Pros:
Great sound quality and bass especially with EQ setting on
Durable/tough (dropped them in puddles, sweated on them constantly, stepped on them, etc.) and they just kept chugging along
Comfortable in ears
Cons:
Battery life is like 2 hours with EQ setting on
After many months of heavy use: sound quality was down, battery life eroded, and started losing connection to phone more and more frequently, and one ear was louder than the other/sound imbalance
I've had them for about 1.5 years as well but mine are still going strong. No issues with battery life - I'm not sure I've ever actually drained the buds. I typically use them for 3-4 hours at a time, stick them in the case, and they're ready to go the next time I need them. The case itself gets charged about every 1 or 2 weeks, and my phone gives me plenty of warning before the battery dies.
Connection has been strong. I had the 2nd gen Pixel Buds (not A-Series) and they had terrible connection. Putting my phone in my back pocket or bending over the wrong way would cause the audio to drop out. I don't remember ever getting any drops with these, and I have no issue leaving my phone in one room and listening to music with the buds in another.
These are also much louder than 2nd gen Buds. I always had to keep those at max volume just to get reasonable sound levels - not an issue here. Just make sure to stay on top of keeping them clean, because wax can build up and will muffle the audio down to near nothing.
I have fairly sensitive ears - normally in ear buds like these give me headaches so I prefer the Airpod style that doesn't go in your ear canal, but these are comfortable enough that it doesn't bother me.
My biggest negative is that they don't have any touch/gesture volume controls, but that's not a deal breaker for me. Obviously this is all subjective, but this is an excellent price and I feel like most people are going to have a tough time beating this bang for buck!

I was surprised by the sound quality for the price. It's not the best but for the price you pay, its pretty good. Especially the amount of bass you get.
The fit is great even when working out. The only thing I wish they had was active noise cancellation but battery would probably suffer in that case and i think the battery life is as short already as I'd be willing to manage. It does have a feature that will raise the volume if it hears the ambient noise level go up.
The touch area is sensitive to almost the whole face of the ear bud where the google logo is so sometimes when I adjust the ear piece I will accidentally activate the touch and pause the media.
Occasionally, I'll have connection issues like the volume is too low or no sound coming through but it gets fixed by putting the buds back in the case to reset the connection. It's such an easy fix and it doesn't happen often enough for me to even be bothered with it.

this is a good price and i would normally buy another pair but I just ordered these Anker Space A40 buds for $55 that are very well reviewed. I haven't received them yet, so I can't compare
