Google Pixel Buds A Series: Simple and wonderful technical skills, that is, where Google is good at
simple.Can be used.Google.
Currently, Father's Day sale is being held at Google Store in Japan.Google Pixel Buds is also eligible for sale, but at this timing you will want to wait a lot because the A series is right there.Released in Canada, USA in the middle of this month.In Japan, you can register a waiting list on the official website and release it later this year?By the way, let's take a look at the Gizmodo editorial department before the US release!
Until a while ago, Google products had an impression that they were not surprising.I don't have a personality.What changed was the appearance of Pixel 3a.We have set a nice approach to consumers that are simple and beautiful, and many people are easy to reach.The Pixel Buds A series applied the approach on this smartphone to the earphones.It is a product that has been dropped into a cheap package of $ 99, taking the good of Pixel Buds (2020 edition) released last year.
Pixel Buds A series
What is this?: Google budget wireless earphones.
Price: $ 99 (about 1800 yen).
Good place: Equipped with the best comfort, clear and sharp sound, simple design and setting, compact charging case, and touch control.
Unfortunately: The battery owners are not bundled, the charging adapter is not bundled, wireless charging is not compatible.
As with the previous model, the A series also has a SF -chick egg -shaped charging case.The matte feeling is comfortable to touch.There is an indicator light in the center of the case.There is a button for pairing on the back.Although there are two color variations, there are white and olive green, but I can't see it at a glance.If you open it, the color of the inside and the lid will be different, and if you look closely, you can see the internal color around the lid even if you close the case.
The biggest difference from the previous model in the charging case is that the A series can only be wired by USB-C.Pixel Buds (2020), which is also compatible with wireless charging, had a price at the time of its release, so the $ 99 A series had to select a function, so this is inevitable.I can't help it ... I can't help but I can't help but think of the Qi wireless charging function.The convenience of just putting it on the charging pad is the best.This is a shame because earphones can enjoy that convenience most than smartphones.
Google has a battery of 5 hours.3-4 hours plus in case full charge.Not bad.It's not a drawback to buy others for 5 hours.However, because it's average, it's a place where I want Google to work a little more.
Compared to the 5 hours of the A series, it is the same as Pixel Buds (2020), Galaxy Buds Pro (ANC On), and AirPods.Galaxy Buds+is 11 hours, Galaxy Buds Live is 6 to 7 hours, and Sony's WF-1000XM3 is 6 hours.However, the last three are higher than the A series, so 5 hours is not good, but not bad.
Aside from the fluttering battery, pixel buds are all simple, easy to use, and easy to understand.If you install Pixel smartphone users or Pixel Buds apps in advance, the pairing of the terminal and the A series is very easy.Tap a few taps the app and you're done.I'm not a Pixel user, and I'm not preparing for the app!The only thing to do is do the procedure along the app installation guide, or if you do it more easily, just press and hold the button behind the charging case until the indicator shines (Apple/Windows terminal users only press the manual pairing to press the button.)
The earphone body is equipped with a touch control function, it is good to be able to play and stop in one tap, send songs in two taps, and return the song with three taps.The recent Google terminals are also supported by Google Assistant, of course, and can be activated by tapping and long press or voice control.In addition to the useful functions such as notifications and language translation, we can also ask Google Assistant for simple operations such as volume up and down.
What I want to evaluate in the A series is that I did not mess with the design of Pixel Buds (2020).Thanks to ear chips and fixed arches, perfect fit during exercise.I personally think that Pixel Buds is the most fit in the earphones that I've been reviewing so far.There are three types of eartips included, S/M/L, but I was perfect for the M size with default.It is an earphone with a simple design that is too comfortable and does not get in the way, so I have been sleeping several times during the review period.
The sound quality of the A series is equivalent to the previous model Pixel Buds (2020), which should have a considerable price difference (at the time of release), clear and sharp.Sound quality similar to Google Smuspi.I heard Pnau's "Go Bang", but the vocal reproduction of Kira Divine was good, and the treble and middle tone seemed tight.Pixel Buds has no customizable equalizer or preset equalizer, but there is a BASS BOOST setting.If you use this, the bass will be heavy.
Not surprisingly, the A series does not have an active no -can.However, thanks to the chips and fixed arches, passive noikan is quite good.To some extent, the outside sound is shut down.In addition, there is a small ventilation inside, so you don't feel clogged, and you can hear the sound that can be grasped around.For those who have a lot of walking in the city, this is helpful for commuting and commuting.In addition, there is an Adaptive Sound setting, which automatically adjusts the volume according to the surrounding environment.The call is clear because it has a built -in beam forming microphone.
The A series is a magical earphone!Not.It's too great and other earphones look hazy!It is not the case.That's right, because it's $ 99.
It's my personal impression, but I think it's better than AirPods.The A series is overwhelmingly good and cheaper.I feel like the sound is good ...I think it's better than Galaxy Buds if it's just comfortable.Galaxy Buds +'s overwhelming battery has an overwhelming battery.People who value the battery are Galaxy Buds+.
For those who are looking for a simple and fairly good wireless earphone, the A series is perfect.Especially for Android terminal users, the A series can be called (wireless earphones) first choice.Impression that it is a product that does what you can do but do what you can do.Simple, easy to use, affordable.It is a terminal that did everything that Google was good at.
