Android Google's new Pixel Buds Pro are yet another pair of wireless earbuds atop a gigantic pile of already available options. So what do the Pixel Buds Pro offer that other tiny ones don't? Not much. The earbuds do feature Google Assistant, but that feature requires a paired Android 6.0 device or later. (Otherwise the Pixel Buds Pro should work with any other Bluetooth device, iOS included.)

Retailing for about $200, the Pixel Buds Pro compete directly against Sony's Linkbuds S and play in the same space as Apple's AirPods Pro. After spending several days with the audio product, I was less impressed than I expected to be. There's little here that makes them feel unique or stand out above the competition.
