Google's latest flagship earbuds, the Pixel Buds Pro 2, offer a substantial improvement over their predecessors. While the overall design remains similar, the new model is lighter and smaller, with improved comfort thanks to the return of wing fins.
The standout feature is a significant boost in noise cancellation, now twice as powerful as the original Pixel Buds Pro. Google has also introduced a new Tensor A1 chip, similar to Apple's approach with AirPods, which enhances sound quality and processing capabilities.
Battery life remains impressive, with up to eight hours of continuous listening with ANC enabled and a total of 30 hours with the case. Other features include improved voice calls, conversation detection, multipoint connectivity, and spatial audio head tracking.
The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are a compelling option for those seeking premium earbuds with advanced features and excellent sound quality. They’re priced slightly higher at $299 in Canada (from the original Pro's $259 price), but the new features might warrant the increase. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 will be available starting September 26. You can get$40 in Google Store credit when you buy Pixel Buds Pro 2 from now until September 28.
