very disappointed to hear that the great hardware would be paired with Chrome OS. One feature I wished I had on Windows + Android
was the ability to unlock the Pixelbook with an Android Phone. With this app, you can do just that. You'll need the

<h2>Wireless Earbuds: Samsung Galaxy Buds</h2>
<p>
I found these on sale at Costco and heard that the audio quality was among the best for the price. I love that they also have
audio passthrough so you can hear your environment when necessary, or keep noise cancelling on. They fit nice in my ears
and don't fall out. My only grip is that the mic isn't that great for taking phone calls. Integrates well with my Galaxy
Watch and Galaxy S10+.

<h2>Wireless Headphones: Sony WH-1000XM3</h2>

I actually purchased the WH-1000XM2's, but the XM3's are an improvement in every way and well worth the price. Sound quality
is amazing, noise cancelling is excellent, and it has audio passthrough in case you need to hear your environment.
If you need wireless bluetooth headphones, this is it. You can get these headphones for around $290 on
