I'll be looking at the reviews with interest. I wanted to like the original Pixel Buds but the first pair I got were duds (though support was good about shipping me a new pair) but then the second pair eventually died and wouldn't charge. I'm hoping these work better. I looked at reviews for the originals after I bought them and the reviews weren't great, so maybe I should have looked at them before... I like the auto-volume adjustment as long as you can put a max volume on it. If the ambient noise is loud, I don't want my music to get even louder so I can hear it over the noise; I worry about protecting my hearing. If anything, I'd rather the buds decide to just turn off if they decide the noise is too loud to play over.
