Google Pixel Buds Vs Apple AirPods – The battle of the headphones
Website design By BotEap.comOn October 4, Google introduced its new flagship Pixel phones, the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. However, the main reason Google kept making fun of Apple last year seemed like a joke when Google announced its flagships without the headphone jack. Yes, this time they changed it to get an IP 67 waterproof rating.
Website design By BotEap.comAs an alternative, Google announced its brand new wireless headphones called Pixel Buds.

The main issue as of now lies with affordability, as the Pixel Buds won’t ship until November, and that’s if Google doesn’t continue to have supply issues. Website design By BotEap.comDesign Website design By BotEap.comPhysically, the wireless headsets of each organization seem fundamentally changed. Apple looks like a theoretical white flower with a long stem and a fat bud that fits in the ear. The aspect of Google, again, is round and more extensive. Everything is tight. A piece of string also ties Google’s Pixel Buds together, which is a nice touch as it means you can prevent one of the buds from falling to the ground. So design-wise, the Pixel Buds have the upper edge. However, the AirPods are the ones that complete the definition of wireless. Website design By BotEap.comcontrol S Website design By BotEap.comBoth earbuds have touch controls, however the Pixel Buds offer more. Apple AirPods let you play and pause music with a tap. The Pixel Buds let you do that too, but they also have a touch surface that lets you slide your finger across them to change the volume.

The AirPods offer Siri and the Pixel Buds offer the Google Assistant. I think it’s undeniable which is superior: Google Assistant. However, if you don’t speak English, Siri wins, as it’s available in many more dialects. Website design By BotEap.comIn any case, one region with the Pixel Buds clearly wins out is their ability to continuously translate conversations. Nobody has really tested this component yet, so we have to wait to see how well it works. Website design By BotEap.comBattery duration Website design By BotEap.comThe main reason for dispute about our mobile phones or Bluetooth headsets is the battery life. Who wants to be able to charge their headphones after using them for only an hour or two? Website design By BotEap.comHowever, it seems that Apple and Google may make sense. Both AirPods and Pixel Buds are rated for up to 5 hours of use on each charge. Website design By BotEap.comAdditionally, Apple and Google claim that their charging cases will give up to 24 hours of battery life for the earbuds. That’s a wild claim, but in my run with AirPods, it certainly holds up. Website design By BotEap.comSpeaking of charging, Apple guarantees that charging AirPods for just 15 minutes will give users an additional 3 hours of battery life. Regarding the Pixel Buds, Google claims that 15 minutes of charging will give users an additional hour of battery life. Clearly Apple gets the thumbs up here, but the mileage may fluctuate if you’re only using them with an Android device, which doesn’t exploit Apple’s W1 chip. Website design By BotEap.comConsidering the Pixel Buds haven’t been released yet, we’ll have to keep an eye out if Google’s cases hold up after a while. Website design By BotEap.comCompatibility Website design By BotEap.comBoth gadgets are compatible with the different devices of the organization. For example, AirPods are designed to be used (and all of their features can also be accessed) with iPhones, iPads, Apple TV, and Macs. Google’s Pixel Buds (as the name suggests) are meant to work with the Pixel phone line. of the organization, as well as with the recently launched Pixel Book. However, since both earphones use Bluetooth, they will work with other phones; only most of the features will not be available for those phones. Website design By BotEap.comconnectivity Website design By BotEap.comThis is by far my favorite AirPods component and I can’t say I’m that excited to see something similar coming from Google. When you open the AirPods unexpectedly around your iPhone, a message appears asking you to connect them. Website design By BotEap.comAs indicated by Google, the Pixel Buds will have a similar utility, which means that when their case is opened, they will be able to connect with your device with the touch of a button. This is HUGE as it eliminates the need to experiment and handle the irritating pairing procedure that owners of Bluetooth headsets must handle right now. Website design By BotEap.comThe best part about the Pixel Buds is that this feature will not be restricted to the Pixel 2/2 XL. Rather, you will need a device running Android 6.0 Marshmallow in any case and have Google Assistant installed on the device. Which, rather advantageously, just advanced to the Play Store as a standalone app. Website design By BotEap.comVerdict Website design By BotEap.comAirPods are definitely advantageous considering the way cables have gone, but you don’t get any extra utility when using them on an Android phone as most of the fun is reserved for iOS users. Website design By BotEap.comIn this way, the proper answer here for Android users is self-evident. If you haven’t pre-ordered your Pixel Buds yet, do so now. As someone right now claiming AirPods, I really can’t wait to get my hands (or ears) on the Pixel Buds to put them through hell. Let us know what you think and in case you take a pair.
