Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great audio quality. Amazing bass. They pair great with my pixel 9 pro XL. The noise, cancellation mode and transparency modes are both really great. Definitely the way to go if you were in the pixel ecosystem.

The Google Pixel Buds 2 offer seamless pairing and a comfortable fit for everyday listening. Sound quality for music and calls indoors is generally good. However, using them for Bluetooth audio recording outdoors is a letdown. My voice consistently comes out muffled and can get drowned out by background noise. It seems the noise cancellation struggles to differentiate between ambient sounds and my voice in outdoor settings during recording. Verdict: Solid for listening, but if you need clear audio recording, especially outdoors, the Pixel Buds 2 aren't the best choice due to the muffled voice issue in those environments.

The pixel ear buds 2 are a wonderful ear buds great sound and a terrific app i just wish it the case was black but other than that great product

Great lightweight feel. ANC works great on the plane, and I love being able to adjust the volume and skip tracks right from the earbud. The only thing I'd change is the charging case – it feels a little bulky in my pocket.

They are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time with great battery life.and the hey Google feature is what's matters to me most. As most other Android headsets don't work as well as these so with that feature.

Once the software was updated these have been awesome comfortable earbuds

This are great if you have a Google pixel phone. No app download. Easy to use and pairing processes is fast and easy.

Great audio quality and much longer battery than previous gen. Definitely recommend to android and non android users.

great earbuds, work perfectly with Google ecosystem :)

Amazing quality and the noise canceling is moloch better than the first generation

📦 UNBOXING: The Pixel Buds 2 Pro come in a small box with recyclable packaging. Inside you’ll find the charging case and buds with Medium ear tips pre-installed, and another set of Large, Small and Extra Small ear tips. Other than that, you’ll receive a quick start guide and safety information. No charging cable is included, which is the same as the original Pixel Buds Pro. 💪 BUILD: The case is largely unchanged from the previous Pixel Buds Pro launched 2 years ago. It’s made of a soft-touch smooth plastic. It’s slippery, so I’d advise some caution, but unlike other earbuds with glossy cases, these won’t exhibit hundreds of micro scratches over time. The buds themselves are easier to remove from the case compared to the original design. And while they’re still quite smooth, they don’t feel nearly as slippery. I had accidentally dropped my original Pixel Buds Pro earbuds multiple times due to how slippery they were. Now, the Pixel Buds app has a toggle under the Notifications to remind you to clean the buds from time to time, which I think is a great addition. But one of the biggest improvements is the new The buds have touch-sensitive controls on the exterior, an IR sensor to detect when they’re in your ears, and there are microphones for their ANC and Transparency modes. 👂 COMFORT: Compared to the original, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 have much better fit thanks to the new twist-to-adjust stabilizer. I was able to pull them into my ears without having to constantly re-seat them, and I didn’t feel any discomfort or pressure using them for a couple hours. While the original buds were comfortable and had decent fit, they just weren’t as easy to find a good fit. But Google’s really gone back to the drawing board here and I think this new stabilizer makes a pretty significant impact on the overall experience. 📱 SETUP: To pair to your device, you can open the lid of the case, then press and hold the button on the rear of the case, and the front LED will blink to indicate it’s in pairing mode. Once you pair with your device, you may be prompted to download the Pixel Buds app. If not, you can download the app from the Play Store. The Pixel Buds app may run through all the features, and you can manually perform the firmware update through the app as well. But since the Pixel Buds app is Android-only, you’ll need an Android device to perform firmware update. 🧠 FEATURES: The Pixel Buds Pro 2 feature much of the same capabilities as the original. It has Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), Transparency Mode, touch sensitive controls, multipoint audio and automatic switching, conversation detection, and a ton of Google Assistant integration. In addition, you also have the USB-C charging on the case and Qi Wireless charging. The touch-sensitive controls are pretty intuitive compared to other earbuds, but you can reconfigure them through the app. I’ve set my right earbud to toggle between ANC and Transparency modes, while holding my left earbud will engage Google Assistant. You can also use the popular “Okay Google” or “Hey Google” voice activation keywords. On the original Pixel Buds, there was a push-to-talk type of feature for Google Assistant where you could hold the earbud to speak, then release touch to finish your command, but it seems Google has removed that capability from their app. Another thing I noticed is that Google is no longer advertising their live translation mode for the Pixel Buds Pro 2. It used to be the case that you could tell Google Assistant to “Be my translator” and it would interpret a foreign language for you, but I tried to re-engage this feature but was unsuccessful. I tried to engage the multipoint audio with my Windows Laptop and found it to be pretty unreliable. I would encounter issues when pausing audio on one device and switching to the other, so I ended up disabling this feature altogether. Perhaps it would function more reliably with a Chromebook, but I don’t have one to test with. Your mileage may vary. Conversation Detection also worked quite well, in my experience. Saying “Yep” wouldn’t trigger it no matter how loud I would say it, but saying “Hello there” would always trigger it, even with quiet speaking levels. However, speaking with my “head voice” was much less likely to trigger it, so it will work better for people that have more resonant voices. Another feature which I found interesting was Gemini Live. If you set Gemini as your default Android voice assistant, you can say “Hey Google, Let’s Talk” and it enables a conversation mode where you can have a free-flowing conversation with Gemini. This could be useful for creative purposes like planning a trip or getting some information. Overall, I thought it was a cool idea, and it is unique to Pixel Buds Pro, but I’m not sure that there is any technical reason for this. And lastly, there is the Find My Device feature to help you locate your buds if you lose them. 🔉 SOUND: The default stock signature on the Pixel Buds Pro 2 is balanced, but I think a lot of people will want to use the “Heavy Bass” EQ preset for some additional bass that in my opinion, is tastefully done. One notable improvement from the original Pixel Buds Pro is that the treble response has been refined so that it’s not sibilant or sharp. In all my testing, my music and other content sounded pleasantly natural without any fatigue—even at louder volumes. Honestly, there is much less to complain about with the Pixel Buds Pro 2 when it comes to sound. And compared to similar Earbuds, I do think they’re quite competitive. There is also the Volume EQ which enhances bass and treble frequencies at lower volumes, and it actually did a pretty good job compared to the original Pixel Buds Pro. Moreover, they have a number of EQ presets that you can engage, as well as a basic 5-band EQ. 🏙️ ANC & TRANSPARENCY: The ANC on the Pixel Buds Pro 2 performs well when it comes to lower-end droning noises, but doesn’t quite do as well when it comes to higher-frequency noise compared to some other earbuds. But listening to energetic music at even low listening volumes would mask some of this high-frequency noise, making it a great option. But there’s no doubt there are better ANC options on the market. The Transparency mode on the Pixel Buds Pro is also improved from the previous generation. In my testing, things sounded quite natural—almost like you weren’t wearing any earbuds at all, but what gives it away is a lightly audible noise floor from the onboard microphones. You might not really hear it if you have significant tinnitus, but I didn’t find it to be distracting. 🎙️ MICROPHONE: The microphone is also very good, and sounds very clear. Under ideal conditions, this might be one of the best sounding microphones you can find on a set of earbuds. To my ear, the microphone sounded more like being on a speakerphone call—it delivers more lower-end body in the speaker’s voice, and doesn’t distort sibilant and consonant sounds during speech. It does a good job canceling out wind noise when you’re not talking, and it does a decent job at keeping your speech intelligible even with wind noise. While it can’t get rid of wind noise altogether, it still makes speech a priority and the speaker shouldn’t be cut out just because of some wind. 🔋 BATTERY: Google says the Pixel Buds Pro should last 8 hours with ANC on and 12 hours without. And with the charging case, they should get up to 30 hours of battery with ANC, and 48 hours without ANC. I imagine most people will use them with ANC, and I do think 30 hours is a reasonable expectation based on my testing. 🧐 CONCLUSION: Overall, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are a solid upgrade to the original Pixel Buds Pro in terms of sound, comfort and fit. If you were already quite happy with the Pixel Buds Pro, I’m not sure that the collective improvements will justify an upgrade, but I do think they’ve made some very good refinements this year and made a product that’s much more compelling for Pixel fans and Android users, alike. However, there’s been a lot of competition in the last 2 years since the original Pixel Buds Pro launched, and some of those other options come in at very competitive price points that deliver similar or better performance that ought to be considered. Even so, there are a lot of things to like about the Pixel Buds Pro 2, and would not count them out.

As someone who has used the Google Pixel Buds Pro for the past 2 years, it’s been a real treat using the Pro 2. I’ve been testing them with my Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel Watch 3, ROG Ally, and work laptop, so these earbuds have been used in a variety of conditions with plenty of devices. And overall… This is a solid generational upgrade. Everything has been improved across the board and these earbuds are feature-rich, just like the original Pixel Buds Pro. FIT AND COMFORT On the original Pixel Buds Pro, the fit and sizing were not great. Ignoring the issues I had with the sizing of the ear tips, it was hard to get the buds to stay in while working out. I would go for 3-4 mile runs and have my buds falling out of my ear almost immediately after I started working up a sweat. It was extremely annoying to have wet/sweaty hands, adjust the earbuds, and accidentally adjust the volume or move to the next music track. The Pro 2 buds have a twist-to-adjust stabilizer (wing) that keeps the earbuds in my ears while I’m moving around and working out – which means I can finally stop adjusting my earbuds constantly during workouts! Comfort is another key point here, and due to the reshaping of the earbuds plus the wings/stabilizers, the buds sit comfortably in my ears. I enjoy being able to turn the buds up and down to either “lock” or “unlock” the buds from my ears. When I’m just casually wearing the earbuds, I don’t need to have the wings providing additional stability, so having that pressure off of my ear makes them very comfortable to wear for multiple hours. ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLING AND TRANSPARENCY MODES Many tech nerds, myself included, have known for a long time that a certain pair of “pro” buds have some of the best noise cancelling and transparency modes on the market. But Google is now giving every competitor a run for their money. In transparency mode, everything external sounds natural – and I’m serious about that statement too. The original Pixel Buds Pro’s transparency mode was okay, but everything was slightly muted and muffled, which I wasn’t a fan of. With the Pro 2 buds, that is no longer an issue. Everything sounds – almost – perfect in transparency. When I’m talking in transparency mode, my voice sounds a bit altered and “heady”, but it’s a minor issue since the world around me sounds as clean as it does. The Active Noise Cancelling has also received a big boost, which I expected, but I didn’t expect it to be as big an improvement as it has been. According to Google, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 cancel twice as much noise as the first-generation buds, and honestly, I believe it. It’s easy to tell that the Pro 2 buds pick up on a broader amount of higher and lower frequencies and does a better job of blocking them out. Along with that, Google’s A1 Tensor chip samples the ambient audio 90 times faster than the speed of sound, so the increased sample rate absolutely helps the active noise cancelling. SOUND/MUSIC QUALITY This piece of the puzzle is interesting, because I have a strong feeling that Google is planning to improve the default pre-amp and equalizer. I felt that the default equalizer setting was underwhelming in most aspects. I wasn’t a fan of the bass, treble, highs, or lows… Mids were the only piece that sounded proper to me. Needless to say, I’m thankful that the equalizer allows for custom settings, because the sound quality is solid on these buds with some tweaks. My advice is simple – be sure to tweak the audio profile to fit what you’re listening to and you’ll enjoy the sound quality. When it comes to voice calls though, meetings and the like, the audio is perfectly crisp. I’m a huge fan of how clear the voice quality is on my side – and while this may sound hard to believe – the voice quality sounds better than all of my other headphones, including the Bluetooth headset I use for work, which is rather expensive. To anyone who uses their earbuds for lots of meetings and phone calls, you will truly enjoy the Pro 2 buds. Between the high-quality transparency mode and busy days of meetings I’ve had at work recently, I’ve kept these earbuds in for 6+ hours, and I would not do that with any other headphones/headsets/buds I own. BATTERY LIFE Let it be known that these earbuds have amazing battery life! The original Pixel Buds Pro didn’t have bad battery life by any means, but I felt that the charging was slow (for the case and individual buds as well), and I always appreciate more battery life. I’ve personally tested using the Active Noise Cancelling for 2 hours and had 77% battery life remaining on each earbud – so you can absolutely get 8 hours of audio with noise cancelling turned on. Along with that, I’ve noticed that the case charges faster, both wireless and wired, so I’m not charging my headphones for very long at all. Most of the time, after about 20 minutes on the charger, I’m almost at 100% and ready to tackle the day with my Pixel Buds ready to go. I know these aren’t accurate numbers/stats, but the battery life and fast charging experience has been wonderful so far. EXTRA FEATURES Google’s Conversation Detection feature works pretty well out of the box. It detects that you’re speaking and then puts the earbuds into transparency mode and pauses the music. I tend to keep it turned off because it will pause my music even when I’m already using transparency mode. Maybe Google will allow some tweaking for this setting in the future. Find my Device works great, I’ve tested it with each individual earbud as well as the case – and I’m really happy that the case has its own speaker now! I couldn’t find my case just the other day and I was able to ring it from my phone. Automatic audio switching is still a bit buggy at times, but when it works, it works beautifully. I really enjoy being able to go from a call on my personal phone to listening to a video on my work laptop and have the audio just switch automagically. Please note, I did have some times where I finished a call or video, tried to listen to content on my other device, and the audio wouldn’t switch properly. Again, I would expect Google to deliver software updates to improve this experience as time goes on, because that’s exactly what they did with the first-generation Pixel Buds Pro. CONCLUSION The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are the ideal package for someone like me. There might be some audiophiles who crave the highest quality audio and look for alternatives, but honestly, these earbuds are the full package. I don’t want to say that the Pixel Buds Pro 2 lack in audio quality, but as someone who uses devices with premium audio, I’d like to see Google push some software updates to improve the default sound settings. The earbuds themselves have high quality drivers, great battery life, and are packed to the teeth with features. I’d give these earbuds a strong recommendation, and to anyone who uses Pixel devices, these earbuds should be at the top of your wish list.

The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 sound great for music, audio books, and calls. I pair it with my Pixel 9 phone and once establishing a good connection, the buds work great. The controls on the buds are easy to use so you can quickly switch between Noise Cancelation or Transparency modes as well as change the volume and skip track or go to a previous track by tapping or swiping each earbud. The case is nice and sleek with a matte finish. Audio Quality These Pixel Buds Pro 2 have good audio quality, in my opinion. I listen to a variety of media throughout the day, and I have been satisfied with the audio quality on music, audio books, YouTube videos, and calls. Seems like the Tensor A1 Chip is doing its job! The Active Noise Cancellation with “Silent Seal 2.0” works very well - I am able to block out a lot of outside noise and you can really tell the difference between the Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode. The Transparency mode lets me listen in on my environment when needed - for me, that’s necessary when cooking, I still need to be able to have conversations with others and hear what’s going on. Switching between ANC and Transparency is as easy as long-pressing an earbud for about a second or two. It’s not a button, so a light touch is enough to trigger the actions, which I really like - the less pressure on my ear, the better. I picked up and made multiple calls while wearing the earbuds and everyone on the other end was satisfied with the quality - I experienced no interruptions on calls. I’ve had other earbuds in the past that sound muddled or quiet on either end of a call, but that was not my experience with this pair. Comfort & Setup These earbuds are comfortable and stay in place, although I can’t speak toward heavy physical activity, I mostly just go on walks and do light workouts and the buds have stayed put, especially once you twist them to “lock” them in. I ended up wearing them continuously for hours and didn’t have much discomfort, if any. I have sensitive skin and small ears so I went with the XS earbud tips and that size worked best by creating the least amount of pressure in my ear while still being able to block noise when needed. My Pixel 9 prompted me to “set up” the earbuds which goes through a tutorial and tests for noise reduction to determine if the eartip size fits best for you. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 come with the Medium tips attached but offer XS, S, and L tips which are easy to replace. Battery Life The battery life itself has been good, and I’ve been able to use them for a few hours at a time each day after an initial full charge overnight. Although I did have some initial connectivity issues, I concluded the case/earbuds were just not charged enough, even though when I did charge them, the steady white light was on indicating a full charge. I trusted the steady white light but that didn’t seem to be accurate. Despite that small hiccup, afterwards the case did a good job of charging the earbuds. There are multiple ways to gauge battery life - once connected, my phone will show the battery life of each earbud, but you can also open the case (with the earbuds in it) to see the indicator light which blinks slowly to show the buds are charging from the case and have more than 20% charge, or a solid white light to show 100% charge. When you close the case, the indicator light will glow white (case has more than 20%) or glow orange (less than 20%, case needs charge). Connectivity Once the earbuds have a full charge and have been connected to a device, they remember the device, so when I put them in my ears, they’ll automatically connect to my phone (assuming the Bluetooth is on). To connect to a new device, just hold down the button on the case and that enables the Pixel buds to be found via Bluetooth, the indicator light on the case will glow orange to indicate it’s in pairing mode. Overall I like having my bundle of Pixel products - they work well together. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are comfortable and sound good so I’ll be happy to continue using these when I want to listen to my own media.

I picked up the Buds Pro 2 because I wanted to give Pixel a shot when it comes to my ear pods. I was using Galaxy Buds Pro 2 before with only minor complaints, with a Samsung phone. Now I have a Pixel 9 I wanted to try the same brand on both. Much like with Samsung, the automatic integration was superb. Upon initially opening the pods case, the phone automatically detects them and takes you through a rather seamless setup process. Here is a quick summary on my thoughts. Pros Great sound quality Extremely comfortable even after extended use Good battery life Active Noise Cancellation Cons AI stuff Software can be finnicky at first To start off with build and quality, these are more like Galaxy Buds than Apple airpods. There is no stem, its their own design which I prefer. The buds feature two fitting settings. Simply pop them in your ears and your in comfort mode, if you're doing physical activities give them a twist and the bud will grip into your ear (not as comfortable but its not bad). The only complaint I have with the build on these is the grey outside. I'd have preferred a solid black look, or maybe white, but the grey just stands out on the black earpiece. The Buds have built in touch controls that are very easy to learn, with simply presses for play/pause, swiping for volume up and down, double tap for skipping, and long presses for turning on and off noise cancellation. The long press is also assignable so you can swap that out with something else like the AI assistant. The buds come with a few different sizes for you to fit to your ear. I would recommend waiting until the setup process though before swapping them out for what you think is right. The software has a feature that will test the fitment in your ear for you. For me, the software and my own comfort decided on the already installed ear cups. The software itself is good for the most part. I did run into an issue (which is pretty common apparently) where on first setup the software will not give you a Conversation Detection toggle. This has nothing to do with the software version or the firmware on the device, it simply will appear after some time. Once it did show up, I had no issues with the software. It has built in Hearing Health features, can tell you the decibels being put out by the ear buds as well as your surrounding environment and tell you when you should stop listening if you've been listening too long. Sound quality as stated was great. I found them to be slightly better than my Galaxy buds, and the built in EQ settings were nice (I prefer the bass boost mode). They get plenty loud, up to 95db as the software measured them. The sound quality didn't seem to distort at higher volume levels either like you'd have with other listening devices. I tested out an all day use with these when I first got them. The battery life of the buds never ran all the way down, though I wasn't listening to music all day. I used it with both noise cancellation on and off with the noise cancellation coming in handy for the really loud environments. The built in AI coprocessor supposedly real time tunes the sound for your environment but honestly I couldn't tell a difference. What I wish it was useful for was the Conversation Detection. I was pretty excited to try out that feature, but to my dismay it didn't work that well. If you are the one initiating the conversation it will pause your audio just fine. But if someone is talking at you, or having a conversation around you, it doesn't do anything until you talk. So I feel like thats a bit of a miss. Overall very happy with the Pixel Buds Pro 2 though. They work better in almost all regards compared to my previous devices while being extremely comfortable.

I am glad the case still retains that iconic eggshell look and feel. It just feels so good in the hand and is quite pocketable. The buds are nice as well, and while I like the Hazel color, I can’t help but want the Wintergreen for fun or Porcelain to match the case. The buds are quite small and are super comfortable to wear for hours. The “fin” allows for a very secure fit which stayed on no matter how much I shook my head. At the beginning, they felt like they were not lodged well, and the buds were kind of “out there” since I could barely feel them. However, I realized that this is actually a feature. They are great for working out, especially since they’re IP54 rated, and the case is IPX4(!). So, a little water or rain won’t be an issue. Having a Pixel phone, the buds paired automatically with no fuss and were updated automatically. I have not had any issues or disconnections, and noticed no lag or sync issues, especially in gaming mode. It also paired well with multi-point to my Pixel tablet. The touch controls are very responsive and intuitive, and I am glad everything can be controlled through them. The added AI features are welcome and makes me want to use Gemini much more. The battery life is not too shabby. I clocked them at about 7.5 hours with ANC/transparency mode on, which suits me just fine. The case adds 22 more hours. and is Qi wireless charger ready. When choosing the right size tips, the “silent seal” noise cancellation is quite decent, almost eliminating all low sounds, such as traffic and crowd noise, although high frequency noise can still come through, especially when taking the subway train. This is a non-issue when listening to audio. But what is truly impressive is the transparency mode. When on, everything sounds natural with no seemingly artificial augmentation, I can carry on a conversation without that “in my head” audio, making me forget that I was actually wearing them. The conversation detection mode is cool, but since I like to hum along music, did not have it on for too long. The call quality is superb. I was heard loud and clear. In transparency mode, it does feel like I was having a conversation in person. The integrated app on the Pixel phone provides robust customization. There, I can update the firmware, customize touch controls, and adjust the 5-band equalizer. I appreciate the “find my device” feature which not only tells you where the buds are, but also makes them ring. All the tech is great, but how’s the sound? Well, I am happy to report that the buds did not disappoint. I am a little sad that there are no Hi-Res LDAC or aptX codec support. However, out of the box, the 11mm drivers deliver very detailed audio that is more on the reference side. The bass is distinct and punchy, with a subdued sub-woofer feel. The midrange is rich and natural, which is great for vocals and spoken content, and the treble soars without being harsh. This is my preference, but for those who like more bass, or like to tinker with the EQ, the app offers a lot of customization and presets. The imaging is very clear, and the soundstage is expansive. I tried the spatial audio, which is great if you have a compatible source, but can also hurt the music experience. I found the head-tracking kind of useless with music, but interesting while watching content on my tablet. Lastly, I appreciate the Hearing Wellness feature which (hopefully) helps in protecting my hearing. In the end, I am quite happy with the Buds Pro 2. It all came down to audio quality and comfort. Since I still use the originals, I trust these will last for a very long time. The other features are just icing on the cake.

The best earbuds I've ever owned, well worth the upgrade! They are so light that my ears are fatigued after wearing them.

Product is very nice and I got good help and support from best buy during the buying process.

Best ear buds. I used to use air pods but when I switched to the pixel phone, these ended up being better

Overall its a very good earbuds for day-to-day usuage . Suits perfectly for my google pixel 9 pro. Unfortunately out of 450000 ear data points, my ear shape doesn't came , it seems . My ears are smaller than normal and started getting pain after 15mins of usuage. Google ahould come up with a better model that suits all ears.

I’m using the new Pixel Pro buds 2 with the new Pixel 9 Pro XL phone. The two work wonderfully together. The buds ship in a cream colored matte finish oval charging case that even slightly resembles the OEM charger for the phone. Although the buds can be used with other phones, The Pixel Pro Buds 2 are best paired with Pixel phones. The relationship is so natural and seamless, it reminds me of a similar set of “Pro” buds used exclusively with my other phone brand. The Pixel buds appeared on the Pixel phone display automatically as soon as I opened the charging case lid. I said yes when asked if I wanted to connect to the buds and the phone took care of everything else. The Pixel buds app was already preinstalled and ready for use. I wasn’t required to download the app or perform any manual pairing like other phones require. The Pixel buds app provides the ability to update the buds firmware, adjust sound options and settings, and help guide users into establishing a proper tip fit and seal. Sound quality is pretty good. I wouldn’t crown these the best sounding buds ever, but they are clearly in the upper tier. Music has a warm sound profile with decent bass and clear highs by default (no EQ). Instruments and voices have good distinction and blend nicely with no noticeable distortion. The Pixel buds offer six EQ presets, a five-band manual EQ, and spatial sound option for sound enhancement. It also has guided setups for ensuring the fit and seal provide the best possible sound quality and noise cancelling. The buds are also good for voice conversations, whether phone calls or videoconferencing. Voices are clear and decipherable on my end and the mics do a great job of ensuring parties on the other end hear me loud and clear. The clear calling feature helps improve call quality in noisy environments. ANC works well, but again isn’t among the best I’ve tried. It’s effective in most instances but certain higher pitched sounds tend to bleed through. The Pixel buds Pro 2 battery life is on par with similar options. I get about a week of listening time between charges. The case re-charges the buds between listening sessions and itself can be charged via Qi wireless or the USB-C port. Oddly, no charging accessories were included, not even a USB-C cable. Thankfully, I have plenty of extra chargers and cables, including the Pixel 9 phone charger which I also use for the buds. The only thing included besides the buds and case are extra sets of tips in different sizes. Among extras are integration with Google Gemini AI for voice driven AI commands and full conversation chatbot capability. The buds also have a locator feature that can locate the last known location of the buds even if offline. They appear on a map in-app and a sound can be sent to help pinpoint location. To summarize, the Pro 2 buds sound great, have decent battery life, good AI integration, good ANC, good communications performance and decent extras. Solid performance across the board, except for the exclusion of any charging accessories. I don’t know why it bothers me so much, but it does. This is my first pair of Pixel buds, so maybe I’m overreacting at something that has always been that way. It just feels like omitting something as cheap as a small cheesy USB-C cable is a sign of the times. A race to see who can give consumers the least in return for the most. Ok, soap box moment over.
