Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 are wireless earbuds that feature strong active noise cancellation, an adjustable in-ear fit, and a deeper connection to Gemini AI. With large 11mm drivers and a high-frequency chamber for very clean, crisp treble, along with strong low-end bass, the buds deliver a full range of audio. Spatial Audio with head tracking is also available and lets users experience immersive surround sound when watching movies or listening to music via a compatible source. These earbuds’ versatility makes them an excellent all-around choice.
Wireless earbuds with premium sound
The Active Noise Cancellation feature on the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2, called Silent Seal 2.0, has been improved to block out more ambient noise than before, so that continuous rumble and background chatter become virtually non-existent. The in-ear seal initially cuts out most of the ambient noise, and then the spatial audio with head tracking and 11mm dynamic drivers inside the updated acoustic chamber continues to maintain the midrange and upper frequencies that contain vocals and details, which remain easy to hear and understand, while maintaining the lower frequencies that give the music “punch.”
The comfort and fit of these earbuds rely heavily on the twist-to-adjust mechanism and a variety of different ear tips provided with the purchase. When you’re traveling quickly, you can lock the stabilizers into position for a tighter fit, but you can loosen them if you want to listen in a more relaxed way. Plus, since there are no hooks or stems on the earbuds, the in-ear design is more discreet than bulkier designs.
Google designed the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 for long-term listening rather than constant recharging. Using the charging case, the earbuds can last for up to 30 hours of listening with Active Noise Cancellation enabled. If you need to recharge them, you can use USB-C fast charging, and you’ll be able to top them off quickly if your battery level drops unexpectedly.
The smart features on the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 rely on the Gemini AI Assistant, so you can stay hands-free for many of your interactions. You can request quick answers, lists, or playlists by asking your voice assistant questions, and Conversation Detection can pause your audio and switch into a more transparent listening mode when you begin speaking. To improve call quality, the beamforming microphones on each earbud, the wind-blocking mesh covering the microphones, and the AI processing work together to deliver clearer calls, even in noisy environments.

Since the earbuds use Bluetooth 5.4 to establish and maintain a reliable wireless connection, you can easily control volume, playback, and noise modes with the touch-sensitive controls on the earbuds themselves. Additionally, the earbuds also have an IPX4 water-resistance rating, allowing them to withstand both sweat and light rain. The Google Pixel Buds 2 Pro’s current discounted price of $179 (down from the original retail price of $229) means you get a great deal on an excellent pair of headphones.
