Google Pixel Buds Vs Apple AirPods – The Battle Of The Earbuds

On October 4, Google introduced its new flagship Pixel phones, the Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL. However, the biggest reason for which Google kept on mocking Apple last year seemed like a joke when Google announced their flagships without the headphone jack. Yes, this time they traded it off for getting IP 67 water resistance rating.

As an alternative Google announced its own new branded wireless earbuds called Pixel Buds. The buds follow in the strides of Apple’s own wireless earbuds, the trade in airpods, that implies everybody will be comparing the two wireless buds choosing which one to go for. We have assembled this comparison to help you out in your decision.

Price

Getting the greatest obstacle off the beaten path, to begin with, there is very little to compare between these two choices, as the AirPods and Pixel Buds are both estimated at $159. The main issue as of now lies in accessibility since the Pixel Buds will not dispatch until November, and that is if Google does not keep running into any supply issues.

Design

Physically, each organization’s wireless earbuds look fundamentally changed. Apple’s resembles a white theoretical blossom with a long stem and a fat bud that fits in your ear. Google’s then again looks are round and more extensive. Everything is scrunched together. A length of rope likewise fastens Google’s Pixel Buds together, which is a pleasant touch as it implies it could prevent one of the buds from tumbling to the ground. So design wise Pixel Buds have the upper edge. However, AirPods are the one who completes the definition of wireless.

Controls

Both earbuds have tap controls, however, the Pixel Buds offer more. Apple’s AirPods enable you to play and pause music by means of a tap. The Pixel Buds enable you to do that as well, yet they likewise have a touch surface that enables you to swipe crosswise over them to change the volume.

AI Assistants & Translation

Obviously, both earbuds offer each organization’s AI assistants (directed through your cell phone). The AirPods offer Siri and the Pixel Buds offers Google’s Assistant. I believe it is undeniable which is superior: Google’s Assistant. Nevertheless, in case you are a non-English speaker, Siri wins, as it is accessible in numerous more dialects.

In any case, one region with the Pixel Buds wins clearly is their capacity to translate conversations continuously. Nobody has really attempted this component yet, so we have to hold up to perceive how well it functions.

Battery Life

The greatest purpose of the dispute concerning our cell phones or Bluetooth earphones is battery life. Who needs to manage to charge their earphones in the wake of utilizing them for only an hour or two?

Yet it appears that Apple and Google may have things made sense of. Both the AirPods and Pixel Buds are evaluated for up to 5 hours of utilization with each charge.

Moreover, Apple and Google both claim that their charging cases will give up to 24 hours of battery life for the earphones. That is a wild claim, yet in my opportunity with the AirPods, it certainly holds up.

Talking about charging, Apple guarantees that the charging the AirPods for only 15 minutes will give users to 3 hours of additional battery life. With respect to the Pixel Buds, Google asserts that 15 minutes of charging will give users an additional hour of battery life. Clearly, Apple gets approval here, yet mileage may fluctuate in case you are just utilizing them with an Android gadget, which does not exploit Apple’s W1 chip.

Considering the way that the Pixel Buds are not released yet, we will need to keep a watch out if Google’s cases hold up after some time.

Compatibility

Both gadgets are compatible with the organization’s different devices. For instance, AirPods are intended to be utilized (and have every one of its highlights accessible as well) with iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs, and Macs. Google’s Pixel Buds (as the name proposes) are intended to work with the organization’s Pixel telephone line as well as with recently launched Pixel Book.
