What do the Pixel Buds Pro need to succeed? Some advice from the Android Police podcast

Our editor-in-chief Daniel Bader can’t help himself. He knows he has a crate full for wireless earbuds, but he’s still tantalized by what the Pixel Buds Pro might be able to offer. What are the expectations and will these new buds live up to them? We talk about it this week on the Android Police podcast.

If you enjoy the show, please try and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform — we’re still pretty new off of our reboot and we’re going to need all the help we can get to become sustainable. Thanks!
