Google Pixel Buds A-Series vs Truthear Hexa

Verdict

Take the Google Pixel Buds A-Series unless you need repairability.

The Truthear Hexa scores highest at 7.6, but it costs 20,90 € more than the Google Pixel Buds A-Series, which scores 6.6. That premium buys you repairability — 4.6 points of it. Worth it if studio-neutral listening on a budget describes you; otherwise it is money you keep. Watch out for no ANC at all on the Google Pixel Buds A-Series.
