The 2017 Pixel Buds were one of Google’s worst hardware launches in the company’s history<\/a>. Really, these things were an utter nightmare. Their sound quality, feature set, awkward fit, and finicky case might have been tolerable as a free pair of buds included with a Google-branded phone\u2014but not a standalone $160 purchase.<\/p>\n

Any hardware refresh had enough work to do to catch up to 2017’s standard of quality and convenience, but Google put itself into a deeper hole by launching this month’s Pixel Buds 2<\/a> nearly three years later. Lucky for us, the company’s new Buds, priced at $180, have turned out to be real buds. As in, buddies, homies, the kind I wanna lug around with me on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

Google needed some good hardware news right about now, and that news comes in the form of Pixel Buds 2: a solid, competitive option for everyday earbuds in the year 2020. “Competitive” does not mean “perfect,” but it does mean they’re worth considering next time you think about buying earbuds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
