The integration with the pixel phone is fantastic. I like the buds - they sound great and have solid noise canceling. I also like the small shape of the buds. They are not top of the line in anything, but if you want good buds that just work, get these.

First let me say that I am not a tech insider and although I am entered to win a 400 dollar gift card that I am pretty certain I will not win, I have not received any incentives for my review. This review is for sound and fit mostly. I have had headphones that range in cost from 20 dollars to 800 dollars. I can tell you that given all of the headphones I own, no two headphones sound the same, some are close but none sound exactly the same. When I purchased these during a BestBuy discount I really did not have high expectations but once I listened to these for the first time I was very impressed. These earbuds have very good noise cancelling and are very comparable to the Bose QC Ultra 2 earbuds which are known for industry best ANC. One of the best qualities of these earbuds are the fit. I don't use them to workout or run but they are easy to insert and I feel like I can wear these for hours on end and they would not bother my inner ear. You really cannot tell that they are in which speaks volumes for the way they fit. Now for the sound. I would not go as far to say that they have the very best bass or very best highs but they have an incredibly balanced sound signature. The bass is not overwhelming but very good and does not sound muffled. The treble or highs sound very clear and from listening to so many different brands of headphones I can tell you that these just sound incredible. Makes you want to listen to the next song and never take them out. I have not tested the battery life but have listened to them for many hours and the battery just never seems to go below 80% so I feel like battery life is very good. I consider myself a connoisseur of sound and these are my number one headphones to listen to at this time. I have not tested the new Samsung buds 4 pro's as they just came out but plan to once they go on sale. I would also like to say that I use an equalizer application called boom3d which I recommend which allows you to fine tune the sound of your headphones. They have a trial period so give it a try. Not receiving any kickbacks for promoting their product either. Just like it and it is available for Mac, Windows, Apple and Android products. These earbuds sound exceptional with our without the boom3d application. The pixel earbud app is good but do not use it to adjust the sound of the earbud, only use it for updates if needed. I want to add that although the headphones costing 800 dollars look very nice and also sound good, I don't feel they were worth the 800 dollars. If a headphone is going to cost 800 dollars then they should sound like 800 dollars and they don't (brand withheld). I have 400 dollar headphones as well as these 170 dollar pixel earbuds that sound much better. Hope this review helps. I don't think you will be disappointed at all by purchasing these Pixel pro earbuds. Also, I tried the Pixel 2a buds and felt that the sound of the Pro model was worth the extra money so I returned the 2a buds.

Lost my Denon Perl Pro, so I got these to replace it. Sounded great and the volume gesture to increase or decrease worked perfectly, As many reviewers have said, the buds are very small which feels that they will fall off but they fitted fine.

The Pixel Buds Pro are a fantastic choice for anyone in the Google ecosystem. The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is genuinely impressive, effectively silencing the low-end rumble of travel or office hum. I love the multipoint connectivity, which lets me switch between my phone and laptop without a hitch, and the swiping volume controls are some of the most intuitive on the market.
Where they could improve:
Secure Fit: The lack of stabilizing "wings" (like those on the A-Series) means they can feel a bit loose or "creep" out during heavy movement or long listening sessions.
Codec Support: For a "Pro" model, the lack of high-bitrate codecs like aptX or LDAC is a missed opportunity for audiophiles wanting the highest fidelity.
Wind Noise: While the ANC is great for steady sounds, it can struggle with wind, which sometimes creates a "whooshing" sound during outdoor calls.

I have used these for 4 months and found them to be better than my expectations. The sound is great, with a strong bass and what I found to be overall sound quality close to the Samsung xm4 earbuds. I have had no trouble with them staying in place, but I am not 100% sure they would be able to stay in if you are doing a heavy workout. But if you want a great sounding pair of earbuds that work seamlessly with android, give them a try.

Had the original ones and this upgrade was perfect. They fit extremely better than the original model. I do not ever fear that the buds will fall out of my ear (unlike the original ones which that happened constantly). My favorite thing about these buds is the transparency feature. I get great sound while still being able to hear everything going on around me. Perfect for walking through a city like NYC. Highly recommend for anyone already in the Pixel ecosystem or anyone who just wants good quality buds.

These buds are a great step up from the original Pixel Buds Pro. I use them all day at work to listen to podcasts without having to charge them. They're all-day comfortable and stay in place thanks to the little stabilizer wing. I also love being able to answer calls with a nod of my head.

Having owned this for a month, I have enjoyed them for the most part. Only within the past 2 weeks has the left earbud begun to not connect properly to the case leaving them on without my knowledge. Repositioning or re-dropping the bud in the case fixes the issue and it happens once a week so not a major issue. Possibly a pin/connection that needs to be cleaned.
Sound quality is good enough, I'm not an audiophile but the EQ mix is nice incase I'm feeling for more base.
Mic is passable in noisy conditions.
Battery life last about 8-9 hours with 50% volume and no ANC so it works well for me when I want to enjoy a movie or just listen to music at work.
All in all, I say these are worth a buy when on sale for sure or if you're looking for a new pair of android buds.

I had been using the previous generation for a couple of years. They survived a two trips in the washer, but didn't come out unscathed, so I bought these on sale for $169. They are a nice upgrade. The wing really helps keep the earbuds in my ear, and the noise-cancellation doesn't give you the feeling that your ears are clogged.

I think this is the fourth pair of earbuds I’ve tried in the journey of attempting to find some that fit in my ear as well as the old 2nd gen AirPods did. Aaaand I’m happy to say they’re the best ones by far. They are comfortable, sounds quality is excellent and I’m unexpectedly the most impressed with the controls. They’re responsive, intuitive and incredibly easy to use/remember. I’ll be sticking with these after trying some JBL , Sony and Bose options over the last few months. One odd thing to adjust to tho.. The case makes sounds/noises — still makes me jump a bit when it happens.
Overall — buy them. Big fan.

Great sound, smart features, solid fit. Noise cancellation is strong, and battery life holds up well. Touch controls could be smoother, but overall, a great choice for Android users.

I have had an earlier version of these Google pixel headphones and I really love the noise canceling feature, especially when I'm working out in the gym and the music is way too loud. It comfortably blocks out all of their terrible music, so I can listen to my own and it not damage my eardrums. There has been some interesting glitches with this set. There are some sound distortions that happen when I'm on phone calls or playing games on my phone. It happens periodically. I can't tell if it's the particular set that I have that may be a defect or if it's the product as a whole. I will be going into Best buy to connect with geek squad about it. On the whole, these earbuds are very comfortable, and the sound is incredible. My phone calls are crisp and clear. My only negative comment is the battery life. My previous buds used to last me a couple of days on the same battery. I feel like this set drains the battery a lot faster than the older version.

We’re glad you’re getting the most out of the noise cancelling on the Pixel Buds Pro 2, JessicaF! That said, we hear your concerns regarding battery life. Your earbuds will last depending on a few things but you can expect 12 hours of listening time without Active Noise Cancellation on and 8 hours listening time with ANC turned on.

Comfortable earbuds with good sound quality, functions, and comfort. As someone who used airpod pros for many years, these blow them out of the water. The sound quality is just as good as Apple will get you at a similar price, but the comfort of these for me personally is much better.

These were an upgrade from my Pixel Buds A. They were soooo worth the price! The noise cancelling is incredible, and the sound is outstanding (for ear buds). Very comfortable in my ears, but supplied with numerous sizes of ear cups.

Had the previous generation of these headphones, and this generation has made some great improvements. I really enjoy the secure fit of these earbuds and the good sound. With noise canceling headphones, I sometimes feel I have to shove the bud in my ear canal to get it to stay put, but the wings on these buds do a great job of holding them in without needing to do that. The noise canceling works great when I'm mowing the lawn. Overall I'm happy with the purchase!

As a long-time iPhone and AirPod Pro 2 user, I was skeptical about switching to Google's Pixel Buds Pro 2. Could anything truly integrate as seamlessly with my new Pixel 9 Pro as Apple's ecosystem? The answer, surprisingly, is a resounding yes!
Sound Quality that Sings: These earbuds deliver rich, immersive audio that rivals, and perhaps even surpasses, my AirPod Pros. The clarity is exceptional, with crisp highs and deep, satisfying bass. Whether I'm listening to podcasts or rocking out, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 consistently impress.
Comfort and Stability Redefined: Forget about constant readjustments. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 fit snugly and comfortably in my ears, even during intense workouts. I've put them through the paces on runs and weightlifting sessions, and they haven't budged once. Compared to the AirPod Pros, which sometimes felt loose, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 offer a noticeable improvement in stability.
Seamless Pixel Integration: Pairing with my Pixel 9 Pro was effortless, and the Google Assistant integration is a game-changer. Accessing information, controlling my music, and managing notifications is incredibly convenient with hands-free voice commands.
Noise Cancellation that Works: The active noise cancellation effectively blocks out distractions, allowing me to focus on my music or calls. While not drastically different from the AirPod Pro 2's noise cancellation, it's certainly on par.
Overall: The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 have won me over. They deliver exceptional sound, unparalleled comfort and stability, and seamless integration with my Pixel phone. If you're looking for a premium earbud experience, especially if you're in the Pixel ecosystem, look no further.

An excellent all-around experience, with good battery life, sound quality, and noise cancellation.
The only downside is how particular the fit is: be prepared to buy aftermarket memory foam eartips (<$20, not sold by Best Buy) if your outer ears are shaped differently than this product is built to expect or they will *not* stay in, which noticeably degrades the experience.
