Google's latest earbuds are astonishingly small and light, yet offer better ANC and sound quality than the first-gen Pixel Buds Pro.
Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 MSRP $229.00 Score Details “With a smaller shape, improved ANC, and much better sound quality, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are a big upgrade.” Pros Cons Google ’s Pixel Buds Pro 2 earbuds are smaller, lighter, and have better battery life than their predecessors. They’re also powered by a new brain: the Tensor A1 chip. While those are praiseworthy improvements, the second-gen Pros are also $29 more expensive, narrowing the price gap that made the first-gen Pros so attractive.
What you don’t get are different sizes of stability wings. Like the Pixel Buds 2 and A-Series, the small, crescent-shaped silicone protrusion is built into the buds and isn’t replaceable. You still get wear sensors, which do an admirable job of pausing/resuming audio when you remove or reinsert an earbud.
Everything from the droning noise of air conditioners and vacuums to the unpredictable racket of traffic and construction was pleasantly reduced to a level that either disappeared entirely or was mild enough not to bother me. But here’s a tip: The fit test in the Pixel Buds app may indicate that you have a good seal, but it shouldn’t be taken as gospel. Using the medium tips, ANC was noticeably better.
Transparency mode itself feels unchanged to me — which is to say it works really well. You can hear the outside world with excellent clarity and your voice will sound clear. However, as with the first-gen Buds, the Buds Pro 2 fall just shy of delivering the AirPods Pro’s magical feeling of not wearing earbuds at all.
On a related note, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 also lack support for Bluetooth LE Audio, which means you can’t use them with Auracast. For now, that’s unlikely to matter. But as more public places begin to offer Auracast broadcasts , Google’s lack of future-proofing may feel shortsighted Making calls on the Pixel Buds Pro 2 will be good for you and your callers. Shifting to transparency mode lets you hear your voice naturally, thus reducing fatigue. The environmental noise-canceling algorithms do an excellent job of keeping background sounds at bay, though at times, they can be a tad too aggressive and end up scrambling your voice when your environment is especially loud.
