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

Came in an alright amount of time, not fast but didn't take forever either, box had a slight dent on the corner, obviously the shipper didn't cause it, but packaging is soft enough to dent pretty easily from 1/2 drops. Earbuds themselves sound great, 3 differnt Ear tip options, the middle ones seem to be a tiny bit smaller than I'd like, but other than that they fit pretty much perfectly, and ANC is alright, works but nothing special as they are still earbuds, they can also dual connect or whatever and be connected to 2 devices at once (only audio playback from 1 at a time but it's still pretty cool). No problems with battery life, I'd say I do get a bit less than 8 hours if I'm stressing them out (in a call for multiple hours / playing music for 6/7 hours straight). Had a weird problem connecting for a bit, but after an update or something, they now connect flawlessly.

I got these Pixel Buds Pro 2 to go with my new Pixel 10 Pro XL, and they are the perfect match. The "Hazel" color is very sleek and looks great. Sound Quality & ANC: The sound quality is fantastic—clear highs, rich mids, and deep, satisfying bass that isn't overpowering. The Active Noise Cancellation is also top-notch. It does an amazing job of blocking out background noise like gym music or the hum of an air conditioner. The transparency mode sounds very natural when I need to hear my surroundings. Connectivity & Features: This is where these truly shine for a Pixel owner. They paired with my phone the instant I opened the case. The connection is rock-solid, and features like Multipoint audio, which lets them stay connected to my phone and laptop simultaneously, are a game-changer. Having Google Assistant in your ear for reading notifications or sending texts is incredibly useful. Fit & Battery: They are very comfortable to wear for hours at a time, and they come with multiple ear tip sizes to ensure a secure fit. The battery life is also solid, easily getting me through a full day of use with the charging case. If you own a Pixel phone, these are without a doubt the earbuds to get. The seamless integration and smart features make them an essential accessory.

For the last four years I've used the Beats fit pro. They recently broke and I've struggled to find a good replacement. I tried models from Beats, Nothing, and Sony. However, all of them had significant downsides. I finally landed on the Pixel Buds Pro 2 as my replacement and I couldn't be more happy. Pros: Comfort - I can work all day with my earbuds in and never have any fatigue or pain. Transparency Mode - I know many people care more about ANC, but for me I need to be able to hear my surroundings. The transparency mode is fantastic. There is no pressure or white noise. Battery - Lasts my whole work day. Case Size - Far smaller than other brands I've tried. ANC - Does it's job well when I need it. Connectivity. I can have my phone sitting on the main floor and the earbuds stay connected when I run down to the basement. Cons: Honestly, my only con is the color. It feels like Google went to two opposite ends of the spectrum: two boring colors in black/white and two wild colors in neon blue and pink. I would have loved a forest green or navy blue.
