id="cnetReview" section="rvwBody" data-component="indepthReview"> Google's Pixel Buds, the company's $159 (£159, AU$229) in-ear wireless Bluetooth headphones, one plus 7 antutu score were the surprise hit of the company's October hardware event that also saw the unveiling of the Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL and Pixelbook. What captivated the gadget press -- and the wider media -- was the headphones' advertised ability to deliver "real-time" translation of spoken languages. Many publications likened it to the Babel Fish of "Hitchhiker's Guide to the galaxy note 8 antutu score" fame. Engadget said the feature "will change the world."

Now that they're here, well... let's just say the translation singularity hasn't quite arrived.

What you get instead is a decent if unremarkable set of wireless headphones that has an interesting, if somewhat cumbersome, integration with the (admittedly excellent) Google Translate app that's long been available on the phone that's already in your pocket. In fact, the Buds' best tricks are reserved for owners of Pixel ($244 at Amazon) and Pixel 2 phones only. 

That said, my experience with the Buds wasn't the outright disaster that other early reviewers seem to have experienced. And Antutu Benchmark I wouldn't be surprised if they get better in the future with additional software tweaks -- and, ideally, compatibility with a wider range of phones.

Google Hey, Bud
The Pixel Buds have a few design traits that help distinguish them from a crowded field of competitors. Shaped like Menthos candies, samsung a40s antutu they're available in color options that match the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL phones, samsung a40s antutu and have an open design that doesn't keep out noise (you don't jam the buds into your ears). The adjustable loop at the top acts as a kind of fin to help keep the buds securely in place.

On the right earbud there's a touchpad that allows you to pause or play music, adjust the volume and answer calls. With a touch of that surface you can also access Google Assistant -- it comes up really quickly -- and issue voice commands to play music, send a text or get walking directions. Double-tapping on the right earbud after hearing a notification alert tells Google Assistant to read the new message to you.

The Google Assistant feature works quite well, but I'm used to being able to double-tap on touch-enabled headphones and have the track advance forward or skip back. That feature is sadly missing at this time. In essence, this is the same complaint that people had about Apple's AirPods, which -- pre-iOS 11 -- had limited touch controls and made you use a voice command to skip a track forward. With Google Assistant, you can say, "Next" while using the most popular music streaming services, including Spotify. But the problem is you have to access Google Assistant first.

First I had to fiddle around with the 'buds to get them to sit well in my ears. Once I adjusted the loops to the right length, Huawei P20 Pro Antutu Score p smart plus 2019 antutu score I got a pretty secure fit and found the Pixel Buds lightweight and relatively comfortable to wear. Bose's similarly priced SoundSport Wireless earphones are little more comfortable to wear and fit a little more securely -- and their tips seal out more ambient sound -- but the Pixel Buds' design grew on me over time.
