I'm not an earbuds person.

I've got BOSE QC35 II for regular use and Powerbeats Pro for active use. Even the latter bothers me a bit since they're like an earbud hybrid. I think you're either an earbud person or you're not. Or maybe I just need custom fit headphones.

I picked these up to replace my first-gen Pixel Buds, and I'm in love. They're comfortable, sound great, enhanced by some clever features, and the charging case is simply brilliant - and a surprising amount of fun to fidget with. I'm really impressed with the way the silicone tips gently seal against my earhole while the magic "spatial vent" equalizes the pressure so that I don't feel like I'm underwater.

Earbuds are definitely a personal preference kind of thing, but I would definitely recommend these to earbud people who want great sound and comfort without being completely isolated from the outside world.

Any tips on who might be selling the black version soon?

I imagine everyone currently selling the white ones will sell the black ones once those are available - "in the coming months", of course.

Is black version available?

well if you read the previous posts, you will know that on google site it says " in the coming months".....so no it is not available yet. but soon.

i kind of like the mint color myself.....i guess i will join the waitlist for that one and see.

I joined the wait list for black. I've been pretty excited about the release of these so I'm glad to hear some positive feedback. I'll probably be getting a pair when they're available.

I have the QC35II as well! Love it. I opted for the airpods pro because I gave my airpods 2 to my wife (I bought them a few months ago, new). I need the airpods because of the superior call quality. I'm always on the phone or teaching on Skype or FaceTime on iPad. I was seriously thinking of the sony, but apple won out on the call quality, though sony wins out on audio quality. I read somewhere that the Pixel Buds didn't have great call quality. Oh well.

But the Bose? I love Bose!

I'm currently usingAirPods。The AirPods fit easily in your ears and are shaped to be ergonomic, with the in-ear portion designed similarly to Apple's wired headphones. However, the Google Pixel Buds involve a design based on "scans of thousands of ears" for a "customizable and secure fit," according to the Pixel website.

To be honest I want to share something with you guys. There are a lot of people who suffers just like me using I phone ear phone. They use plastic at the end of your ear phone and we are supposed to put that in our ear. So scientifically speaking, there are lots of people whose ear holes are smaller. I have smaller ear hole and those ear phone does not fit inside my ear. If I phone ever makes an ear phone with rubber just like pixel i would definitely buy one day.
