After my horrible Pixel Buds 2, I am done with Google hardware.

What's wrong with them?
My experience:

A LOUD, constant hissing and crackling noise when nothing's playing (also audible during podcasts or quiet music). Like 3x worse than my $40 truly wireless buds.

They are buggy. They would sometimes disconnect with no way to reconnect, requiring a factory reset (which you need the case to do).

It's too bad, in a lot of way's they're better than the AirPods. I prefer the "open audio" design to the transparency mode even, and they're more comfortable and secure in the ears.

unusable outdoor.
were they that bad? I was looking at them, but the price was just too high for me.
