ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:

PHYSICAL:
Comfort = pretty good, but no adjustable wingtips. I took them out after 2.5 hrs, but no issues
Good for workouts? Decent, but it depends on how well the wings fit you
Durability - shake test, IPX4 water resistance
Case = pretty nice size, shape, and design with hidden LEDs
Auto play/pause
Dual mics and speech accelerometer
Qi wireless charging and USB-C
Colors: a bunch of them

MICROPHONE TEST

CONTROLS
“Hey Google”
Swipe (vol up/down)
Tap (1 = play, 2 = next, 3 = prev, hold = assistant)

INTERNALS:
Connection type: Single Point
Multi-pairing = No
Bluetooth type: Bluetooth 5.0
Lag = 30ms on Galaxy phone
Battery = 5 hrs, and 24 including the case
**Right earbud dies faster for me (30%:36%)

AUDIO QUALITY: Follow me on spotify
Overall decent audio quality, but certainly not #1 for a lot of reasons
12mm drivers
Codecs = AAC
Poor passive noise isolation
Clean, crisp audio
Great for acoustic Neil Young and decent for other music, but not the buds for audiophiles
Tight bass with ability to hit subsonic frequencies, but very very weak
Weak instrument separation, some congestion
Mid horns or guitars drown out everything else
Vibrant high mids
Mid mids are powerful - high bass lines sound good
20Hz-15kHz
Not very warm or full sounding

APP TOUR AND FEATURES


CONS:
No ANC
No transparency mode
No adjustable wing tip
Cannot customize touch controls
No EQ

PROS:
Touch gestures
Very small
Google assistant integration
Wireless charging!
Intelligent Google features and potential for cool updates

These feel like they were designed based on the AirPods Pro gold standard when there are so many other earbuds that have better qualities than airpods:
* poor app controls
* no EQ
* wireless charging and top flip case
* decent sound but not great
* meh battery life
* touchless voice assistant
