#SGGQA 309 - PJ Pod - XREAL BEAM, Beyerdynamic's BT Neckband Earbuds, Traveling with the Pixel Fold and Tablet

2 hours 29 minutes

Video Replay on Twitch!

Happy Monday! Last Monday of the month! It's a Pajama Podcast show!

We're back from a road trip, and being on the road is the perfect time to really test a BUNCH of gadgets! I've got some thoughts on the Pixel Tablet and Pixel Fold. I've been putting the XREAL BEAM through its paces.

AND! Beyerdynamic has a NEW BT NECKBAND!

Let's get our tech week started right!

A portion of this coverage was made possible thanks to the #TeamPixel folks and a #GiftFromGoogle. They provided the Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet for me to review and share my earnest thoughts. There has been no influence or communication from Google or their PR in altering my editorial process.
