    For the Gemini Live to work you have to make sure your phone is set to have Gemini as the default assistant. Your phone was likely still set to OG Google assistant.

      @@gusandrianos Maybe that was true a couple weeks ago but it does most everything I want currently. The only thing it doesn't do is add things to my shopping list.....and I just tested it and I can now add things using the pixel buds. It still won't list off the things on the list so small steps. Before that I would just ask it to open Google Keep and that essentially did the same thing on the phone.

      Which sucks because gemini can't add stuff to your shopping list or calendar reminders or weather info, so I rolled back to google assistant.

The OG's are better at that than anything else i've tried so far, but this looks very promising. Not gonna drop $230 to find out unless mine break or get lost lol

    I use these on iPhone/iPad/Mac/Windows PC and love them (work and personal). To get the features, if you have a Mac or windows PC, you get access to all most features(did not see or look for find my), can update firmware, set and things like awareness, multipoint, equalizer and etc by using the Pixel Bud Companion app. Some the features came onboard once I updated the firmware. The call quality has been good in and out of restaurants (based upon feedback I have received). My AirPods pick up small sounds, I often get complaints from family and etc who will ask “what are yin doing ? “ when it could be just crinkling paper. No complaints when using the Pixel Bud Pro 2’s. As an iPhone user, I am g,ad I bought these even while I own AirPod Pro 2’s and Bose Ultra QCII.

    I got these the other day, and these are heads and shoulders above the existing Buds Pro. I felt real buyers remorse with the previous generation. These new ones are so much smaller, more comfortable, with better noise cancelling, better than AirPods Pro (1) transparency mode, and *significantly* better tuned. The previous ones always felt muddy and veiled no matter what EQ setting. I actually preferred the Buds A over the last gen pros. Also, the newer processor is so much faster at booting the built in firmware. The previous models could take up to 8 seconds to connect while these are almost instantaneous

    Conversation detection on first Buds slaps. It not only switches to transparency, but it also pauses whatever you were listening so you can actually hear what someone's saying. Yes, it can misfire occasionally and in some weird times (like strong wind gust), but it's still an ultimate hands free way to start talking with someone.

    A bit disappointed regarding the codec mention in the video, they are BT5.4 so must support LC3 as well, and even in the video they show that it has Opus support.
    LC3 support is a big plus as low latency at higher quality, and handle bad signal a lot better, so those who are e.g. walking around the house should notice that it's better quality.
    Much prefer this over paying QC/Sony/Samsung for a codec as no guarantee that in a few years devices will still support it, and also e.g. Samsung codec without a Samsung phone.

    I understand less and less the complaint/comment about the cable, same for phone unboxings. That's literally the point; it's the purpose of USB-C unification: to stop getting a new one with every device and avoid accumulating them in a drawer. There's a 99.999% chance that the person buying this already has a USB-C cable, and for the 0.001% who doesn't, they have plenty of options everywhere to buy a single cable that suits all their needs, ensuring they get the variant that works best for them.

    I love my Pixel Buds Pro, they're so good I actually use an older Pixel 6 as an "iPod" of sorts with all my music on it in Apple Music. Love the Pixel Buds way more than the AirPods.

    I think you might need to have Gemini installed and configured on the phone the buds are paired to for the "Hello Google let's talk" feature. That just makes more sense to me rather than it being baked into the buds themselves. Again, I'm just speculating here.

    Its crazy to think that people got paid to do whatever this is supposed to be. A review? An unboxing? First thoughts? 11 minutes of pretty useless content that has the information of a 2 minute video. He doesn't know that there is a separate app for non-google phones, did not bother to click the obvious settings icon for the equalizer, didn't do something as simple to check whether convo detection will work for humming or any other noises, also said that the full feature set only works on the latest pixel devices, but in reality they work up until pixel 6 which is quite far from the "latest". Also listening impressions? Absolute bare minimum as he just covered a frequency chart and said that the earphones don't distort on higher volumes... 11 minute video where the only useful takeaways are a couple charts grabbed online and the fact that it doesn't support hi-res audio. Sure, that could also be a script writing issue but still. Yikes.

    I'm suprised the pixels buds pro 2 don't have ldac since sony partnered with google to implement ldac into android beginning with android 8.0. For lossless audio on android, it requires the snapdragon 8 gen 1 and newer processors and the bluetooth device needs to support lossless audio with the qualcomm processors with snap dragon sound. I wonder if sony will have version 2 of ldac with lossless audio support not lossy audio like it currently is with ldac. It's too bad wifi audio is not more popularized due to support for hi res audio and having higher quality than bluetooth while also having way more bandwidth than the highest quality bluetooth that is currently available. Maybe even have 4g lte and 5g audio hi res audio built into a physical sim card since mobile data has more bandwidth than bluetooth but also have the option to limit the mobile data in terms of audio resolution since not everyone has unlimited mobile data with there cell phone service provider. For example, the lowest quality would be 320 kbps lossy compression with limited monthly data plans and even connected to wifi to prevent from using all the mobile data and up to 96khz lossless audio when connected to wifi or mobile data on an unlimited mobile data plan. The quality can be changed in the settings on the phone under the mobile data settings.

  • @ericwright8592

    I've found the Pixel buds pro 2 are pretty finicky about the seal. If they aren't seated just right, they sound terrible. Same goes for active noise canceling, obviously. They're very close, but I still find myself twisting and adjusting, a good amount of the time. It's interesting when you adjust them in ear, the ANC cuts out, probably because your fingers rubbing on the microphone would cause interference and noise.
    The call quality is terrible though. The background noise cancelation is so aggressive, if you are in anything other than a silent room, it basically silences your voice and the person on the other end of the call hears nothing.

    The first PBP's were already difficult to grab from the case and your ears, so even smaller yet is not what I wanted to hear. The original Pro's were also hard to control because of their small size, so yet another reason why smaller isn't good. Then there's the transparency mode that sucked compared to the AirPods Pro 2 (lightning).

    • @alecksgates

      They are easier to grab. They stick out from the case more. That was one of the most annoying things with the PBP, especially when my fingers were sweaty.

      Have it (Pixel buds pro and pixel 8 pro), it's not that useful versus just using the normal translate app on your phone, all it adds is that after phone translates it will do text to speech. Not that useful as person you're talking with doesn't really see you reading translation or anything, so makes it awkward as other person thinks you're taking a call instead.
