Heh we probably have the same set, and yep for $25 I am happy if I get 1 year out of them. Actually I’ve had them almost 18 months and still working great.
I have a random nuisance question and didn’t have any luck googling for an answer…
I get alerts from Google about miscellaneous news stories based on my search history and generally I don’t mind them. Sometimes they’re interesting. But if I swipe right to dismiss the alerts from my lock screen, they come back three or four times a day. I don’t want to disable them entirely but I only want to see each alert one time.
Any clue wtf is goin’ on?!?! tnx
That’s been happening to me too. I don’t have an answer, it’s pretty annoying.
Can you swipe down on the notification and say you’re not interested?
Swipe DOWN?! What a radical notion! I’ll give it a try and report back when I get a chance.
Anyone else with a Pixel2XL have shitty performance in the last week or two? Coincides with a security update but it could just be a coincidence.

I’ve had mine going on 2 years and still working great! I tend not to use them during the cold months since I mainly use them mowing and jogging outside.
Swipe down gives me the Useful / Not Useful option. But I tried a swipe left and I think that did the trick! Thanks, Adam!
Hey, what kind of charger do you need for those, anyway?
USB to micro usb cord. Comes with the buds.
Cool, so just hook it up to an available USB port on a PC or whatever. Thanks and bought.

Nope, no noticeable changes in performance here.
That said, I’m on the March 5th security update - do you have something newer?
Finally something really useful from Google!
Would that this announcement hadn’t come out on April 1st (my B-day incidentally).
BTW, what’s the best strategy for keeping these in your ears? Loop the wire over them or something?
So, do you ever get those free birthday desserts and such? Or do they just tell you “hah, nice April Fools joke” when you tell them it’s your birthday? :)
Good question. Honestly it’s been a long time since I’ve gone out to eat with folks on my birthday (yesterday I had Thai takeout with my mom, sister, brother, sister-in-law and 4 year-old nephew to celebrate) so I haven’t tried it lately. If I did and I got that jokey but serious response I’d just show them my driver’s license, which has possibly the worst picture of me ever (and that’s saying something, since I’m not photogenic at all), and they’d have to believe it was real, because who would show such a picture of themselves, right? :-)

They stay in pretty nicely. They have kind of a rubbery hook that nestles in the outer part of your ear.

I have a set from the same company (I think it’s a slightly different model). I almost returned mine because they kept falling out of my ears, but I did a lot of experimentation with the different combinations of the hook robc04 mentioned and the tips and finally found a combo that holds them in great.
