Is there a reason they announced this a few hours before earnings?

They look good, but I don't see it on par with the AirPods that have noise cancellation, sweat and water resistance. And given Google's inability to support their hardware products past a few years, doubt these would take off (but I hope they do).

It's a lot cheaper than Airpods Pro, and has a few tricks up its sleeve like Assistant/Real-time translation.

But more expensive than Airpods, which are the product it's more similar to, unless you really want the assistant stuff.
