Must for Pixel phones. The pairing is instant, when taken out the case. Playing and pausing of youtube or music is instantaneous when taking the buds out of your ears while playing unlike other third party buds. They are comfy and sound really good for all genres of music. When compared to Pixel buds pro 2, which i also have i'd say your only missing wireless charging. I'm not sold on transparency features, it's still distracting. Also the pro 2 buds are annoyingly put straight in unlike the A 2s which have a slight angle and the lid doesnt close if you put the wrong buds on the wrong sides, small details like this i really like. Music id get someone else's opinion on. They both sound good out of the box and have some eq settings, maybe the pro 2s have more to mess around with but they're both jamming all genres of music imo.

Great sounding earbuds and great noise cancelling to match. Touch controls lack volume gestures, you will need to go to the pro model for that.

I have a Google pixel 9 pro XL so I wanted to see if the earbuds would be just as wonderful and they absolutely are. The sound quality is great. I haven't figured out how to answer calls and end calls with it yet. But I will and once I find the right ear tip to go with each ear they will be perfect. I haven't had much time to really play with them, but so far they're worth the money.
