I didn’t think I’d care much to have Google built-in to a set of headphones, but it works really well. You’ll first need to install and sign-in to the Google Assistant app on Android or iPhone, which takes a few seconds to do. After you’ve done that, a quick tap of the button pulls up Google for all sorts of tasks. You can ask the assistant to remind you of something, play specific music, start a movie on your phone and more.

The function is brilliant and, while I haven’t flown with them just yet, I can imagine it’s much easier than fumbling with an iPad in a cramped airline seat. There are other uses, too.

You can ask Google to play the news and hear highlights, set a timer, find nearby restaurants if you’re walking around town, ask for a breakdown of your day and more. Google worked really well during my tests, accurately understanding what I was asking.

Adding Google Assistant to a pair of good Bose noise-cancelling headphones made them even better
