It's been pretty rock solid for me, using Air Pods. The only time I have any trouble is when I connect one ear and then switch to the other, but once connection has been made it's been good.
Got a tip for us?

Yeah, AirPods are the bees knees. But couldn't use them due to loud noises and no seal.
What's your usage like? I had a pair of Samsung Icon X headphones and they were awesome, but battery life was pretty bad, would max out at about 2 hours usage before having to stick them back in their case it if that works for you, I would highly recommend them.
I wear them at work while I clean up somewhere between two hours and eight hours a day depending on what day it is. How long is the charge?
About 2 hrs per usage, the case has enough juice to recharge them twice, so you get about six hours total, but remember you can charge the case while using the headphones. My big gripe was that I tend to listen for hours on end, and 2 hours is just too short for me.
Better, but still no go. I'll just have to wait and hope my problem disappears on its own. It mainly screws up if I'm moving fast (fork truck or bike) and turn my head to the left.
Thanks anyway.
Is it strange we haven't had any leaked images for the XL 2...
Article doesn't go into much depth, but it's exciting to think that we may see some proper Google headphones/earbuds coming later this year. Here's to hoping we get these in the box with the Pixel 2 and 2 XL!
The Pixel 2 is probably getting smart Google headphones

Evan Blass seems to think Google will announce it on October 5th.
There will be 517 units manufactured at launch, should get more by 2019.

So the 128GB version will be available in stock come March 2019.
I hope this isn't another launch, with extremely limited supply and out of stock mostly.

I hope that it isn't too, though still expect the launch to be nothing but an exercise in frustration and disappointment at not being able to purchase one.
We need a good solid xl 2 leak soon. I need my phone fix.
I think I'm just going to skip it. It's so close now to when a new phone will be announced and I've kind of gone back to using my Note 5 as my daily and leaving my S8+ and S7 Edge at home. The Note 5 is still super fast and the battery still lasts as if it were new. I can easily make it last another year. The Note 8 doesn't interest me because I have the S8+ already.
The Note 5 was so far ahead of the pack that it's still very viable as a flagship. You're the only smart one here versus all of us dummies spending money every year.
Between Note 8 and cheaper S8 models, the LG V30 and cheaper G6, and the iPhone 7S models and the iPhone 8, the Google Pixel 2 is going to have to be pretty special to stand out. For those pure Android enthusiasts who really value immediate software updates, the Pixel is a given, but for the mainstream and general users, will the Pixel 2 be able to stand out in such a crowd?
Especially if the smaller of the two looks so similar to last year's? Apple can get away with the 7S models looking three years old because, well, Apple, but Google can't pull that same stunt, I don't think. Can the Pixel 2 XL stand out?

Supposedly the Pixel 2 XL will join that party. It should be similar to the G6 or V30, apparently, since it's being made by LG.
It's the smaller of the two, the regular Pixel, that's rumored to retain the same bezels from last year, which I think is a big mistake from Google. This one is being made by HTC, a company that doesn't have a single flagship with anything near bezel-less.
But even so, even with the Pixel 2 XL design, I'm not positive the Pixel 2 will stand out in any special way.
Yeah I just commented in the v30 thread about the rumored $749 pricing. You can be sure the XL2 will be $1000 to match the iPhone 8, but if it's just a Google branded v30 then that's price gouging for sure. Although I already feel the pixel lineup is price gouging as Google is double dipping by making money off your eyeballs AND making money off the hardware sale.
I'd be shocked if the Pixel 2 XL is near $1000 just to price match the iPhone 8. I predict it'll remain in the $750-850 range.
The current Pixel lineup is definitely overpriced.
Depends on storage. I can see the higher storage priced at $900, after tax your getting really close to $1,000
