Listen up for great audio from Google
The Pixel Buds A-Series were designed for Android users in mind, namely people who use the Google Pixel smartphone or one of Google’s other devices. But you can use them with just about anything, you don’t have to be an Android phone user. Most importantly, they sound fantastic, They have 12mm dynamic drivers that bring a surprising amount of depth, and if you’re into bass-heavy tracks, you can use the Bass Boost feature to bring that out in your favorite songs.
They’re lightweight and stay in place thanks to a low-profile design and soft stabilizer arcs that gently hook into your ear. You get three ear tip sizes in the box, so you can find the right fit by trying them all out. And once you do, they feel secure enough for workouts, walks, or long days of wear. They’re also rated IPX4, so if you happen to drop them in a puddle or they happen to get dusty, you don’t have to worry about ruining them.
These buds are also integrated with Google Assistant, so you have tons of hands-free options to work with. You can summon it hands-free just by saying “Hey Google,” which lets you choose songs to listen to, change settings on a Google hub, and more. You can opt for the buds’ touch controls instead as well if you’d prefer instead of using your voice.

Battery life is decent. You get up to 5 hours on a single charge, with another 19 hours from the included quick charging case. A quick 15-minute top-up gives you around 3 hours of playtime, which is perfect when you’re in a rush. So you don’t have to stop listening, and instead you can plug them in for a bit.
There’s one caveat, though. They don’t have active noise cancellation. But they’re still helpful when it comes to blocking noise thanks to their passive seal, so just toss them in to block out the world when needed.
For $59, down from $99, the Pixel Buds A-Series are an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable pair of earbuds. They won’t blow your budget, but they will absolutely upgrade your everyday listening experience.
