  • It is interesting that the price has already dropped on the P8 and is expected to continue to drop thru black Friday.

    This is precisely why I never buy new anymore, having been burned by two previous Pixel releases in the past.

    This chip situation doesn’t bode well for my continued Pixel use however.

    Software is important but it isn’t everything, and like the article said raw horsepower does matter. For me. The most important things are battery, life display brightness, and cellular connectivity - something my pixel 6 Pro objectively fails at on all three fronts.

    Combine that with all of the data theft that Google software utilizes, and I think I’m pretty much done.



  • I love mine. Have had them since launch, and previously had the Airpods pro.

    There are things I love about the pixel buds and things I hate. The noise cancelling is phenomenal when you get the seal right in your ear, which is rare.

    One of my ears just doesn’t jive with the pixel buds. I’ve tried different sizes, cleaning them routinely, and even looking at third party tips.

    The sound is excellent and I love the assistant functions and gesture features that are built in that the airpods don’t have. At the same time the tap / hold function to enable or disable ANC is annoying is shit for when all you’re trying to do is adjust the earbud. In my case that’s often.

    Overall I would pick them up for $130. The battery life alone makes them probably worth that.
