Are they better than competitors though?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s been 6 months since Google announced their Pixel Buds, their triumphant entry into the <a href=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wireless-earbuds-overtook-headphones-and-earphones-in-sales-by-miles-in-2019\/\">booming TWS market<\/a>. So far Apple dominate the bunch by far despite <a href=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/these-will-be-2020s-best-earbuds-revealed-at-ces\/\">a number of competitors<\/a> getting on the hype of Airpods, but Google may be the one to disrupt it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google&#8217;s Pixel Buds are now available in &#8216;Clearly White&#8217; for $179 in the U.S. and are launching further in the coming months. They promise high quality sound, a unique design that is comfortable and unobtrusive whilst sitting firmly in your ears and have been designed to work seamlessly with voice assistants for AI functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google have gotten a bunch of their team to each describe a different part of what they feel makes Pixel Buds special. Here&#8217;s what they have to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Get started easily with <a href=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/android-fast-pair-finds-your-bluetooth-headphones-tells-you-when-to-charge-and-connects-in-1-tap\/\">Fast Pair<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI always used to use wired headphones because I had concerns about the reliability of Bluetooth\u00ae connectivity, as lots of other earbuds have pairing problems, including the original Pixel Buds. With the new Pixel Buds, we focused on improving Fast Pair to eliminate these pain points and easily connect to your phone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8211; Ethan Grabau, Product Manager<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod\/original_images\/Presto_Tap4_full.gif\" alt=\"Presto_Tap4_full.gif\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Clear calls with special mics and sensor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo give you clear calls, even in noisy and windy environments, Pixel Buds combine signals from beamforming mics and a special sensor that detects when your jaw is moving. This helps so you don&#8217;t have to look for a quiet place to take a call. It\u2019s come in particularly handy these past few weeks for me working from home with two young daughters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8211; Jae Lee, Audio Systems Engineer<\/em><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Adaptive Sound for better audio&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAdaptive Sound is perfect for those moments like when you\u2019re steaming milk for a latte, or when you&#8217;re washing your hands or the dishes. Those noises can eclipse your audio experience for a bit, until the latte, or your dishes are done.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8211;&nbsp;Basheer Tome, Senior Hardware Interface Designer<\/em><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo help, Adaptive Sound temporarily and subtly adjusts your volume to accommodate for the new noise in your environment, and goes back to normal after it\u2019s dissipated. It works kind of like auto-brightness on your phone screen: It momentarily adjusts to the world around you to make the experience of using your device a little simpler.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>&#8211; Frank Li, UX Engineer&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/><\/em><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Hands-free help with Google Assistant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;When I\u2019m working in the yard and wearing gloves, I can use&nbsp; \u2019Hey, Google\u2019 on my Pixel Buds and easily control my music. I can also hear my notifications, and reply to a text message with just my voice and Google Assistant.&nbsp;<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when I&#8217;m taking my dog on our daily walk and using my Pixel Buds, I use Google Assistant to navigate and check my fitness progress hands-free while juggling a leash and bag of dog treats. The Pixel Buds are slim enough they fit snag-free under a hat or hoodie, too.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8211; Max Ohlendorf, Technology Manager&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod\/images\/HeyGoogle.max-1000x1000.png\" alt=\"HeyGoogle.png\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Real-time translations with conversation mode&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe set out to see how we could use Google Translate on Pixel Buds to reduce language barriers. Making the conversation as natural as possible even with the use of the phone was important, so we decided to create the split screen UI to show exactly what was being said, and translating it in real time on the screen with conversation mode. Any exposure to a different language is also an opportunity to learn, so we wanted to make the feature is not only as helpful as possible for things like being in a different country, but also as simple as being able to help bilingual households across generations connect through language.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8211; Tricia Fu, Product Manager<\/em><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Peace of mind with Find My Device<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe fear of losing expensive wireless earbuds is real, and in many cases a reason why people are afraid of trying them. We tried to reduce that fear a bit with Find My Device. If an earbud falls out when you\u2019re walking or running, you know right away. But you may be less aware when you return home and absentmindedly put them down somewhere. So we built the ability to let you ring your earbuds from your phone. We also wanted to make sure we were thoughtful in what that experience is like. You can ring one earbud at a time, to focus on finding either the left or right earbud. The moment your hands touch the lost earbud, the ringing will stop. We hope people won\u2019t need to use this feature often, but if they do, they can find misplaced earbuds more easily.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8211; Alex Yee, Interaction Designer<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod\/images\/RingEarbuds.max-1000x1000.png\" alt=\"RingEarbuds.png\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s early days but Apple haven&#8217;t had a tech giant like Google to compete with on the TWS pitch so far &#8211; except kind of Samsung.
