Customer Review
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 March 2024
They're remarkably well built for something so cheap, with a classy look and decent materials. The case feels good and sufficiently robust. The sound quality is excellent and I've had no connection issues with my Pixel 6A.
In terms of fitment they're OK - less secure than my Pixel Buds A series but not falling out. They need a smaller tip size to be included.
The noise cancelling is reasonable - not market leading but good enough to quieten down the Tube so I can listen to a podcast!
But the whole product is let down by one thing: they are not Google Assistant compatibile. You can configure them to open the voice assistant, but that just opens it on the phone, not the audio version through the buds themselves. This is not how Google assistant approved devices work - you get a tone in your ear and can issue commands. This version is rubbish as it just means your phone is woken up and listening from your pocket. Making calls or skipping a set amount of time through your podcast thus requires taking your phone out when it needn't.
I emailed their support who apparently ignored what I wrote and told me again how to configure a voice assistant to one of the buttons. I have already done this and said so in my email. It's so frustrating when companies use support agents who don't properly read complaints.
