With Google Pixel Buds, you can easily make and manage phone calls while on the go. If you have Pixel 7 or newer, Turn on Clear Calling to enhance the other caller's voice. On Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro, this will be turned on by default, and Bluetooth Superwideband will make both sides of the call sound more natural.
