Google Pixel Buds A-Series review: price is everything

The new, cheaper Pixel Buds are a much better buy.

Sound quality just as good as regular Pixel Buds ; Improved comfort ; Retains IPX4 water resistance and features like ear detect despite low price

Some audio cutouts remain ; Ear hooks are nonremovable ; No more swipe controls for volume

Google has officially launched the Pixel Buds A-Series, which cost only $99. They deliver very good, balanced sound quality, support hands-free Google Assistant voice commands, and partly resolve the audio connection problems Google’s last earbuds had.

Google Pixel Buds A-Series Truly Wireless Review

The Google Pixel Buds A-Series Truly Wireless are the more wallet-friendly sibling of the Google Pixel Buds 2020 Wireless. They retain the same rounded, well-bui...

Comfortable, well-built design. Consistent audio delivery. Satisfactory recording quality.

Don't really block out background noise. Mediocre noise handling. No sound customization features. Sub-par battery life.

The Google Pixel Buds A-Series are fair for neutral sound. They have a somewhat neutral sound profile, although they have an underemphasized bass range. A dip in the mid-treble also dulls sibilants like cymbals a bit. Since they're in-ears, their...

Google Pixel Buds A-Series review: Surprisingly rock solid

Google's latest pair of true wireless earbuds take the best features of the original and shed the excess — and the bugs — to hit a $100 price tag.

Superb comfort for most people ; Very good sound quality for the price ; Always-on Google Assistant is super useful ; Solid connectivity, unlike more expensive Pixel Buds

Glossy plastic looks cheap ; Battery life is just OK

At $100, Google's Pixel Buds A-Series live up to the value-but-not-cheap reputation forged by the Pixel A phone line. Excellent sound and comfort combine with useful features like always-on Google Assistant and a superb onboarding experience, which...
