Customer Ratings & Reviews

These earbuds are very cool and sound amazing! I like the ease of controls by tapping your earbuds. The Noise cancelling was great while traveling by bus, train, and plane. There's 3 noise cancelling settings but I only use 2. The transparency mode is pretty much useless cuz it creates an annoying hissing noise, so I customized the settings to only toggle between full-noise-cancelling and No noise cancelling. These earbuds connect automatically when you remove them from the case are smart enough to know when it's in your ears. I have always preferred over-ear headphones and still do but these are great for when I'm on the go.

I don’t even want to think about how many earbuds I have tried over the years, but as an Android user it has been a bit of hit and miss. I haven’t really found a pair to stick, although I have liked what Sony has done. I also used Google’s first PixelBuds offering, but, after a fit that did not really work for me, and not the best experience, they went back. I was intrigued by their more budget offering, the A Series, but just wasn’t compelled enough to make the move. After that somewhat drawn-out background story, I can simply say that I think these are fantastic, and I really like them. The unboxing is typical of most Google products these days. Cardboard, paper, little to no plastic, and about as minimal as you can get. That said, everything is done well, and looks good. I appreciate the effort. No need for more. Other than the buds and case themselves, you get the typical 3 sizes of ear tips (in a rather unique case), some paperwork, and well, that is about it. No power brick, which frankly, I again like, and also no charging cable. Fine by me, but I suppose others may wish it were included. I have cables, too many, I do not need more. Just something to note. As for the build, I really like it. They are “similar” to other PixelBuds (and most earbuds in general), but the shape is a bit more unique, and, thankfully, for me, there is no “wing/fin” in this version. As usual, fit is going to be a personal thing, but these are more comfortable for me and on par if not better than most if not all earbuds I have used. I haven’t found my ears bugging me even after a couple of hours of “mostly” continuous use. Further, they stayed in place. Again, this may depend on your ears. I think most people would find the fit would work for them, given the shape, tip size options, and fit, but you are just going to have to see. It is a roll of the dice. They are quite light, but they do seem solidly built. I think they will hold up over time. There is some water resistance IPX4 (on the case as well IPX@), which is a nice add, but I would lean more towards being careful with these near any water. Lastly, while they look like many in the space, I really like the way they look. The black is plain and muted, and I like that they sit mostly flush with my ears. They don’t stick out. They don’t have stems. Perfect for me. When it comes to the case, it is more of the same. It is a bit of an egg shape (and color), but it is solid, feels good in the hand, and has a great “clicky” feel and sound (if you are into that). It is fairly small, in line with most other brands, and it easily pocketable. Here, again, I think it will hold up over time. The buds are easy to get in and out. There is a charging indicator light on the front, and a pairing button on the back. All in all, no complaints here, and I can’t really ask for more. Connecting the buds for me was an absolute breeze. Now, I am using a Pixel 6 Pro, so I think the experience was somewhat catered to that, but my understanding is it should be very similar on just about any Android phone. For iPhone I do think you are simply required to hit the pairing button on the back of the case. Anyway, all that was required for me was to open the case with the buds inside. There was a little setup process that you are walked through, and after a brief period (and a probable firmware update), you are good to go. Very easy. Once connected, I have not suffered any connection issues. I have not run through every scenario I may see quite yet, but they have been solid. Hands down better than the original PixelBuds. Sound on these is quite good. It is hard to compare across so many brands/models/price points, but these are definitely great for their place in the market, and about a tick or two below some of the more expensive known best sound performers. I would say it is a bit more of a neutral/balanced sound, but at the same time they do deliver solid mids and highs. The bass is good, and clean, but not thumping. Through the software, there is a generic “Volume EQ” that I think does improve the sound. Unfortunately, a more robust EQ as well as Bass Boost are missing in the software for the Pro version at the moment. I think the sound is good as is, but it is a little unfortunate these settings are missing at launch. Google is promising a full 5-band full Equalizer during “Fall 2022” that will make bass boost irrelevant and let you dial in your settings more to your liking. Like I said, a bit of a miss not having this at launch, but it should be a nice add going forward. Further, they are also promising spatial audio during that same timeline. Again, a nice add. One of the main things that differentiates these Pro PixelBuds from previous iterations is the inclusion of Active Noise Cancellation. It performs rather well. It truly does block out the outside world. Again, I can’t say it is best in class, as I have to say Sony has that claim on lock, but they stack well against almost all others. I think a proper fit does wonders here, so make sure to test the ear tips and go through the “seal test” they offer. As for the Transparency Mode, it seems to also work well, but, frankly, I am not sure how much use I will get out of this. We shall see as I go forward. Briefly, I have had no issues using these on calls. It is not something I do a lot, especially in this way, but everything sounded good on my end, and people on the other end said I came through clear, and even somewhat better than in the past. Now, this may be a hit of a hit or miss depending on your phone, but I think in some ways the best part of these buds is how they work with my phone. Again, I am on a Pixel, and I cannot speak to how this all works on another Android phone or iPhone, but the integration is fantastic. This is in conjunction with the absolutely outstanding touch controls on the buds themselves (which should work as well no matter the phone/platform). I have not often used a lot of touch controls, because I have found them finnicky, often not registering, or mistaking a movement, but that is in no way the case here. The controls themselves are somewhat standard, volume, track, etc… but you can also map Google Assistant to one bud, and toggle ANC on the other. Further, the taps, swipes, and holds seemingly all register correctly, and it seems they have a little “leeway” when you do an action. That is, if you are slightly “off” and hit your ear briefly before swiping forward, they sort of get it and still do the correct action. Beyond the physical controls, you can also choose to go hands-free with Google Assistant, using a key word for activation. You can have notifications read. You can use Google Translate. In a lot of ways, I think you get a lot of the advantages one has from being all in with the Apple ecosystem, but with Android and Google. It is a not a bad thing. One last thing along those lines is the “Multipoint” connectivity. It allows you to switch audio between devices rather seamlessly. There is a bit to getting it setup among devices the first time (essentially the same setup as other earbuds that offer it), but once I had it up it worked better than I originally thought it would. All in all, I like it. Lastly, battery life has been outstanding. So far it seems the rated times (for buds and case) hold up, although it will really vary based on how you use them. Do keep in mind that the rated times for ANC are lower than when not in use. Charing (in the case) is via USB-C (and wireless, but it is slow), which is great, and it does include fast charge. 5 minutes in the case gives you 1 hour with ANC. 15 minutes gives you 3 hours with ANC. I didn’t mean to sit down and write a book here, but, ultimately, I really do like these buds. They are my favorite to date. I think for what you get, they are a great buy and value, although they probably? will go on sale every now and again. I think if you are in the Android/Google ecosystem, and even more so a Pixel user, you will be happy with these earbuds. They sound good, look good, and you definitely get a lot of utility and a frictionless user experience. That said, I even think people in the Apple ecosystem would like these buds, given fit, sound, etc…but there are some tradeoffs. You would lose some Apple ease of use benefits, and at the same time you would lose some of the Android ease of use benefits. Just something to keep in mind..

The Audio is Awesome! The Codec AAC is very superior to SBC of others earbuds. One thing that is more my problem, is that are very little slippery, I mean, if you have some dirt in your ear, these may fall off more easily when you move fast or make sudden movements. In my case, a lot of dirt collects no matter how much I clean it hehe, I also have my right ear a little open where the Headphone is placed, but even so they are much better than the Pixel A-Series that I had. PD: I recommend use it with the Pixels Phones, the Experience is more Native but is just a Recommend, works fine in others Phones.

Comfortable fit, beautiful sound, noise cancelling and look great!

I actually got these earbuds for free with a phone purchase. I also have the previous model but mostly use the beats fit pro. These headphones work great but do tend to move in my ears somewhat if I'm being active. The quality is very good and as I stated the sound is very good along with the noise cancellation. I just wish they would have implemented some kind of fin or hook to help keep them in place. Other than that they work great.

Hard to find something better at this price range. Great audio, quality of life, and comfort

The sound is good and they hold good charge, portable and easy to hide.

I've loved these so far. The battery life is great and the sound is awesome.

Fits perfectly, great sound, mic works as expected

Excellent product integrates well with the Google pixel platform, though it could be better in some ways. The noise canceling and ambient sound, as is the voice assistance, is impressive, though the sound quality isn't quite as remarkable.

These have excellent sound quality ! I love them and love how they are black, I only wish the case was black too . They stay in my ears quite well and don't cause me any pain after using them for hours unlike other pairs . They have great features and I love being able to hear my notifications by pressing on the earbuds.

The 'passive mode' is great if you want to keep the earbud in but listen to what's around you. The noise canceling works well. The best feature is -- what I call -- the 'right fit test.' The app/buds will tell you which bud size best fits your ear.

The sound quality is out of this world! Love the feature of built in equalizers. The transparency mode is really clear and the noise cancelation is seriously impressive.

I purchased these to replace a pair of Samsung Buds +. My first impression was great with them, but after a week I am totally frustrated. The fit for these seem to be impossible. I have tried all the silicone ends, purchased and returned the foam ones (They hurt more than the og tips). I cannot get over how disappointed I am. With a Pixel phone, this is the preferred choice, but I am so fed up with having to fiddle with them on even a walk. As for quality these are awesome, but a big part of a bud is staying in your ear. I never had any issues with the Samsung buds, but they had a wing, and that must be the difference.

The Pixel Buds Pro sound quality and noise-cancelling is great! The fit in the ears is slightly loose and wouldn't feel comfortable running or working out with these.

They are a 4.5. Sound is great. Only took away due to the fit. They are not snug in my ears. I had to order an after market ear wing from a seller on Etsy.

These were the best purchase of the year! The noise cancelling is not top notch, but it's the best listening experience I've had in a while.

Works as advertised for the most part and the sound quality is really good with the noice cancellation working flawlessly but sometimes during a call the voice becomes choppy

nice sounds and bass with hd calling works better then the airpods pro with less weight hanging out your ear but intended to be in your ears also case it grip able with better materials with usb-c charging

The sound is so nice and actually really blocks out every sound with the noise cancelling
