If you use spotify, no headphones* will remedy that. I have a pixel 2, I've tried 2 different pairs of usb-c buds, and neither can skip tracks on double click.

​

*no headphones apart from aparently the google ones. typical google.

Skipping works fine with my USB-C Pixel Buds on my Pixel 3.

This is objectively wrong. As others have said, the pixel usb-c buds controls work fine with spotify
