Hey bud – how the heck does that stay in your ear? Google emits latest Pixel Buds, plus extra bloatware if you have the matching phone

Maybe they can do it because they don't nearly the same amount of hardware and features that the Pixel Buds have? I mean, sure, those features aren't gonna be for everybody, but okay. They're not meant to be for everybody. But good luck trying to ring your cheap earbuds if you lose one. Good luck trying to use the "Hey Google" hotword to activate your assistant on your bud if you need it. And ofc, good luck trying the different gestures on the cheap bud without a touch pad. All I'm saying is, the cheaper ones have less stuff to drain it's battery. And if lasting a while is what matters most to you, great. Stick to that

Re: An open letter to Google

I mean, I'm very sure Apple does something very similar with their whole AirPod stuff, except those things come through system updates, so people end up just seeing them as "added features". But because Google decides to update this thing as if it were an app on the Play Store, suddenly it's not just a feature being added. It really isn't an issue whatsoever when all it is, is a damn update to the Bluetooth stuff. And plus, that "app" had actually been around around for quite a long while anyways, except it was just hidden. They just pulled a switch, and released an update for it.
