GooglePixel Buds Pro 2 - Wireless Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation – Bluetooth Headphones - Hazel

I bought these to replace my Pixel Buds A. I wasn't sure at first if they would be that much better, but now I don't want to go back. I like the active noise cancellation, and the best feature is that they automatically pause what is playing when they detect that you're speaking to someone. They also seem to fit better than the Pixel Buds A, at least they don't fall out that often anymore.

Love these. No other earbuds fit my ears well but here do. I got specific eartios that really helped too. The ANC is great and so is the sound quality. They pair with my Pixel very seamlessly and are very nice to use. The white case gets dirty easily and is not easy to clean, and the hinge degrades over time and becomes more flimsy, but it's fine.

Glad I purchased these earbuds, some of the most comfortable buds I own!! I have small ears and they fit perfectly and have a great seal..have yet to even come close to falling out..I pair them with my s23 ultra and the sound is great. Anc is very good and transparency is also extremely good..battery life is amazing with anc on..would recommend for sure..

1. do you prefer your earbuds to play the same audio at the same time?- then this product is not for you. the audio can frequently desync. hearing the same audio with at slightly different times in different ears is horrendous and maddening.2. but do both buds work?no! the left ear bud occasionally phones it in and it completely stops working. you'll have to forget the device in your Bluetooth settings and pair it again. don't worry. your time isn't valuable.3. does the audio on my phone stop when I put the buds away?No! When you put your ear buds back in their case after listening to audio, you should not expect your phone to stop playing said audio from it's own speakers.... even if you spend a fortune on a brand new pixel phone! I hope you weren't listening to metal right before volunteering with kids. because your phone's gonna keep playing it and everyone's going to hear it.4. are they good to run with?No. not at all5. does ai really make a difference?Yes. it's SO annoying. Gemini speaks up unprompted constantly. interrupts whatever you're doing, helps you miss turns you should have made while driving, interrupting your texting and phone use, all while stubbornly refusing to vacate your screen so you can use your phone6. does it get caught in pairing loops?most definitely! Your phone will just play the pixel buds connection sound over and over and over again. I think it's an interaction effect with other Bluetooth devices, but clearly the android project is attempting to give the pixel buds some administrative control beyond that of a normal Bluetooth device; unlike Harald Bluetooth, who united the Danish, your pixel buds will only succeed in driving wedges between you and the people around you mad with repetitive sounds.7. Who hurt you?You did google. The Bluetooth spec is absolutely insane. no one can implement it you have abhorrent code deep in your kernel and it's absolutely ruining your product. I think proprietary protocols are the most evil, and I desperately want to stay on a platform that plays the open source software game. But sometimes, I just want to switch to apple and watch the world burn.seriously. it's 2024, technology is worse, and we're all paying more for things that do more things more poorly than my poor younger self could have possibly imagined. stop releasing buggy software and inferior products.

I also use Tozo earbuds at night and they are a little larger and black with stems so easier to find in the bed if they slip out of my ears! I use the Pixels during the day.I would say the difference betwéen the Tozo and the Pixel is like the difference between a Toyota and a Lexus. Toyotas are very nice and reliable but the Lexuses are nicer and more refined and have more features.I love how these work with Gemini, and how they immediately shut down ANC when I talk, and answer the phone if when it rings I just say "answer". The ANC seems to be similar to the Tozo.If one can afford these with no pain they are worth it!

Just got them in today- i had ordered the "used - like new". But instead of getting the Peony like I ordered, it had Slate in the box. Thankfully they're the Pro 2 like I paid for, but the color is wrong. Not exactly a "used" defect.But other than that, the fit is really comfortable. My ears are sensitive, so I'm hoping that long wear time will prove to be still worth the buy. I have a Samsun S23 Ultra, so I'm using these buds with the app. I'll get back on later and update for the wear comfort and compatibility. But currently, it'll sit at 4 stars for the wrong color.
