What's up with google and their inability to: A. Launch products, both software and hardware, worldwide (or at least majority of countries). B. Launch products with clear dates and not just "Join a waiting list". At least in German store that's the only option.
The issue is that most people (that I've noticed in the US) just have them in their ears ALL DAY. The earbuds/airbuds/headhphones are connected to cellular phones (and hence transmitting just to stay connected).
That CAN'T be good for your ears/brain...Not an doctor myself but just common sense I believe? Anyone has any idea...am I just tripping?
“We aren’t in your region yet” - OK, I’ll go back to my AirPods then.
Yeah, I really don't get why they don't just release them everywhere. The same for all their products btw. In the Netherlands they still sell the old Google Wifi (1st gen), which is apparently their main product as it is the first thing you see when you go to the store site here.
I wonder how much electro magnetic radiation they will emit...there were quite a few scaremongering videos out there about the airpods...or bluetooth headphones in general.

"Get real-time translations right in your ear". This immediately made me think of the babelfish from Hitchhiker's Guide. Looking forward to reading some reviews of these.
It's the same as using Google Translate in conversation mode, but without needing a phone to understand what the other person is saying. For two-way communication you do still need your phone though, because that will display the translation of what you just said back to the person you're speaking to.
It's still pretty cool, but it's not the futuristic technology it makes it out to be.
The connecting cord is my favorite part of my Pixel Buds (1).
