Pixel Buds Pro 2 - Wireless Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation – Bluetooth Headphones - Porcelain

Better sound quality....

the right earbbuds start to have a very very low volume after just 1 month of use Note: i ,most of the time, only use the right earbuds. now i use the left one as the right one as i said become very low and have no idea if the left one will also follow the steps of the right one or last longer (i doubt it) Highly not recommended it

Excelente

UPDATED 6/11/25 I'm now on my 3rd pair of these under warranty. I love the buds sound, functionality, features etc (see original review below). However, they have a fatal design flaw that fails regularly. I believe it always fails, but some may not notice or not as sensitive. There is a mic placed on the body of the bud that is responsible for pressure relief. Unfortunately, it's placement is too close to the ear which means it can get blocked by oil/ear wax. My first pair failed within 3 months. 2nd pair failed within 7 months. I tried everything to keep the vent clean, wipe the buds after each use, use Google's micellar water clean method, but one still failed. You can feel the increase in pressure and the ear tip seal never succeeds when it fails. I'm pretty sure it will fail again but could be out of warranty then I'm out of luck. This is a known issue. It's too bad because I really love everything else about them. I can't recommend though if they have a fatal design flaw. Hopefully Google will fix it. UPDATED 12/2/24 *Down to 4 stars. I had to do an RMA for the issues below. This did fix the issues and Google was quick with the resolution in sending me a new pair. However it isn't perfect. There is a new issue where sometimes the single tap doesn't pause the music nor does taking out the buds. This will resolve with a restart but it happens often. It doesn't seem to happen on another device (Google TV) so I'm not thinking it's the fault of the buds it may even be the fault of my Pixel Android 15 update. It's still on Google however so I will keep the 4 star rating. In looking at all the other earbuds out there, all seem to have their quirks must be the technology. I can live with the single press to play/pause for now* The buds have appeared to develop an issue. It's hard to explain but before, the buds seemed to alleviate pressure when in-ear. Now, that seems not to be happening so they aren't as comfortable. Before, it felt like I didn't have earbuds in. Now it feels like I have earbuds in (plugged, can hear heartbeat sometimes). Transparency and Noise Cancellation still work but the in ear pressure relief seems to not work. I've contacted Google but they are dragging their feet. We will see if they get me a new pair or what the resolution is. I plan to keep this review updated as time goes so users can see how these work long-term wise. Stay-tuned for updates. -------------------------- If you are looking for an exceptional pair of earbuds to pair with your Pixel or Android phone this is it! It has AMAZING sound quality. The fit is exceptional. The earbuds are small and light so there is very little pressure. They also have a fin to help keep them in place. I'm amazed with them. You can tune them to fit your needs (I added a bit more bass). The features and integration with Android are of course a HUGE plus. The menu is laid out perfectly. Also, the battery life is amazingly long even if you use noise cancelling all the time. I came over from being burned by two sets of defective Bose buds and I hope these last a long time. They see much better. Not really any significant cons I see. This is my first foray into noise cancelling and I'm amazed at what it can block. Literally jaw-dropping. You do hear a static floor noise on it and transparency but I think all buds/earphones have that as it's a part of the noise cancelling process. I wouldn't say these are "audiophile" buds as it doesn't support advanced codecs. However it's great for me as I enjoy great sounding music and reliable products. This fits into my lifestyle perfectly and I think if you get them, you won't be disappointed! Quick Summary: PROS: +Sound Quality +Noise Cancelling (top tier!) +Transparency mode +Features (multipoint, auto pause, conversation detection, seal check, hearing wellness etc) +Fit & size +Battery Life +Aesthetics +Pixel/Google integration CONS: -Some slight static in noise cancelling/transparency modes (inherent to all products however) -Some may not enjoy the fit (as with all earbuds 100% won't work for everyone) -Not an audiophile product (does not support high end codecs)

I typically use Airpod PRO with an Android phone. Since I don't get the system integration, I figured I'd try Pixel Buds. Overall, I really like how these work and the system integration. I can tell a difference in sound quality and mic quality when comparing to the Airpod PRO. I don't know if it's hardware or software. Per the mic quality I don't know if it's the lack of having a stem. Overall I'm pleased. Depending on what I'm doing I will either use Airpods or the Pixel Buds Pro 2.

I have these and the Samsung Buds 3 Pro. I gotta say that I use these way more often because they are both more comfortable and have better touch gestures. While the buds 3 pro do seem to have slightly better sound quality they hurt my ears after a while and the stem is just annoying. Overall great earbuds but there's just one issue, they don't want to stay in your damn ears! I've tried every tip included and had to settle for the largest ones which are still too small and tend to want to fall out from my ears. I don't understand how this is such a common problem in earbuds nowadays, every different earbud I try doesn't fit well. All the old school ear buds stayed in your ears and didn't hurt at all... Oh well, these are still the best (new) ones I've tried. I'd give them 5 stars if they fit properly.

Item arrived as scheduled and described. No surprises. Product is decent. Definitely not the best out there but with the price discount and me only uses it for phone calls, it does the job.
