I agree, not sure why people hate on these so much. The original MSRP is quite bad, but at this price they stack up well and above several other competitors. Great integration with the Google ecosystem as well if you're using that (Pixel, Chromebook, Slate, etc).
Way too many hot garage buds floating in the $50-80 range, with a crap ton of Chinese knock offs for Samsung flooding the market.

Things I don't like
1) they fit well for stationary listening but they loosen up really fast when I'm eating. The cheurlhasbeenblocked causes them to move.
2) they have a find my buds feature but it doesn't unless the buds are on. The whole point is to be able to find them if you misplaced them somewhere in the house.
3) no noise cancelling. For most situations the volume is loud enough to block out sound but sometimes outside noise is too prevalent.
I'm sure they improved the sound a bit and maybe improved something else too, but I'm not an audiophile so I jumped on the Buds+.
I've had these for about 6 months from the Verizon deal. Absolutely would never buy full price but at $140 it was a better option than the buds+(for me) and at $75 that's slick.
I think the hate on these come from the Google brand. Since they're a big name they should pump out the best products and these actually meet all of my expectations. The wireless headphone market is insane and I watched a lot of videos before finally landing on these.
Things I like:
1) Google assistant integration (works with smart home devices and can read back notifications)
2) streamline look on case and buds (No stem to snag, snug fit in ear, and no glossy case to easily scratch)
3) All touch controls are functional on each ear and can even be used independently or sharing with another person(each person can have their own volume too!)
Things I don't like:
1) sound quality just ok. (Good for podcast/audiobooks but not enough bass for the kind of music I like and no EQ in app)
2) battery life (I only use 1 at a time usually but doesn't exceed 1 1/2 hrs)
3) Call quality (works best in quiet environments and for sure not while eating anything. The programing in these unmutes the mic when your jaw moves so the other person hears every crunch, munch and slurp. Not ideal)
Looking forward to Googles 3rd iteration of these.
