Pixel Buds: Specs, Price, Release Date

Google's single-minded quest right now is to make Google Assistant absolutely unavoidable. From your phone to your living room to your TV to your laptop to your car, the company wants to make sure its virtual helper stays readily available no matter where you are. That, more than a desire for great sound quality or terrific connectivity, explains the new Pixel Buds headphones. At Google's second annual fall hardware gala today, the company announced its first-ever set of headphones. They're wireless earbuds, connected by a rope-like cable that goes behind your head or around your neck.
