio test we're gonna hear the call quality we're gonna
hear the audio quality of the brand new pixel buds are they the best in the
market well gonna want to watch the video because they have surprisingly
good call quality let's get right to it make sure you hit the subscribe button
and tap the little bell icon to get notified when new videos become
available now well there are several things that you can be excited about the
Google pixel buds one of them is not the battery life the battery life on these
are five hours and ok let's face it five hours is good but not good in these
times you're looking at ear buds that are cheaper than these $149 versus $179
they're gonna give you 11 hours of battery life so these will only give you
five hours now one of the things that is competitive is that you're gonna get 24
hours worth of usage with the case so that means I have to use them you put
them in and they charge you'll get 24 hours which is going to be great for a
lot of people but again I still think that it's not as competitive as some of
the other brands now ten minutes fast charge is gonna give you two hours
that's competitive now the Google pixel buds also support bluetooth 5.0 but they
do not support multi pairing they do support multi connect meaning that you
can have them on different devices and you can disconnect one to get to the
other but it's not multi connect capable so now while the Google pixel buds do
support independent use one of the things that you can't do is put them on
and off seamlessly without having the music stopped so if you do take one out
of your ear and you put it in the case you'll have to press play to continue
listening to music if you put it back in your ear though they'll automatically
sync and continue either watching a movie or playing music and while the
Google pixel buds do not have active noise-cancelling they do have passive
noise cancelling and that means when you put them in your ear the seal that you
get is really good now they do have environmental I would say audio tuning
so depending in the you're in as your in a louder
environment they automatically adjust the volume to make sure that you have
the best music experience now from a mic perspective the Google pixel buds only
have two mics but for calls I have to tell you that despite the fact only
having two and many of the competitors having three mics please perform
extremely well you have to listen to the call quality test so make sure you stick
around now one of the things I'm not going to cover on the channel because I
think is a little bit gimmicky is that Google really touts the fact that the
pixel buds have translating capabilities meaning the ability to listen to a
conversation in one language hear it in another and then speak in the local
language that you're listening to the problem I have with this feature is that
the feature is very manual you literally have to have your phone out press a
button to capture what the person is saying listen to what they're saying and
then what you do is you speak it and then your phone speaks what you say it's
just still very clunky it's really not automatic now the last thing we're cover
is IP ratings so from an IP rating these are IP rated four so they're gonna be
safe in the gym you're gonna be safe for working out and if you do get caught in
the rain you should be fine too now in the box you can find your Google pixel
bugs with the traveling case you're also gonna find some gel tips so you have one
installed and then you have two other sizes and you have a USB C charging
cable now taking a closer look at the case you'll see that it's really compact
it supports wireless charging it also has a matte finish it actually feels
like an egg if you were to touch an egg the outside of an egg that's exactly how
this feels which is kind of freaky it does also have USB C for charging and
then Qi charging as well the buds when they're inside the case and you'll
notice that there's an LED here and here indicating your battery life will stay
magnetically in the case and as you're putting them back they do self guide so
you can see as I put them in they just lock in now the buds themselves are
relatively compact but similar in design so if we take a look at this design you
do have touch and swipe options there's no physical buttons here you just swipe
to the left swipe to the right you can tap you can double tap these do not
support transparency mode which is another negative for me the fact that
you can't listen to what's going on around you just like you can with the
majority the earbuds nowadays is a miss it has a small wing tip here and it also
has the contact points for charging and let me show you
they look like on so we'll go ahead and put these in our ear the one thing I
will say about these as I put them on they have a nice thin profile they
almost disappear let me make sure that you can see the signal wore to the right
and to the left and if I go right in the center you'll notice they almost
disappear because they're so flat now from a seal perspective as we were
talking about you have a great audio seal not a lot of noises getting in
especially if you have their right ear tub from a comfort perspective they
don't feel like they can fall out I've actually taken these out on a run I've
had them for the last couple days and had no issues with really sweat getting
in my ear and then having to clean them out because there's been so much sweat
and if we do a shake test you know these guys are not gonna come out they really
sit really nicely now one thing that I would say is about the audio quality
we're gonna do the call quality test next followed by the audio quality but
from an audio quality perspective I just want to mention this they're very well
balanced right these aren't gonna be bass heavy earbuds and you'll hear this
in in the music playback that we have but basements and highs are present it's
clean audio it has a great sound stage they're not gonna compete with the
Sennheiser's let's face it so I know you guys are going to ask for a lot of tests
I'll tell you straight up they're not gonna compete with the Sennheiser's I
will say though they compete really well with the Google pixel actually the
Samsung Galaxy buds plus the new ones and probably some of the other brands
that we have on the channel so if you're interested in comparisons and you want
to do those new audio tests that I've been doing let me know in the
description area will do that so again good audio quality you have a good sound
stage basements and high as they're present but it really doesn't favor I
would say bass in a heavy way it's it's very balanced in nature you're gonna see
that in the audio playback so let's go ahead and do the call quality test and
we'll do the audio test next the next gonna do a call quality test of the
pixel buds in a quiet environment now if you take a look at our decimal readings
anywhere from 19 to 22 decibels let's go to switch now this is what the call
quality would sound like when making a phone call
I'm the Google pixel buds in a quiet environment this is a test one two three
this is a test next we're going to noisy environment
as you can see here and that's where meetings are anywhere from 40 all the
way up to 79 decibels in noise we're gonna do is we're gonna get quiet and
switch stay quiet and see how much of the noise in cancel and then we'll do
the audio test it's going to do the switch now this is typical falling sound
like we're making a full pot on the pixel buds in a noisy environment this
is a test one two three this is a test this is what the call quality is light
and the pixel buds in a noisy environment let me know what you thought
about this fall party in the comment area below so now for this part of the
video make sure that you put on your ear buds or your headphones so you can hear
exactly what I'm hearing from the pixel buds want to look at two different
tracks 45 seconds each one of them that is going to have a balanced approach to
music and so let's get to it
you set me free my eyes were closed now I see clean this day and I just wanted
to say that you can take me now
so guys that completes our review of the Google pixel buds let me know what you
thought about the audio test the call quality tests aren't they amazing and if
you're gonna pick these up next love to hear from you
