Customer Ratings & Reviews

First note: the Google Pixel 8 Pro phone refuses to play nicely with many other TWS. Many Samsung and Bose models/varieties became almost unusable, pressuring me into using "Made for Google" compatible gear, like the Pixel Buds Pro. I am still resentful of this, as it seems deliberate... Regardless, all of the feedback below is especially true if you pair with a Pixel phone or related Google device. Overall, they are excellent. They are very small, light, and comfortable buds, and the case is small and well-designed. The fit is surprisingly secure; I use them primarily at the gym while training and in the car. Features and connectivity are excellent. The sound quality is far better than I expected (I'm a pro audiophile reviewer), more than good enough for out and about. Noise cancellation is above average, not the best. The upside is that the ANC is not intrusive or disorienting. Transparency mode is excellent, and call handling and quality are above average. I have minor nitpicks... the white case very quickly picks up scratches and dark marks. With the fit and touch sensitivity near the edges, it's easy to take unwanted actions when inserting and removing the earbuds. More ear tips should be included, and you may have to find better alternatives to ensure you have the best fit and ear tip seal (look to Dekoni Audio for better tips).

These buds are everything I want out of earbuds at this price point. They last a full work day (8-10 hours in my case), the sound quality is excellent, people can hear me clearly on calls, and the transparency mode is more than adequate for my infrequent need of it. The touch controls are responsive and easy to use as well. Finally, they are comfortable in my ears all day. They stay firmly in the ear, without slipping or falling out. I do have a pixel phone, so I can't speak to how they perform without the pixel-specific features.

I thought my Bose quiet comfort buds were the best I ever had but my pixel buds pro paired with my pixel 6 phone & pixelbook laptop are awesome & best ever. Pros: for me are the small size,I can finally wear my NORTHFACE beanie on my head without buds sticking out sides & having cold ears. Noise cancellation is definitely on par with my Bose quiet comfort buds,sound is crisp & base filled definitely loud.Multipoint switching from laptop to phone or phone to bluetooth speaker is what I was missing that my Bose QC's don't have. I get lots of playtime hours & they charge up swiftly. Love the transparency mode it allows me to be observing of my surroundings while out & about while listening enjoying my Amazon unlimited music playlists. Still waiting on my phone to be updated so I can test spatial audio that they do have now &Bose QC's don't have. Lightning fast pairing & no connectivity issues. Cons: If you own a pixel phone you don't have a app to control your buds or to update buds. It's already baked into your pixel phone settings & you need to add this setting on to your screen display which really isn't a con once you add it to your screen giving you instant control. 2.Top of charging case isn't strong & will definitely open if you drop it allowing your buds to come out. So I do advise that you buy a case with a button closure to protect from drops.

Lost my old Pixel Buds A when they fell out of my pocket somewhere on a 20 hour road trip. So in a pinch I purchased these, and I could not be happier. 20 hours and driving 14 of them straight in a noisy rickety car is an adventure but these changed the road trip and made my time behind the wheel more comfortable. During sections of highway where there high winds, rain, and snow I was able to turn on the noise canceling feature to create an experience where I didn't have to fear every noise was a panel falling (car is an econobox). On top of the clarity of the music, the comfort of the ear buds, and the ease of use, there is the ability to use transparency mode, which I do know a lot of other brands have but the experience I had with these surpassed the ones I've tried in the past. Things to also not, wireless charging, speed of charging and longevity, clarity and quality. Would recommend to anyone looking for comfortable earbuds with good quality noise canceling and audio clarity. Final note here, I'm neurodivergent. There are products I use to keep certain senses in check when I become feeling overwhelmed. I use Loops for day to day interactions and work. For music when I'm out an about or at home and don't want to use the speakers I wear these. I wear them everyday for at least 2 hours, I found them to be extremely comfortable and easy to use when I need quiet. I'll recommend these as quality earbuds but also as a nice alternative when you need to dull external stimulation but provide comfort.

Have been waiting for these 1.) Fit & Feel: (Feel more comfortable than previous generations) The unique shape seems to be more ergonomic to ME. The fins are missing but then again I don't think these need them 2.) Connectivity: Rock solid connection! No cut-outs at all, very pleased with this 3.) ANC: Gets the job done! ANC is a tier below the Sony LinkBuds S and better than the any of new Jabra Elite line up (7 Pro, & Active, etc.) ANC is not as good as the Beats Fit Pro but surprisingly close to the AirPods Pro 4.) Sound: This is where I was left wanting more! I went back and forth with these and Pixel Buds A Series, and I feel a little more thump in the bass department with those than these Pixel Buds Pro. Sound is subjective but I feel as if they took the direction of AirPods Pro and wanted to go for a more neutral profile. The Mids are not as present as they are on the AirPods Pro but the overall soundstage blows those out of the water. I really hope they can add the bass boost effect with the slider like they did on the Pixel Buds A, as I feel this would really make these that much better! Overall an above average sound but did expect more 5.) Price: I feel it sits perfect between the $179-$199 mark any more and this would be very hard to justify as there are superior TWS sets on the market. I do recommend, just be aware these are not bass canons, and there is serious competition out there

Comfort: 5/5 I upgraded from the Gen 1 Pixel Buds (the ones with the wingtips) and these are easily much more comfortable to wear for longer times. Despite the lack of wingtips in these, they actually stay in my ear better and don't need to be constantly adjusted, nor give me the "worried they'll fall out" feeling. Sound: 4/5 The sound quality is really good, however a minor nitpick is that I have to bring the volume to about 70% to hear things when watching videos. Battery life: 5/5 I use these during work with moderate use, and I can get away with charging every 2-3 days (instead of every night). Pairing + Swapping 5/5: With the Fast Pair integration (if you're using a Pixel), these will register seamlessly. They also swap seamlessly between my Pixel 7 and my iPad Pro, which is really nice. (Keep in mind this feature is off by default.) And....that's it. These are a really solid pair of earbuds. As of writing this on December 7, there is no Spatial audio, but that has been said to arrive in a January update.

Wow! These are some seriously good headphones! Fit good. Battery life is great. Sound quality is top notch. Connected easy. Lots of nifty features. Pick them up. You won't be disappointed.

I love the ear buds. They are comfortable when it's snug in the ears. The bass is good. Transparency is very good. The call quiality is good too. I just have to move the buds a certain way for the oerson to hear me clearly. The only reason I'm giving it 4 out if 5 is because the buds tend to loosen in my ears after an hour or so, and also I have to manuver the buds a few times to make it stick in my ears and for the caller to hear me clearly.

Dont have a ton of time (at work) so ill make this quick, these are clean, comfortable earbuds with a lot of power in a small package, they blend seamlessly with my pixel phone (important to this review) and have gorgeous sound. The controls are fairly intuitive and unobtrusive, with good functionality but not an overwhelming list of things to remember. The ANC is stellar, works great at the office, the in-ear detection is a rad feature as well but for office spaces since im often taking my ears out to talk. If you have a little cash to spend and want some nice ears, these are a great way to go!

Huge upgrade from my normal pair of earbuds. I love the quick connectivity, the auto silence feature for conversations, and the fit. Speaking of the fit, on occasion I find that they work themselves out slightly, not enough to fall out but enough to break the seal in my ear. I think that when this happens its mostly because I didn't "twist" them in, so more of a user error than a product defect.

The earbuds themselves are great. This is my first noise cancelling ones and the feature is wonderful and easy to use. I never realized the sounds around me until I turned on the feature. So far, the battery life has been good. I've taken one trip since purchasing these and it lasted the entire 4 hour plane ride with still about 30-40% left so I think it last as advertised. I don't use it as frequent but the fully charged case allowed me to recharge and use the earbuds for a whole week while on vacation without needing to recharge the case again. The earbud storage in the case is magnetic which makes it easy to put them away. My only con is on taking them out of the case. I have bigger hands and fingers so it's sometimes hard to remove them from the case. It tends to slip off my hand. My wife has smaller fingers and has no problems. I've also use these a few times for phone calls and multiple voice apps (Line, Teams, Facebook, etc). Sound quality is great on all of them and voice is clear on the receiving end as well. Solid product overall. I think the earbuds themselves are a 5, but the difficulty with the case for me lowered it to a 4.

I have an obsession with wireless earbuds/headphones, it's a problem. I have used every variation of the Pixel Buds along with AirPods, Samsung Buds, and Sony WF-1000XM4. I can wholeheartedly say that these are among the best set of earbuds I have ever used. I've been using the Pixel Buds Pro for a little over a week since their release. During that time I have integrated them into my daily routines. I have had them in my ears for hours at a time, never close to depleting their 8-hour battery, but enough that I have had to recharge their case a couple of times already. Battery life is amazing one of the best. The sound quality is great. The sound is rich and warm with good separation. Not as bright of a sound as you get from some other earbuds. I really enjoyed the sound profile. I would say the only earbuds that I think sound better than the Buds Pro are the Sony WF-1000XM4s, but those are a bit more expensive and have an EQ. Google has said that they will release an EQ in a future update so that might change my opinion. Noise cancellation is also top-notch. To me they were better than the rest, only coming in second to the WF-10000XM4s once again. Just like the sound quality, the difference between these and the Sony's in ANC is small but noticeable. I use the ANC in my home when I needed to focus on my work, and it does a great job of blocking out the noise of my sons running around or my wife running on the treadmill in the same room. The fit is amazing, These are the most comfortable earbuds I have used besting even the AirPod Pros for my ears. Regardless of how long I have them in my ear they never felt uncomfortable. I have gone on a half dozen runs usually lasting around 30-45 minutes and they have stayed in place without as much as a wiggle. I was worried about this since they remove the little fin the Pixel Buds-A had. The software is the last thing that wraps this entire package up. Google Assistant integration. You can have Google read your messages and you can reply with your voice without even looking at your phone. Multipoint and Auto Switch work seamlessly between my phone and computer. I had these paired with Windows laptops, Chromebook, iPhone, and Pixel phones and they always switched over without a hitch. These have very quickly become my favorite earbuds. I would recommend these to anyone including those using Apple devices. Sound quality and ANC are better than anything that Apple is offering. If you have an Android device or Windows laptop these are a no-brainer. I would even recommend these over the Sony offerings due to the Pixle Buds Pro comfort, and Auto-Swith/Multipoint features.

I wear these at work, at home, doing yard work, and everything else! The noise cancelation is great and makes mowing the yard a much more peaceful experience. They not only sound great but the features sell this product. Noise cancelation, audio passthrough, auto-translation, smart device controls, and the build in assistant all work great and I use these features daily. Plus I hardly have to charge the case and have never had the battery run out on me.

Love these ear buds, very comfortable, great sound and LOVE the noise cancelling options to easily switch. Connecting to two devices is awesome! Great battery life too! Perfect partner for my Pixel 7 Pro for dog hikes and working!

I pair these with a Galaxy s23 Ultra. Misplaced my Galaxy Buds+, and needed something quick, as I use earbuds for work all day. Friend (Pixel user) had recommended these as an alternative. Multipoint has been a game-changer. I used to manually switch between work laptop & phone, which became tedious - sometimes I'd even miss calls when trying to switch to the laptop. With Multipoint, the Pixel Buds recognizes both devices & switches for me. The transparency mode & touch controls are really well executed. Not perfect, though - volume is a little low, and fit is not as good as Buds+.

The Google Pixel Buds Pro are the real deal. I have avoided ear buds for the longest time. Mainly because I don't like ear buds since they tend to fall out of my ear constantly. Not these. Now I don't use these to workout, but I do wear them when walking and moving around and they stay in place. The technology these buds pack into such a tiny little package for the price ($150 when I bought them) is quite remarkable. The active noise canceling is phenomenal, the switch between two actively connected devices is also fantastic. I can use them while connected to my phone and laptop and the switch between the two when I get a phone call and log into a WebEx/Zoom on my laptop is seamless. My first experience using these buds were in a crowded and noisy restaurant. I had to respond to a work issue and used the buds to contact different people and also used them to connect through a WebEx session. The sound was clear and the noise isolation was perfect. I could hear the person on the other end and the ambient restaurant noise was almost completely canceled out. Also, the person on the other end of the call could hear me clearly and couldn't hear the background noise. They just worked flawlessly. The touch controls work great, but they take some time to get used to. Google Assistant also works well. Not perfect, but works well. When you have so many Google/Nest devices in your house, the buds don't always respond to the commands, but when away from my home, the assistant works well to control my phone and get updates through the buds. This was a solid purchase and Google knocked this one out of the park.

Bought these as a gift for myself for Christmas, so as of this writing I've only been using them for a week. I will say that you should spend some time fitting them properly and playing with the settings just to be sure you have them to your liking before trekking out into the world, but they've been great so far. Wonderful sound quality, great noise cancellation, and the 'transparency' mode makes it sound as if they're not even in. Definitely recommend!

The battery life is amazing and mic is pretty good. I've had tons of earbuds from high to low end. They are a bit heavy and slip out of my oily ears so I recommend buying some foam ear tips--I like the JLab brand for a budget option. Pairs instantly with my Pixel, MacBook, and PC.

I used Samsung buds they gives me little ear pain discomfort in my ear so I switched to Google buds pro they comfortably sits in my ears not getting any ear pain the noise cancellation was good compared to Samsung buds the sensitivity was good I like this most

I was skeptical purchasing these over the air pod pros but I’m glad I did I can control the volume from the headphones and use noise cancellation with just one bud in ear instead of having both in battery life is great.
