Wonderful! Transferred from the beats+ and they are just PERFECT, it fits in really comfortably and the audio quality is great, notice cancelation and especially transparency is astonishing, battery life is really decent and they are really customizable, great value, and pretty good on the durability standpoint I do have one con though, and that is call quality, the mic is definetly just mediocre for calls, but other then that, absolutely perfect! Unless you make alot of calls, id reccomend this Read more

I wear these to bed and they stay in my ears no problem. I side sleep a lot. Last all night as well. Pricey for wireless earbuds, but the option and features give a higher standard of what an earbud can give you. Transparency mode is on all the time but I can still hear my music clear. Read more

Cautiously optimistic. Sound quality is very good (I am not an audiophile, just a casual listener to music. But spend a lot of time - 5 hours a day - on meetings, listening to podcasts and audio books). Noise cancellation is very good, although I don't use it in that mode a lot. Fit is excellent, twist lock works effectively. True multi-device bluetooth: that means I can have it connected to my Pixel and my macbook at the same time - not just Apple devices, which is handy for a multi-platform user. The gestures (swipes/taps for control) are also very functional Pro tip: don't get the white case, they do get dirty quite easily. Two things keeps me from a five star review: the battery life is not stellar, and I can't really use it for running because one ear is not tight enough with any of the provided buds to keep it from jostling, and get an annoying/audible click during a run. (Could also be my ear-canal shape too, but other in-ear headphones have stayed in before.) Read more

Much has been said about the audio quality of these buds vs the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 3 and the Airpods 2, and I think much of that commentary is inaccurate. It is true these buds do have a steep rolloff cliff at 15khz, but it is also true most adults don't hear well over 15khz - this is why the best lossy codecs such as Frauenhofer's famous MP3 codec, which people in studies could not differentiate from lossless at 320kbps, recommend rolling frequencies above 16khz off. Because its better to have accurate sound in the most audible frequencies with 16khz+ rolled off, than to have inaccurate sound in the most audible frequencies with 16khz+ intact. And this is where sites like RTINGS fail in interpreting their own graphs when they score these buds low in "accuracy", but then give the Galaxy Buds Pro 3 and Airpods 2 a higher rating despite them being less accurate in the most audible frequencies. The Galaxy Buds Pro 2 have bass boosted inaccurately, and the Apple Airpods 4 deviate from neutrality in the mids and highs - while the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are neutral - offering a higher fidelity listening experience. Would it be nice if earbuds went up to 20khz *and* were accurate in the audible range? Yes, but none of these three options do this currently. ALSO, it is worth noting that the Pixel Buds Pro 2 *nail* the Harman curve, unlike any of the other options. TLDR; if you want the most accurate sound in the *most audible* frequencies, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are the best choice. Also the Pixel Buds Pro 2 offer cool AI features the competition does not, such as nodding to accept a call, or shaking your head to decline a call. Now, I would not say they are flawless. I feel like the active noise cancelation (ANC) is slightly imbalanced, with the right being stronger than the left a bit. I tried two pairs, and the 2nd pair seemed better in this regard. I thought they were both extremely comfortable and stayed in the ear well with the default tips. The "wing" helps a lot in this regard. Haven't had them long term yet so can't comment on long term reliability. But so far, I would highly recommend them. Read more

As someone who used the original Pixel Buds Pro, the Pro 2 is a significant leap forward, not just a small refresh. The Fit (The best part): The biggest issue with the old ones was them slipping out during workouts. The new "twist-to-adjust" stabilizer fin is genius. You twist it one way to lock it into your ear for a run (and they do not budge), and twist it back to loosen it for all-day comfort at your desk. They are also noticeably smaller and lighter than the previous generation. Performance with Pixel 9 Pro XL: Pairing these with my Pixel 9 Pro XL was seamless. The connection is rock solid, and the new Tensor A1 chip isn't just marketing hype. The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is drastically better—it cuts out the low hum of the AC and traffic noise almost completely. The "Silent Seal 2.0" actually works. Gemini & Battery: Having Gemini Live accessible hands-free is surprisingly useful for quick questions without pulling out my phone. Battery life is solid—I’m getting a true 8 hours with ANC on, which gets me through a full workday. If you have a Pixel phone, these are a no-brainer. The integration is flawless, and the fit/sound quality makes them worth the upgrade. I got these in black and have had no issues so far with durability. Read more
