That being said, the audio when playing back Youtube or Nebula videos is pretty good. I wish they fit better though. I have only charged mine a few times because they have pretty good standby time.
Also, the passive audio feature called "transparency" (the opposite of noise cancellation) is really good.
Man, do I wish these things just fit better.

I have these and use them every day. I'd rate them probably 3 stars, maybe 3.5.
Audio quality is great. ANC is great. Google Assistant in your ear is great. No serious fit issues but I do have to occasionally readjust them during a long conversation after a lot of jaw movement.
The case hinge has a little wobble to it, which was not a problem on the 2020 Pixel Buds. It hasn't been problematic, but does raise concerns about its long term durability.
The case also sometimes fails to recognize the buds are back in the case. After putting them in the case, I have to press them down a little bit for them to start charging. Again, not a problem with the 2020 model where the magnets pulled them snugly into place. Both this and the previous issue could just be related to QC, or it could be a design issue. Not sure.
The biggest disappointment with these is the multipoint audio. I work in tech support, so I spend a lot of time calling customers through our VoIP app, so I bought these with hopes to connect them to my phone and workstation simultaneously. I don't know if it's the Buds or if it's a Windows issue, but it is buggy as hell being connected to two devices simultaneously. I ended up unpairing them from my laptop and just dial in through my phone.
If you want the best audio quality, then go with the Sony WF-1000XM4. If you use Google Assistant a lot, then these are definitely the way to go.
For working out, they don't fit well for more intense workouts. Also, wiping my sweat with a sweat rag ALWAYS triggers their touch functions so I've had to disable them. In comparison, Airpod Pros have third-party silicon hooks that I can easily put on for a fit that won't let them drop out during workouts, and their touch functionality is not bothered by my sweat rag at all due to requiring a pinch versus a touch.
For day-to-day, I have found that often times when putting them in my ears, one ear will connect while the other will not without playing with putting them in the case again. This is with a Pixel 7 Pro, which I would expect to have the most reliable connection between the two. Pretty annoying.
Otherwise, they seem to work well for calls, music, and ANC. I do believe the ANC is pretty decent.
