Wireless earbuds with adaptive noise canceling and hands-free Gemini
Google’s Pixel Buds Pro 2 are Google’s top-of-the-line wireless earbuds for listening to music, making calls, and just general daily use. You get very good ANC, long battery life, and a great fit, plus hands-free Gemini conversation capability, along with other useful features such as Conversation Detection and spatial audio. Google designed all these features specifically for its Pixel smartphones and Android-based phones.
Silent Seal 2.0 uses the Tensor A1 chip to perform noise cancellation and audio processing in real time. This lets Silent Seal 2.0 continuously monitor and adapt to both the ambient noise level around you and the physical shape of your ears as you move from a quiet office to a crowded, noisy train.
Comfort is also important. Because the earbuds are extremely small and light, Google designed them to be comfortable to wear, even while running or working out. Google included a twist-to-adjust stabilizer feature that secures them snugly once adjusted, and they include four different ear tip sizes to help ensure a proper seal.
Pixel Buds Pro 2 battery life lasts up to 8 hours with ANC enabled and up to 12 hours without ANC enabled. With the charging case, this battery life increases to up to 30 hours with ANC enabled and up to 48 hours with ANC disabled. The case itself supports wireless charging via a Qi pad or wired charging via USB-C.
Gemini lets you quickly ask a question or get directions without pulling out your smartphone. When you begin speaking, Conversation Detection automatically pauses music playback and switches your earbuds to Transparency mode, then resumes playing music once you stop talking.
When calling friends or family, Clear Calling delivers crisp, clear audio thanks to an internal microphone and a voice accelerometer that captures your voice based on jaw vibration. Spatial audio with head tracking makes movies and shows feel more immersive, and multipoint lets you switch between two connected devices.
The earbuds carry an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance, and the case is rated IPX4. If you ever happen to misplace the case, there’s a built-in speaker within it, allowing you to locate it using Google’s Find My Device app. The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 come in Porcelain, Hazel, Wintergreen, and Peony colors. They’re ideal if you own a Pixel or Android smartphone and want to use Google’s AI capabilities directly in your ears.
