Google held a launch event in San Francisco on October 4 to launch a couple of new devices alongside the new Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. The new set of devices include Google Home Mini, Home Max, Pixebook, Pixel Buds and the Google Clips. All of these new devices have widened the Google's portfolio of smart devices. Apart from the new devices Google also introduced the new improvements to the Google Assistant.

Google Home Mini

Google Home Mini 1

Google Home is a popular smart home device made by Google which functions with the help of the Google Assistant. Now, the company has introduced a smaller and more affordable variant of the smart home device. Just like the Google Home, this one can control the smart devices in a house, answer any questions and play music via different services. The Home Mini will retail for a price of $49 which roughly converts to Rs. 3,200.

Google Home Max

Google Home Max

As Google unveiled the Home Mini as a more affordable and smaller variant of the Home, the Home Max fills the room of a higher variant. The Google Home Max has two speakers as well as two tweeters inside making it much bigger than the Home Mini. The device can be kept in an upright position or can just lay down according to the user's preference.

Google Home Max Price

The major motive of the Home Max is to deliver great sound from music which can be easily played via services like Google Play, YouTube, Pandora, Spotify and much more. The interesting part about the Google Assistant integration is that the speakers can recognise the lyrics and find the music to start playing it. The smart home device will be sold for $399 (roughly Rs. 26,000).

Google Pixelbook

The Pixelbook is an updated Chromebook from Google which carries a better design and hardware specifications. The Pixelbook is made out of aluminium and shares the design language of the Pixel smartphone series. The laptop runs on Google's homegrown ChromeOS out of the box. It is available in different variants depending on the processor, RAM and Storage configuration the user picks up. It is the first Chromebook to come with Google Assistant.

Pixelbook

The Pixelbook is powered by the 7th Gen Intel Core i5 or i7 processor. The laptop is available in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB storage variant where the storage is a Solid State Drive making the processes on the device much faster. RAM configuration can be picked up between 8GB or 16GB. The Pixelbook sports a 12.3-inch Quad HD display with a resolution of 2400x1600 pixels.

Pixelbook pen

Google has also introduced the Pixelbook Pen which can be used with the Pixelbook in order to make drawings or writing.

Google Pixel Buds

Pixel Buds

Google has launched the Pixel Buds in order to take down the Apple AirPods. The Pixel Buds are not totally wireless unlike the Apple AirPods as the Pixel Buds have a wire connecting both the earbuds together. The new Pixel Buds come with 'Live Translation' feature which uses Google Translate to translate around 40 languages. Google Pixel Buds are compatible with any smartphone running Android 5 Lollipop or higher, any iOS device running iOS 10 or higher. The Google Pixel Buds will retail for $159 which roughly converts to Rs. 10,350.

1More Piston Classic Review: When the budget is tight and you need the best sound

By

1More is a relatively new brand in the audio industry as compared to the other brands. They recently launched their 1More Piston Classic In-Ear earphones in India, which we had with us for some time to review. These earphones come with a price tag of Rs. 1,999, however, they usually sell at Amazon India for Rs. 1,499, which we think is a decent price for these and we will be telling you why below.

1More Piston Classic: Design

The 1More Piston Classic headphones come beautifully packaged in a plastic box, similar to something that you might expect from a company like Apple. The box contains the earbuds themselves wrapped around a silicone case, three pairs of replaceable silicone tips for small, medium and large ear sizes. The box also includes a tie clip to hold the headphones in place.

1More Piston Classic 3

The earpieces, inline control bar, and the 3.5mm jack connector are made up of aluminium and feel solid. During the process of our review, the earbuds accidentally got dragged around on the road and came out with very little damage which shows that these are extremely durable.

Also Read: Amazon Great India Festival Sale starts today, Here’s what it has to offer

The cable from the connector to the in-line control is sheathed and the wire going to the buds is rubberised, all of these makes the unit feel extremely premium. The unit is light and is comfortable to use for long hours. However, we do feel that the company could have given a flat cable on these as these kinds of cables end up tangled in your pockets.

The inline remote features extremely good button placement as it comes with a single button to pick up or end calls or simply play/pause music and on the other side are the volume buttons, it also features a microphone.

1More Piston Classic: Performance

As far as the performance goes, we extremely love the 1More Piston Classic earphones. These definitely makes it into our Top 5 earphone recommendations of 2017 list. The device has a frequency range of 20Hz-20,000Hz and has the sensitivity of 98dB at 5mW and rated impedance of 32 Ohms.

1More Piston Classic 1

We were able to test out the earphones on laptops, Android smartphones, and Apple smartphones to test out how these perform on different platforms, we ran FLAC, mp3, and M4A sound profiles on these amongst others. To say that these didn't perform well on all the devices would be a lie. These earphones were able to deliver the highs, mids, and lows perfectly, and for the Indian consumers yes the bass was to the point.

1More Piston Classic: Comfort

As far as the comfort goes the Piston Classic is one of the pair earphones that you can put and forget. They are extremely comfortable and after some time is unnoticeable. However, we did knock off 10 points of the rating as the headphones tend to slip out of your ears on many occasions. Otherwise, the Piston Classic is extremely comfortable and should cause you any problems while using them.

1More Piston Classic 2

1More Piston Classic: Verdict

1More Piston Classic 4

The Piston Classic in-ear earphones are what you would call a pair of all-rounder earphones. These are amongst the best in class earphones and should be up against the big players, however, the company has priced them at Rs. 1,499 which as per us is an extremely reasonable price being asked for the device. They have a lot of clarity in the sound which would make an audiophile smile. We recommend that if you are looking for a good pair of earphones, these might be your best bet.
