[New Release] Spirit Pro GVA | Soundcore’s First Earbuds with Google Assistant!

#15

this may be a repeat of connectivity issues we saw with Bolt… the user in review did not mention his phone type - iOS or Android…

clearly more testing was required before being released into market :frowning:

Do you guys really use the google assistant while using the headphones?

#17

I’ve never found phone assistants to work well through earbuds. Siri, bixby, or google assistant. I think if it was built in it would work much better.

hmmm very interesting

#19

Thanks for sharing. I’m guessing this is aimed towards the people who want an assistant on their earbuds and don’t bother to check the specs of the item

#20

Android phones have the assistant listening all the time… is this headset really required for Google Assistant? I doubt it :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Also, visually looks exactly like Spirit and features such as BT 5.0 is not available as in Spirit…

#23

Whenever I use assistants through earbuds, I always experience a huge delay. For bixby, siri and google assistant…

#24

Just used it now to change what I’m listening too on Spotify, sure there’s the initial delay of it waiting for me to say what I want but it cha God stations right away without issue. So I say the delay you experience is user error :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

#25

I completely disagree. When I’ve done it before there is about a 1-2 second delay, and then the noise plays for the assistant. Right now I only have Siri so I can’t try it with the others, but I’ve done it in the past.

#26

Agree, disagree that’s what an opinion is for we all have one. But you said you used it in the past, past past past not now, not this moment. so what you experience may be from past experience and I just explained my experience so you do you and think what you want and I will do the same as we both agree to disagree on using Google assistant via headphones

A little late here lol but I had a set of these as part of the beta test, they had a manufacturing defect which meant the solder on one of the earbuds was completely sheared off inside (I appreciate as a beta sample these things can occur).

I did reach out but the response was I’d get a set when they went on general release but nothing ever came of it.

When they did work I found the sound was great, but certainly nothing better than my older, but super good Anker Soundbuds Slim+.

Also, the Google Assistant is a bit hit and miss in my experience - very intermittent. Again, this may be due to the fact they are a beta sample. If they’d not have been faulty it would have been great to get to know them more - I did reach out to the help team via email but never got a reply.

Promising but that defect kind of tainted my opinion somewhat.

Great review btw @David_P :+1:

I would reach out to marketing again via the email that said you would receive an updated product once its released and ask wh yuh they were never sent to you. I had similar issue with a beta sample in the past and had to remind them to send me the released version as they had promised they would.

Yeah good idea, I can’t recall the email address now though as I’ve deleted a lot of emails.

I’m sure I can find it somewhere, I’ll update once I know more!:+1:
