Google Pixel Buds- 10 must knows

Google Pixel Buds will launch in Ireland on July 13th

Google Pixel Buds – 10 need to know features

1)Brilliant sound, all around

Google Pixel Buds are built with custom-designed 12 mm dynamic speaker drivers, to deliver rich, high-quality audio. A unique hybrid acoustic design combines the best of in-ear and earbud styles.

The ear tips gently seal the ears to isolate loud outside noises and deliver powerful sound. The spatial vents reduce that plugged-ear feeling and let through just the right amount of environmental sound so that you can stay aware.

2) Iconic Design

Pixel Buds were designed to sit almost flush with the ears for a low-profile look, so they’re not easily knocked out when putting on a hat or removing a jacket, and you can wear earrings without worry.

The charging case is small and pocketable. Soft and smooth, it even doubles up as the ultimate fidget toy. Pixel Buds come in Clearly White.

3) Comfortable and secure fit

Because everyone’s ears are shaped differently, we scanned thousands of ears to create a design that’s comfortable for as many people as possible. Eartips in three sizes ensure that your earbuds can be customised to best fit your unique ear shape.

Each earbud’s stabiliser arc gently tucks into the ear, and together with the soft-fit ear tip, helps Pixel Buds to stay put securely and comfortably, even when you’re exercising.

4) Clear calls anywhere

Each earbud has dual beamforming microphones that focus on your voice, and a voice accelerometer to detect the vibrations of your jawbone when you’re talking.

These features help you to sound crystal clear on calls, even in noisy and windy conditions, such as when you’re running or cycling.

5) Adaptive sound

Adaptive Sound dynamically and subtly adjusts the volume as you move between quiet and noisy environments, so you don’t have to constantly raise or lower the volume.

This comes in handy if you’re moving from the quiet of your home or office to somewhere noisy, such as a city street, a busy café or public transport.²

Adaptive Sound adjusts for sustained noise, rather than one-off background noise, to ensure a non-disruptive listening experience. And if you manually adjust the volume, Adaptive Sound will be temporarily disabled to respect your settings.

6) Hey Google

Talk to the Google Assistant hands-free to start your workout music, continue a podcast, or send a quick reply – just say “Hey Google” or touch and hold either earbud while you speak.³

7) Real-time

Get real-time translation right in your ear while using a Pixel or Android 6.0+ phone.⁴  Say “Hey Google, help me speak Japanese” to start a conversation.

Whether you’re finding your way around foreign countries or connecting with multilingual family and friends during the festive season, you can easily understand and be understood.

8) Touch controls

Important controls are a touch away, so you don’t have to pull out your phone. Tap your earbud once to play/pause, twice to skip, three times to rewind, or swipe to adjust the volume.

Controls are identical on both earbuds, making gestures easy to remember.

9) Water-resistant

Google Pixel Buds are water and sweat-resistant, so rainy days and sweaty workouts are no problem.⁵

10) Battery life and wireless charge

Get five hours of listening time on a single charge, and 24 hours with the case. A 10-minute charge in the case gives you two hours of listening time, and an hour in the case will give you a full charge.⁶

Google Pixel Buds is Qi-certified, so you can easily charge them without reaching for a cable. Just place the case on a compatible wireless charging pad.⁷
