Runners and other outdoor enthusiasts will like having this spatial awareness people who want a peaceful train commute probably won’t. They’re designed to do this, but you’re not going to get the same level of noise isolation here as you would with the Jabras or Samsung’s buds.
The vents on the Pixel Buds let in a fair bit of ambient noise. The Pixel Buds have a venting system similar to Apple’s AirPods Pro. The Pixel Buds are among the most comfortable earbuds I’ve ever worn - but that comfort comes with a trade-off.

At least you won’t encounter the “eardrum suck” that can be experienced with the AirPods Pro and Sony 1000XM3s. There’s no active noise cancellation with these earbuds, but with the exception of Amazon’s Echo Buds, it’s rare to see ANC for under $200. The new Pixel Buds now seal in your ear with silicone tips, but, like Apple, Google has integrated a venting system to prevent that plugged-ear feeling that some people find very unpleasant. So while a difference may be noticeable after a long call, if you switch to streaming audio or other functions after, you will likely see the battery level out.” “On voice calls, the algorithm is more conservative to avoid any dropped audio. The algorithm monitors the state on both earbuds and can switch either earbud to support more power hungry functions, while intelligently prioritizing high quality connectivity and playback performance,” Google told The Verge by email. “Because the two earbuds serve different functions at different times to maximize battery, one earbud may consume more battery than the other. A Google spokesperson said that this behavior is expected. I’ve noticed that the left and right Pixel Buds tend to discharge at different rates, sometimes by a substantial amount. Namely, there are frequent connection issues that other earbuds at this price don’t exhibit. But these Pixel Buds face even more competition than the originals, and while Google has made excellent progress, there are still flaws to be found that put them a bit behind the competition. At $179, they’re now fully wireless, have improved sound quality, and are the first truly wireless earbuds to offer hands-free Google Assistant voice controls.
With its new second-generation Pixel Buds, Google has done an impressive job correcting course. There was some good in there - mainly the deep integration of Google Assistant - but it wasn’t enough to make up for a “meh” overall package. Despite launching after AirPods, Google stubbornly ignored the industry shift toward truly wireless earbuds, and the fabric cable between the Pixel Buds became a chore whenever you wanted to put them away. They shipped in 2017 alongside a Pixel 2 XL with a bad screen and that very strange Clips camera. Google’s original Pixel Buds came at a time when the company was still finding its feet as a hardware maker.
