I would have to agree... The Bose Soundsport Free sounds great on the Pixel 2 XL... I was getting some cracking noise on my retired V10... I would assume from the Bluetooth radio on the V10... No problems on the Pixel 2 XL!You can’t do better than the Bose Soundsport Free. They are pricey, but the sound quality is second to none for completely wireless earbuds. I have had both versions of the Bragi Dash, and the original Samsung Icon X, and they can’t compare. However, if you have to stay around $100, the Bragi Dash are on clearance for $119 from Best Buy.
I'm using the Apple Airpods with my Pixel 2! you can even download apps on Android to tell you the battery level on them.
I second the Airpods, comfortable, good sound, stay in normal shaped ears. 24 hours of charge with the case.
Not sure what google was thinking with their wired buds.
Don't know where you've heard that. The Android sites alone have been universally unimpressed with the Pixel Buds, especially in terms of sounds quality.
