SeekerGoogle Pixel USB-C Earbuds
The Google Pixel USB-C Earbuds are disappointing for mixed usage. Their near-total absence of noise isolation capability and cheap build quality make them a bad fit for commuting and office work while their boomy sound profile and middling frequency response consistency make them inadequate for neutral sound. However, they have a microphone with impressive recording quality and a fairly stable, decently comfortable fit.

The Google Pixel USB-C Earbuds have the brains, but not the sonic brawn, to make them the all-around mobile companion they should be.
