It’s nice to have this Pixel Buds “economy” version when shopping, and I wanted to try this 2a model out. Don’t mind not having wireless charging, as everything else I have is wired charging so no problem adding one more – I’m used to it. Interesting that there is no volume control on the touch pad, which I would really expect from buds at any price point. Other than that, to sound quality is very nice, and the ANC is quite effective – as good or better than any others I have tried in the same price range. Good connections to multiple devices, and I can switch from phone to laptop back to phone with no problems. The buds seem to sync with whatever device I am using – even switching back and forth with volume control. Battery life is good, and combined with the “low profile” and “twist in” to tighten the fit, these work nicely for overnight use and stay in the ears even with side-sleeping on the pillow. Added a separate high-impact case and with that I expect to be using these buds for a long time. Greetings from Central Georgia!

These earbuds are less expensive than the pro model and they sound like they are. I wore them through a long workout, and they performed fine as far as resisting sweat, but I was plagued by inadvertent touches which would stop my music whenever I would wipe sweat from around my ears. They also suffered from the tendency for the fit to loosen as I moved around. When I could get a hand free to reseat them in my ears, such as when I was on the elliptical, they performed fine, but there was serious degradation in sound quality by the time I was finished with my rowing workout. These are also the only buds I recently tried that required me to use the larger tips to get a good fit. Usually, the medium tips work right out of the box, but I had to swap the larger tips onto these buds to get them to fit decently. Even then, they would tend to loosen up over time. That whole "twist to fit" feature only works if you can keep twisting them as they work their way loose over time. Bass response was decent, but not overly impressive as long as you kept adjusting them, but the sound was kind of tinny after they loosened up, and the noise-cancelling performance degraded as well. Compared to other buds in this price range, they're fine, but there are much better performing buds if you're willing to pay a little more.

Best headphones, especially if you have pixel devices, noise cancelling works great, no complaints
