I was kind of skeptical at first when I decided to buy these - there were other earbuds I was considering at the time at around the same price range, and I had a pair of $20 buds at home that were still somewhat working. But, I decided to take a shot and honestly, I'm really surprised with how well these work.Bluetooth communication between the buds and my Pixel 6 have been amazing outside of one weird incident towards the beginning where music was choppy, but a quick restart on my phone fixed that. I've left my phone in my office a few times, and I can get a pretty good distance before noticing dropouts too, so it's nice not to always need the phone on my hip for these to work. Though, these do not support multipoint - afraid if you want to connect to multiple devices at the same time with a Pixel bud, you'll need to step up to the Pixel Buds Pro.Audio quality has been really good as well. I'm no audiophile by any means, but I do listen to a lot of EDM/Techno/Jazz and nothing really sounds muted. There is a setting to do Bass Boost within the Bluetooth settings that silently get installed when pairing the Buds for the first time to your phone, but I've yet to experiment with it. ANC isn't a feature on here, but just the fit of the earbuds do isolate the music to some degree from the world around. And the fit was surprisingly comfortable - the extra wing of support keeps the buds in place well that I rarely have to adjust them.Lastly, I was kind of worried about the battery before purchasing. I'd prefer something that would last my whole work day, and surprisingly, these do! Mind you, I typically only have a single bud in while I'm working because a lot of people walk into my office, but I'll swap buds around lunch time when it starts to get low on battery. They charge quickly - I'd say I could pull out my bud in about 20 minutes to it being mostly, if not fully charged. From this, I'd say I get about a week's worth of battery charge with the case.My only major complaint is that I hate that there's no tactile buttons on the buds themselves. You have to tap the G on your earbuds to bring up the Assistant, stop/play music, etc. but sometimes I'll be tapping all around the bud just trying to find that sweet spot because touch detection can be a little iffy. But, compared to my previous earbud set, this is a significant upgrade.
