Personally, I'm in love with the Bose sound sport wireless. I suppose I'll give pixel buds a try, but I'm tempted to sell them for a higher quality Bose product. What do you guys think?
Seen any reviews so far?

Seen a couple reviews from the initial hands on demos, and a guy that had a dummy set, just to get the feel of em. I'm digging the assistant more so than looking for them to compete with Bose on sound quality. Not a free pass, though. If I'm going to pay $160 they'd better sound decent. I just don't think "best sounding ever" is their focus.

Google should give them free to the XDA Pixel XL2 members for testing....
absolutely. HAHA
But in my opinion the google buds are waaaay to expensive.
I mean, the only advantage of having them is maybe the translation or am I wrong?
I get better sound with cheaper earphones and i can also use google assistant by longpressing the most earphones.

This sounds Bah-Humbug I know but to me they look too big and ear ring like.
I'll demo some when they come available for said but I'll bet future versions will get smaller.

i picked up the Sony MDR-1000x when it was on sale for $230 .. sounds pretty great despite it being a noise-cancellation headphones. Not to mention, one of the few BT headphones that supports LDAC codec.
These dont seem like they would seal in the ear.. does it have a silicone piece that goes in the ear or is it just hard plastic?... I always like samsungs earbuds over apples because of this

Why would google make Bluetooth 4.2 buds rather than the 5.0 that their new phone supports?
I have a pair of AKG Y50bt headphones that I got from a Samsung promotion that I'll be using with mine.
why bluetooth 5.0 headphones is still not available in market? Now there are many smartphones having bluetooth 5.0 technology.
I have few wireless headsets in the house but I am waiting for the reviews to decide on pixel buds

Burn me at the stake but I’ve been debating getting some AirPods now that there’s an app to remap the double tap to Google Assistant.
I've ordered my Pixel buds. Waiting on them to ship. Sometime in Nov. Looking forward to the Google Assistant aspect of them. I got a pair of U Flex headphones to use with my Note8 and the Bixby button is handy for my preset quick commands I use with Bixby.
I have a pair of Skybuds that worked fine with my Pixel XL, so I'll use them with the 2 XL too.
I'm interested in the Pixel Buds, but I can't find any info on Bluetooth version or driver specifications, even on the official Google Store page. Weird.

I have been so happy with the Plantronic Backbeat Fit that I have bought 3 pairs of them. My problem with the pixel buds is that they are just like all the other common earbuds now that have a 'rope' connecting them and then have apparently poor anchorage into the ear. Whereas the Backbeat Fit have a 'connector' that doesn't drag on your neck and have an over the ear anchor so that you can thrash to your hearts content and they will not come dislodged. I've found with the others you have to really mash them into your ear to get them to stick which I can't stand. Might buy Pixelbuds as a toy or to use when I'm not being active -- dependent on reviews.
I'm waiting for reviews on the Libratone [made for Google] on ear ones. Can't do in ear for long durations.
