    First note: the Google Pixel 8 Pro phone refuses to play nicely with many other TWS. Many Samsung and Bose models/varieties became almost unusable, pressuring me into using "Made for Google" compatible gear, like the Pixel Buds Pro. I am still resentful of this, as it seems deliberate... Regardless, all of the feedback below is especially true if you pair with a Pixel phone or related Google device. Overall, they are excellent. They are very small, light, and comfortable buds, and the case is small and well-designed. The fit is surprisingly secure; I use them primarily at the gym while training and in the car. Features and connectivity are excellent. The sound quality is far better than I expected (I'm a pro audiophile reviewer), more than good enough for out and about. Noise cancellation is above average, not the best. The upside is that the ANC is not intrusive or disorienting. Transparency mode is excellent, and call handling and quality are above average. I have minor nitpicks... the white case very quickly picks up scratches and dark marks. With the fit and touch sensitivity near the edges, it's easy to take unwanted actions when inserting and removing the earbuds. More ear tips should be included, and you may have to find better alternatives to ensure you have the best fit and ear tip seal (look to Dekoni Audio for better tips).

    These buds are everything I want out of earbuds at this price point. They last a full work day (8-10 hours in my case), the sound quality is excellent, people can hear me clearly on calls, and the transparency mode is more than adequate for my infrequent need of it. The touch controls are responsive and easy to use as well. Finally, they are comfortable in my ears all day. They stay firmly in the ear, without slipping or falling out. I do have a pixel phone, so I can't speak to how they perform without the pixel-specific features.

    I have an obsession with wireless earbuds/headphones, it's a problem. I have used every variation of the Pixel Buds along with AirPods, Samsung Buds, and Sony WF-1000XM4. I can wholeheartedly say that these are among the best set of earbuds I have ever used. I've been using the Pixel Buds Pro for a little over a week since their release. During that time I have integrated them into my daily routines. I have had them in my ears for hours at a time, never close to depleting their 8-hour battery, but enough that I have had to recharge their case a couple of times already. Battery life is amazing one of the best. The sound quality is great. The sound is rich and warm with good separation. Not as bright of a sound as you get from some other earbuds. I really enjoyed the sound profile. I would say the only earbuds that I think sound better than the Buds Pro are the Sony WF-1000XM4s, but those are a bit more expensive and have an EQ. Google has said that they will release an EQ in a future update so that might change my opinion. Noise cancellation is also top-notch. To me they were better than the rest, only coming in second to the WF-10000XM4s once again. Just like the sound quality, the difference between these and the Sony's in ANC is small but noticeable. I use the ANC in my home when I needed to focus on my work, and it does a great job of blocking out the noise of my sons running around or my wife running on the treadmill in the same room. The fit is amazing, These are the most comfortable earbuds I have used besting even the AirPod Pros for my ears. Regardless of how long I have them in my ear they never felt uncomfortable. I have gone on a half dozen runs usually lasting around 30-45 minutes and they have stayed in place without as much as a wiggle. I was worried about this since they remove the little fin the Pixel Buds-A had. The software is the last thing that wraps this entire package up. Google Assistant integration. You can have Google read your messages and you can reply with your voice without even looking at your phone. Multipoint and Auto Switch work seamlessly between my phone and computer. I had these paired with Windows laptops, Chromebook, iPhone, and Pixel phones and they always switched over without a hitch. These have very quickly become my favorite earbuds. I would recommend these to anyone including those using Apple devices. Sound quality and ANC are better than anything that Apple is offering. If you have an Android device or Windows laptop these are a no-brainer. I would even recommend these over the Sony offerings due to the Pixle Buds Pro comfort, and Auto-Swith/Multipoint features.

    Bought these as a gift for myself for Christmas, so as of this writing I've only been using them for a week. I will say that you should spend some time fitting them properly and playing with the settings just to be sure you have them to your liking before trekking out into the world, but they've been great so far. Wonderful sound quality, great noise cancellation, and the 'transparency' mode makes it sound as if they're not even in. Definitely recommend!

    I pair these with a Galaxy s23 Ultra. Misplaced my Galaxy Buds+, and needed something quick, as I use earbuds for work all day. Friend (Pixel user) had recommended these as an alternative. Multipoint has been a game-changer. I used to manually switch between work laptop & phone, which became tedious - sometimes I'd even miss calls when trying to switch to the laptop. With Multipoint, the Pixel Buds recognizes both devices & switches for me. The transparency mode & touch controls are really well executed. Not perfect, though - volume is a little low, and fit is not as good as Buds+.

    Huge upgrade from my normal pair of earbuds. I love the quick connectivity, the auto silence feature for conversations, and the fit. Speaking of the fit, on occasion I find that they work themselves out slightly, not enough to fall out but enough to break the seal in my ear. I think that when this happens its mostly because I didn't "twist" them in, so more of a user error than a product defect.

    It's about the buds we made on the way

    Lost my old Pixel Buds A when they fell out of my pocket somewhere on a 20 hour road trip. So in a pinch I purchased these, and I could not be happier. 20 hours and driving 14 of them straight in a noisy rickety car is an adventure but these changed the road trip and made my time behind the wheel more comfortable. During sections of highway where there high winds, rain, and snow I was able to turn on the noise canceling feature to create an experience where I didn't have to fear every noise was a panel falling (car is an econobox). On top of the clarity of the music, the comfort of the ear buds, and the ease of use, there is the ability to use transparency mode, which I do know a lot of other brands have but the experience I had with these surpassed the ones I've tried in the past. Things to also not, wireless charging, speed of charging and longevity, clarity and quality. Would recommend to anyone looking for comfortable earbuds with good quality noise canceling and audio clarity. Final note here, I'm neurodivergent. There are products I use to keep certain senses in check when I become feeling overwhelmed. I use Loops for day to day interactions and work. For music when I'm out an about or at home and don't want to use the speakers I wear these. I wear them everyday for at least 2 hours, I found them to be extremely comfortable and easy to use when I need quiet. I'll recommend these as quality earbuds but also as a nice alternative when you need to dull external stimulation but provide comfort.

    No one can beat the price of Best buy. I did compare on Amazon and also on the Google store Best buy was offering the best deal brand new or $50 less than any other places. The quality of the product is so good. It works seamlessly. I highly recommend to buy from Best buy. I was surprised when I saw the price and the quality of the product. It's mind-blowing.

    The sound is great, my only issue is that they don't stay in my ear when moving about and that could be bacuse my ear canals are small. I would have given them 5 stars.

      Hey there, TishaB. We appreciate that you like the sound quality along with the battery life of the Pixel Buds Pro. It’s unfortunate to hear that they don’t stay in your ears whenever you’re on the go.

      Your Pixel Buds are pre-attached with medium eartips and come with small and large ear tips so that you can improve your fit. Try different sizes for each ear to find the best fit. A tight seal gives you better sound, noise cancellation, and mic performance. Ears are unique so your left ear may be different from your right ear. So it’s not always possible to get a perfect seal, and audio can leak in from outside. With Silent Seal, Pixel Buds Pro can adapt to the shape of your ear and adjust Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to compensate, so you can fully immerse yourself in music or clearly hear your video call. Check this link for more details: https://support.google.com/googlepixelbuds/answer/7573099

      If you’re not getting a perfect fit with our silicone eartips, memory foam eartips might be ideal for you. And if you still need help about getting the right fit, you may visit us through our contact channels here: https://support.google.com/googlepixelbuds/gethelp madebygoogle

    A really solid pair of earbuds

    Comfort: 5/5 I upgraded from the Gen 1 Pixel Buds (the ones with the wingtips) and these are easily much more comfortable to wear for longer times. Despite the lack of wingtips in these, they actually stay in my ear better and don't need to be constantly adjusted, nor give me the "worried they'll fall out" feeling. Sound: 4/5 The sound quality is really good, however a minor nitpick is that I have to bring the volume to about 70% to hear things when watching videos. Battery life: 5/5 I use these during work with moderate use, and I can get away with charging every 2-3 days (instead of every night). Pairing + Swapping 5/5: With the Fast Pair integration (if you're using a Pixel), these will register seamlessly. They also swap seamlessly between my Pixel 7 and my iPad Pro, which is really nice. (Keep in mind this feature is off by default.) And....that's it. These are a really solid pair of earbuds. As of writing this on December 7, there is no Spatial audio, but that has been said to arrive in a January update.

    Have been waiting for these 1.) Fit & Feel: (Feel more comfortable than previous generations) The unique shape seems to be more ergonomic to ME. The fins are missing but then again I don't think these need them 2.) Connectivity: Rock solid connection! No cut-outs at all, very pleased with this 3.) ANC: Gets the job done! ANC is a tier below the Sony LinkBuds S and better than the any of new Jabra Elite line up (7 Pro, & Active, etc.) ANC is not as good as the Beats Fit Pro but surprisingly close to the AirPods Pro 4.) Sound: This is where I was left wanting more! I went back and forth with these and Pixel Buds A Series, and I feel a little more thump in the bass department with those than these Pixel Buds Pro. Sound is subjective but I feel as if they took the direction of AirPods Pro and wanted to go for a more neutral profile. The Mids are not as present as they are on the AirPods Pro but the overall soundstage blows those out of the water. I really hope they can add the bass boost effect with the slider like they did on the Pixel Buds A, as I feel this would really make these that much better! Overall an above average sound but did expect more 5.) Price: I feel it sits perfect between the $179-$199 mark any more and this would be very hard to justify as there are superior TWS sets on the market. I do recommend, just be aware these are not bass canons, and there is serious competition out there

    These buds have really solid sound quality, range, volume, and microphone quality, but the shortcomings exist in the case. Ive had issues with buds not disconnecting and instead staying on even when placed in the case, refusing to charge, which occasionally requires me to turn the bluetooth off on my phone. Keeping them clean regularly is also a must. The software was non-existent for the longest time, which was extremely frustrating, but Google finally managed to fix it and now I have access to my settings.
