Best Google Assistant headphones: Smart sounds from Bose, Sony, and more
[Google][2] allows many third-party headphones to use Google Assistant.
With this integration, you can access Google's AI assistant without touching your iPhone or Android phone. But you will need to touch a button on the side of your [headphones][3] before you can speak directly to Google Assistant. Using voice commands, you can cue music, create calendar events, make calls, and receive audible notifications. Google Assistant will even let you listen to and reply to incoming messages from SMS and chat apps.
Originally, the only stand-out headphones optimised for Google Assistant were the [Bose QuietComfort 35 II][4] and Google's own [Pixel Buds][5]. But Google Assistant has slowly made its way to more headphones and earbuds, including units from brands like Harman/JBL, Sony, and others.

## Best Google Assistant on/around-ear headphones

### Bose QuietComfort 35 II
squirrel_widget_143709
Bose's QuietComfort 35 II wireless over-ear noise-cancelling headphones come with built-in Google Assistant. They were the first headphones with Google's voice-controlled Assistant accessible at the touch of a button. This Action Button can be found on the left ear cup. You need to press and hold it to active Assistant. Then, you can carry out all the same commands as you would on a Google Home.

For those wondering what Bose was going to do next to step up a gear in the headphones world, the Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 is the perfect answer. These over-ear headphones bring a much higher degree of build quality, comfort, and ANC adjustment compared to the QC35. These new cans also come with the addition of voice assistants, including Google Assistant, naturally.

### Sony WH-1000XM3

Sony's WH-1000X M3 cans are for those of you who value noise-cancelling technology. We have no hesitation in recommending these headphones as among the very best money can buy. They're perfect for when mowing lawns or traveling on noisy trains or planes. To enable Assistant, however, you'll have to change the function of the noise-cancellation button so that it triggers Assistant instead.

### JBL Live 650BTNC

The JBL Live 650BTNC over-ears are another premium choice if your primary concern with headphones is having active noise cancelling and being able to listen to quality audio. It delivers JBL Signature Sound through 40mm drivers, while also on top of that, offering up Google Assistant. Again, like many of the other headphones we've mentioned, it's as simple as a tap on the headphones' ear cup.

So, if you're feeling particularly loaded and are looking for long-lasting, comfortable-to-wear, and good-looking over-ear headphones, then few can reach the same level of mastery as the BeoPlay H9. These will be our go-to cans for a long time coming. They are top of the line, thanks to advance active noise cancellation, 25 hour battery life, and touch-activated Google Assistant control.

## Google Assistant in-ear headphones

### JBL Everest 110GA

**• [View offer at Amazon][22]**
* * *
The [JBL Everest 110GA][23] in-ear wireless headphones offer JBL's "legendary Pro Audio Sound" experience with powerful bass depth. These make a great choice if you mostly just want big bass balanced out by solid high-mid and high-frequency clarity. You'll get a whopping 25 hours of battery life, too, as well as built-in Google Assistant. To access Google Assistant, just touch the sensors on the earbud.

### Sony WF-SP700N

**• [View offer at Amazon][25]**
* * *
The Sony WF-SP700N are wireless, noise-cancelling, splash-proof in-ear headphones. That means you can wear them in a loud city environment and still get crisp sound or safely use them for an extra sweaty workout. Google Assistant is quickly activated by a little button on the headset.

### Sony WI-1000X

Sony's earphone game is getting stronger by the year, with these wireless neckband earphones being testimony to that improvement. The WI-1000X are, without a doubt, among the best in-ears with adaptive noise-cancelling. And, with the addition of Google Assistant built right into them, they've even more desirable. Are only gripe is it has micro-USB rather than USB-C recharging.

### Google Pixel Buds

When we reviewed the $159 Pixel Buds, we weren't really impressed with the design of the earbuds themselves and the cradle. However, we really liked the Google Assistant implementation and integration. If you're a Google ecosystem diehard, you might wanna start here.

Now, if you're looking for headphones with a Google Assistant activation button for the cheapest possible price, then look no further than the headphones that Google released alongside the Pixel 3. They're not flashy and need to be plugged into your phone, but cost just $30.
