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

I had the Beats earbuds for the last three years after I tried a few others and researched the hell out of the best ones. The beats died after a year (went through 3 in three years) and I decided to get those puppies. I am blown away by the sound, the many options, and the comfort. They stay very secure in the ears. they don't budge even when shaking my head testing to see how firm they are in the ears. nothing. they don't budge. but the sound is better than the beats and even better than the Bose. just phenomenal sound for music and podcasts/ audio books. the options to tap to skip, rewind, pause, answer and hang up calls are awesome and simple. just taps vs clicks. but my favorite is the swipe to change the volume. I haven't seen that in any earbuds, and it is so sweet that I don't have to reach for my phone to change the volume. The only minor bummer is that it has a feature where it detects when you talk to someone and it automatically pauses. that feature doesn't work unfortunately. I think it works only in super quiet environments. when tested it in my home where background sound is silent, it worked. but outside with outdoor noise like cars, etc. it doesn't work. I'm hoping it'll be improved in the next update. There are also head movement gestures, where you nod your head up and down for an action, or left and right for another action. that doesn't work at all for some reason. but those are a bonus if they work, and I can live without them because everything else is beyond amazing! I use them all day and the battery life is great (about 5 hours of continues listening) but it charges really fast when in the case, and the case charges really fast too. plus the case can be charged wirelessly or with a USB C. but even wirelessly it charges very fast. and did I mention that the sound is amazing? its the first time I turned down the bass in earbuds. that's how good the bass is! I appreciate quality and don't mind paying premium for a premium product, and I researched earbuds for hours and days before getting the Beats, and now researched a whole lot before getting the Pixel earbuds. I can say hands down that the Pixel earbuds are by far the best earbuds in the market nowadays. nothing comes close to it. I just hope they stay working like that for a long time. I will update if anything changes. until then, stop looking and get them.

Being a Pixel phone owner, these earbuds are fantastic, though might be less so if you are using an iPhone or standard Android phone, as the Pixel buds are designed to integrate with some extra functionality with the Pixel phone line. That being said, they are still fantastic. Charging is speedy with strong battery life, noise cancelling isn't the best I've encountered but definitely up there, and competes well with other flagship brand earbuds, often discounted making them that much better. Transparency also works great, letting you hear whats going on around you without taking the earbuds out. Controls are easily configurable to set up play/pause, volume up/down, activate ANC/Transparency, etc. I also just have to gush over the case. Construction is very high quality with a strong magnetic clasp. Dropping an earbud into its charging slot gives you a little chirp, with a different pitch for each earbud which is neat and is a nice disability feature for those with poor vision to let you know that the earbud is properly seated, and which one was inserted. Bluetooth syncing is very easy, no need to fiddle with buttons on the earbuds themselves, but instead just hold down the connect button on the case and the earbuds connect to a device without ever needing to take them out of the case. My one nitpick is they dont seem to seat super tightly into the ear. Even using the large size tips they dont seem to seat as tightly as I would like, though apparently there are several third party tips that can solve that problem. However they certainly aren't about to fall out, even with vigorous activity, and might be something that just takes getting accustomed to. Overall, 4.5/5

I've been putting off buying new ear buds for a while, but my old Bose QuietControl 30 earbuds (bought in 2019 and until recently, worn every day since then) are showing their age and a lot of wear. After much deliberation I pulled the trigger on a set of Pixel Buds Pro 2, since I already own a Pixel 7 Pro, and I am NOT disappointed. Not only is the sound quality on par with (and in some cases like handling heavy bass, better) the Bose earbuds, the fit and comfort is better, and the lack of a neck yoke is amazing. On sound quality, at the default EQ setting the Pixel Buds produce clear, balanced audio with crisp highs, balanced midrange and punchy but not overwhelming bass. On the "Heavy Bass" EQ setting, they produce even punchier bass, without sacrificing the highs and mids (Unlike the QC30 which just lowered the volume of everything else on a hard bass hit to avoid distortion) The Pixel Buds also don't seem to show any signs of distortion even at uncomfortably high volumes. Call sound quality is also REALLY good. I can hear the other party clearly, and the ANC keeps outside noises out of both my ears and the outgoing call audio, which is also clear and easy to understand for the other party. The gestural controls on the buds were super easy to get used to (as opposed to the physical buttons on the QC30) and the automatic conversation mode seems to work pretty well, automatically pausing the music and turning on Transparency Mode when I start talking. They were super easy to pair with my Windows Desktop as well, and most all of the gestural controls are supported by Windows, though I wish they supported multipoint pairing so that I could use them with both my phone and computer simultaneously. The case for them is my only other gripe. Its rounded shape and silky smooth finish make it kind of hard to keep ahold of for me, and I'm sure I'm going to lose it or one of the earbuds at some point. Hopefully the Find My Device network holds up enough for me to recover them if that happens. All in all, I think that the price is a little high, but they are overall worth it. We'll see how the ANC and listening time holds up for them. And overall durability, though I won't be using them as much as I did the QC30, which I was wearing every day at work for 8-10 hours per day as I used to work in an industrial manufacturing facility and there was a large compressor and tools running all the time.

I am not complaining about the product, but the seller, I bought this product and one earpiece is damaged and getting heated while I tried to pair it. And pairing Also didn't happen.

Better sound quality....

Se escucha robotico el audio. Al mometo de correr se escucha mucho el golpeteo con los audifonos y la piel. No considero que valga la pena el cambio de la primera versión.

Device is used, scuffed and with earwax in the buds and box with a previous owner registered as well Buds has been repackaged and sold as new.

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
