Listening to podcasts in mono via a single earbud is my favorite use of the AirPods. So glad they're not wired behind the neck like these Pixel Buds.

#12I can't wait until I start getting ads for things I talked about.
Isn't it already happening ?

You don't already?

#14This looks fantastic. Love my Airpods, but the 'tap for Siri' feature so rarely works for me, let alone language translation. Language translation is clearly an area Google is really pioneering too. Shame about the cable though. The one (surprising) benefit of no cable is that the cable doesn't tug on the earphones, making them less likely to come out.
My immediate thought is that the cable will greatly diminish the chance of losing one or both. Never thought about the tugging.
Yes, the lack of the cable in my experience means that they are more secure in your ears, not less, as everyone laughed that they would be.

#15I think you have to still use your phone give it to the person who you are talking with.A phone is the one actually sending the translated voice to the earphone.
I don't see what is so different in here.

I use the Bose SoundSport wireless headphones that have same design and never had a problem with tugging. I use them daily walking from a park and ride to work (~ 1 mile one way) and in the gym. The most I do is move the cord to the front of neck for squats.
I like having the cord as I can pull the buds from my ears and let them hang around my neck when I stop to talk to someone.
I originally got them because I kept yanking the cord of my wired ear buds when walking and found wired headphones really inconvenient in the gym.

They _look_ more silly, though! But I love my Airpods.

#18How easy/tough it will be for Apple to allow this?
Re: Google’s Airpods competitor do real-time language translation
#19Can someone explain? Since everything is done on the cloud what is so special about these buds? Why can't you do the same with a regular headset (which also has a microphone) and Google Assistant running on any Android or iOS device?
It is possible NOT everything is done on cloud. It is normal that parts of the model reside on the device itself, for efficiency concerns.
Still doesn't explain why the implementation is tied to the headphones and not the cloud-proxy-client (the smartphone/tablet/computer)

Do they have any way to not allow this? How could they stop it?
