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

Right away I noticed the sound signature is definitely different than the original pros. TBH I'm not a fan initially but hey maybe it's Google shooting for a more neutral sound curve which is throwing my perception off. With eq tweaks it sounds pretty good. Definitely not bass heavy by default like it's predecessor. Bass can be cranked up if desired but be aware it gets a little boomy and muddy. Transparency nailed! Noise canceling nailed! Fit is way better and doesn't feel like you don't know which way to seat it in your cartilage. Just twist until the wing rests on your cartilage. Overall I'm impressed with the improvements and it's nice the case design didn't change enough that my Spigen armor case fits perfectly! I highly recommend playing around with different tip sizes and styles as even the large tips didn't seal well for me. This will drastically improve bass and noise canceling. I Had some old wired powerbeats tips laying around and they fit and allow the lid to close with just the right clearance.

I loved my original Pixel Buds Pro, except for one thing - the fit. They would not stay in my ears. After trying a bunch of different tips, none of which worked, I eventually moved from those to Bose Quiet Comfort earbuds, which were good, but missing some features that I enjoyed in the PBPs. Well, thankfully, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 have significantly fixed the fit issue. They twist and lock in and have not fallen out on me yet. They are so not quite as snug as the Bose ones, but still good. I probably need to refine which tips I'm using. Features-wise, I'm not an audiophile, but they sound great, touch controls are intuitive, the options to program the different features work well. The noise cancelling is really good and the voice detection to switch to ambient mode is a nice feature. Overall, I'm really happy with the PBP2s and if you, like me, had fit issues with the first iteration, I'd recommend giving these a try.

I bought the original Pixel Buds Pro but had to return them after a few days because they would never stay in my ears after a few minutes. I was really glad when they announced the PBP2 would have stabilizer 'wings', and after using them for a few days I can confirm they absolutely keep the buds in your ears securely. The buds are so small that sometimes I wonder if I'm wearing them correctly, but the Pixel buds app/settings has seal check test that will confirm if they are forming a proper seal. Transparent mode is the best I've used on any earbud or headphone. It feels like you're not wearing them temporarily. ANC is very good. Sound quality is great, especially for podcasts. Highly recommended.
