When it comes to the tech world, there’s no doubt about the fact that some of the biggest head honchos in this business are constantly battling it out to create brand new products that rival each other. Yes, Apple brought out their AirPods — and Google has now followed suit with their own wireless earbuds, aptly called the Pixel Buds. Yet, are Pixel Buds really as good as other wireless earbuds on the market? We’ve got the pros and cons.

The Pros of Pixel Buds

Of course, one of the biggest pros of the new Google Pixel Buds is the fact that it’s a great new addition to the Google family. Just as there are many people out there who pledge their allegiance to Apple, there are others who are loyal to Google — and they love nothing more than welcoming a new addition to the team. That doesn’t mean that you can’t use this Google creation with other Android or iOS phones, though. Alongside this, it could be argued that the Pixel Buds are much more inconspicuous and comfortable than other wireless earbuds.

The Cons of Pixel Buds

While the sound quality of the Pixel Buds is pretty good, it’s not too great for those who are looking for noise-canceling wireless earbuds. Although this product does offer a small amount of passive noise reduction when you place them in your ears, they won’t drown out the outside world completely — which may affect whether you buy them or not. The assistant support on these buds has also caused a few issues during the initial wave of sales. While having Google Assistant Support within your headphones is pretty awesome, the translation feature lacks a certain je ne sais quoi.

All in all, there are pros and cons to the Pixel Buds, just like anything else. At the end of the day, it’s down to you to work out whether you believe the pros outweigh the cons or vice-versa.

Humans are not only the superior race in the world. The animal kingdom often beat the humans with their fabulous features. Speed is one of those striking components, which makes an animal frighteningly awesome! Here are the world’s fastest animals, who dominate land, water, and sky with their eye-blinking speeds and lightning-fast strides.

Fastest Animals on Land

• Cheetah

If there is an animal Olympics, cheetahs would dominate the sprinter races with their 60-70 mph or 96-112 km/h running speed. A cheetah named Sarah from the Cincinnati Zoo has the record of running the 100-meter sprint in just 5.95 seconds. Now, that is fast! The long slender body and powerful legs of a cheetah contribute to its lightning-speed stride.

• Ostrich

Though members of the bird family, ostriches roam on the ground. Being the largest birds on the earth, and the fastest birds on the ground, they can grow up to 9 feet or 2.7 meters and can cover 10-16 feet or 3-5 meters in a single stride, with a speed up to 43 mph or 70 km/h. These giant birds use their long powerful legs to gain quickness.

Fastest Creatures Under Water

• Sailfish

With a reported top speed of more than 68 mph or 110 km/h, sailfishes are considered the fastest fish in the ocean. But biologist Paolo Domenici doubts these figures and hence measures the speed of sailfish with his colleagues, to calculate the tail-beat frequencies, which is the fish equivalent of stride length. According to them, the speed of a sailfish is actually around 18-22 mph or 29-36 km/h.

• Dall’s Porpoise

According to Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC), Dall’s porpoise can speed through the water at up to 34 mph or 54 km/h. Biologist Paolo Domenici observes that Dall’s porpoises ride the bow waves, the wave created at a front of a sailing boat, to swim faster than normal. They have longer bodies and elongated mouths as contributing factors to their speed.

Fastest Animals in the Sky

• Golden Eagle

Golden eagles are North America’s largest birds, with wingspans reaching more than 7 feet across. They reach their top speed during aerial dives. When diving from great heights, these birds can zoom through the air at almost 200 mph or 322km/h speed.

• Peregrine Falcon

These are other predatory birds, which are the fastest animal in the world. When diving through the air, peregrine falcons can reach speeds of up to 220 mph or 354 km/h. Apart from this hunting speed, their regular cruising speed ranges between 40 and 60 mph or 64 and 97 km/h. A pair of pointed streamlined wings, drag-reducing stiff feathers, and a modified breastbone attached with powerful muscle help these special falcons to adapt that eye-blinking speed.
