So I've been meaning to try these out
0:01
The Google Pixel Buds, sort of Google's answer to the Apple AirPods
0:06
It has its own charge case, but there's still a cable involved. This cable goes around the back of your neck
0:11
Would have been nice to see a fully wireless design. Comes in the different colors to match the phone
0:16
This is the Just Black version. My understanding is this is gonna work really well with the Pixel device
0:21
We gotta try it out. There's the little case. That's small, that's portable
0:26
Type-C connector over here. Pretty straightforward. Boom. There's two contact points on each of the two earbuds for the right and the left
0:37
Adjust the amount of slack. Kinda cool. So it fits in this area here and then you close it
0:43
Do you? Unlock your phone and turn on Bluetooth. Bluetooth is already on
0:47
Open the case next to your phone with the buds still inside
0:51
Right within the OS shows a picture of the earbuds. Yes, I'd like to connect
0:55
Now it's explaining the fit to me. This way. So meet your Google Assistant, hear your messages, calendar events and other important info
1:04
All I do is touch and hold the right earbud. Hey Google, what can you do
1:09
She said you can say things like play music or what's the weather. What's the weather
1:13
Nine degrees Celsius, partly cloudy. Nailed it. Did the Raptors win their last game
1:18
No, the Raptors lost 122 to 119 yesterday versus the Wizards. That nice The real killer feature here beyond your notifications and Google Assistant is also Google Translate for obvious reasons Hi my name is Louis I am your friend
1:38
Okay, let's bring in our special guest, okay? Everybody, round of applause
1:42
Barry, our helpful Mandarin speaker today. You must have used an app like this before
1:48
Yeah. But you would just hold it up to the other person and then pass it back
1:52
Say something in Mandarin back to me. Hello, how are you today
1:58
I just heard that in the Pixel Buds. So I could say back to you, Hi there, I'm doing very well
2:03
And thank you very much for helping me out with this video right here. It's pretty good
2:15
I mean, there's a couple missing words a little bit, but I understand the whole content. This is convenient right here
2:20
Because the other person doesn't need to have anything. I could just pass my phone here, and I would have the headset, and you and I back and forth
2:28
What do you think? Not bad? Pretty good. Now, what would happen if we both had Pixel Buds
2:33
Hmm. What would happen if we both had Pixel Buds? If we have all the teeth, then we're very happy
2:43
I didn't translate the Pixel Buds. You're not happy right now. Not really
2:47
You're not happy right now. Okay, let's get more complicated then. It preposterous how intricate making an unbox therapy video is for our extravagant audience not really no no preposterous magnificent
3:16
you're gonna kind of adjust a little bit slow it down a little bit if you are a pixel owner
3:21
They integrate really nicely. There's nothing better than Google Translate. I mean, it's got so many languages in it
3:26
I realized I didn't listen to music on these. I think they probably sound a little bit better than AirPods
3:36
You can't really put them on par with like some dedicated over-ear headphones or something
3:41
They're not really there, but I was recently in India. Although most people speak English there
3:45
But in the event that they didn't, I could have been... I could have done..
3:49
I could have... Understand more. That's right. So I gave this a little bit more thought
3:58
It's an expensive pair of earbuds. A lot of promise with the whole translation aspect
4:03
It all sounds very good. There's actually a lot of drawbacks to this
4:07
You don't have a fully wireless design. I don't particularly find them to be the most comfortable earbuds either
4:14
They don't fit in my ears that great. They don't block the surrounding sound at all
4:19
So don expect some kind of isolation here Also this big compelling feature with the translation it cool but really you just using Google Translate for now It
4:31
not quite real-time. The only difference is one person's audio is being heard
4:36
privately. I can't help but feel at this point that this product here is sort of
4:40
like a 1.0 and there's a lot of room to grow there. It doesn't seem like a
4:45
a legitimate airpod competitor as it stands right now. As of right now, given the price, given the 1.0 status of this product, I can't recommend
4:55
it to you. I'm going to say do not buy the Pixel Buds
4:59
Wait for the next version. They got to get better. Happy Chinese New Year. 中国同地新年快乐
5:06
Get out of here. No chance. How do we shorten it? Just be like, uh,新年快乐
5:15
Xin yan kwaile! Oh that was perfect. I can't get Zhu Li
5:21
Zhu Li... Zhu Ni Xin Yan Kwaile! Did I nail it? Yeah that was perfect
5:31
He said perfect! Zhu Ni... Zhu Ni Xin Yan Kwaile! You happy
5:39
Do you want to say anything to the world? Hey mom, hey dad
5:43
See, you gotta say hi to somebody, alright? It's not easy, alright? Give him a thumb
5:47
Thank you very much. Thanks, man. Thanks. Appreciate it. Xin yang kwaela
5:51
Oh, that was pretty weird
