The Tensor chip drives 11mm dynamic drivers with a high-frequency chamber for spatial audio and head tracking, while Silent Seal 2.0 ANC cancels twice as much noise as the prior generation. A twist-to-adjust stabilizer locks earbuds in place during exercise, and Gemini AI enables hands-free voice commands. These suit Android users who prioritize effective noise cancellation and AI assistance during commutes and workouts.

What owners think
How owner sentiment changed over time
ExclusiveBased on when customers actually wrote their reviews — so you can see whether early praise held up.
- Q1 202688/100
Buyers praise rich sound, comfort, and battery life. Minor issues with call quality, noise cancellation, and gesture controls noted.
- Sound quality is rich, immersive, and rivals competitors like Beats and Bose.
- Comfort and fit are good but some users find ear tips don't seat tightly.
- Call quality and microphone performance are mediocre according to one reviewer.
- Automatic pause and head gesture features don't work reliably in noisy environments.
- Q1 202533/100
Mixed but leaning negative. Positive reviews praise sound, fit, and ease of use with both Pixel and iPhones. However, critical reports of audio glitches, robotic sound, and a major volume defect after only one month raise serious reliability concerns.
- Sound quality praised as crystal clear and great after proper fit.
- Right earbud volume drops severely after one month, especially with single-bud use.
- Audio sounds robotic and running produces loud skin-thumping noise.
- Easy pairing and seamless connection with Pixel and iPhone.
