Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 review: great noise-cancelling from these small earbuds

Even if you don't get on with Gemini Live, the noise cancelling in Google's second-gen Buds Pro is really impressive

Excellent noise cancellation (ANC) ; Strong performance for the size ; Seamless Google integration ; Great battery life

Not sold on the stabiliser ; Lacks hi-res codec support ; Gemini Live not that useful ; Delay when answering calls

The Google Pixel buds Pro 2 refine the offering of Google's previous earbuds with a more compact body and lighter weight, while extending the battery life and improving the active noise-cancellation (ANC. The sound from these earbuds is great too, but...

Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 review: tiny earphones that are drowned out by the competition

Google's new pro buds are tiny and cute, but they might be a pain in your ears

Great noise canceling and transparency modes ; Alright sound, if a bit soft and wooly ; Brilliant battery life

Smaller size means an awkward fit for some users ; Price tag is close to superior options

The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 offers decent sound quality, improved noise cancellation, a great transparency mode and a much smaller frame, but unfortunately many of the improvements are overshadowed by awkward market placement and design issues. The...

Google's Pixel Buds Pro 2 are sleek and comfortable but sound surprisingly lackluster

Despite their excellent design, there are better wireless earbud options than Google's Pixel Buds Pro 2 out there.

Comfortable design (for me) ; Gemini integration is impressive ; Great noise-cancellation

Sound quality isn't great ; There are better wireless earbuds out there ; Some may find the winged design uncomfortable

Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 are the first earbuds to be built on the Tensor A1 chipset. The earbuds support Google AI, paired with ANC and Silent Seal 2.0 technology for improved noise cancellation.

Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 review: a sensational sequel

Comfortable, compact, and really rather clever - the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 improve in all the right areas

Some of the most comfortable and secure-fitting earbuds around ; Engaging audio and competitive noise cancelling ; Longer-lasting battery

Limited Bluetooth codec support ; Find My Device support can be flakey ; Still not the last word in sound quality or ANC for the money

You don’t need a Pixel phone to appreciate Google’s new earphones. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are wonderfully comfortable, fully-featured, and sound great – while staying competitive on price.

Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 review: tiny, terrific earbuds | Digital Trends

Google's latest earbuds are astonishingly small and light, yet offer better ANC and sound quality than the first-gen Pixel Buds Pro.

Incredibly light and comfy ; Stellar noise canceling ; Great sound quality ; Fun Google Gemini integration

No hi-res codecs ; Limited spatial audio

“You'll be surprised how much of an upgrade gets packed into a smaller package.”

Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 Review: Better AirPods Pro for Android

These excellent noise-canceling wireless earbuds are especially great for small ears.

Small and comfortable. Excellent noise canceling. Good battery life. Work perfectly with Android. Wireless charging and USB-C.

Case could be smaller. Expensive. Gemini AI isn't super interesting or useful.

Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 review: big upgrade, much smaller earbuds

Google's Pixel Buds Pro 2 are all you can ask for when going from one generation of earbuds to the next. They're substantially lighter, smaller, and more comfortable to wear. The active noise cancellation and transparency modes have both markedly...

Smaller and lighter design is supremely comfortable ; More powerful noise cancellation ; Crystal-clear transparency mode ; Very pleasant and detailed sound quality

ANC can’t quite match Bose ; Google still refuses to add higher-quality Bluetooth codecs, limiting overall fidelity ; Gemini Live feels more feeble than futuristic

We’re in a world now where the phone you have often determines (or strongly influences) which earbuds you’ll end up pairing with them. But thankfully, we’ve also reached a point where everyone — Google, Samsung, and Apple — is putting forward their...

Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 Review: A Worthy Upgrade With One Caveat

With a tight seal, Google's redesigned Pixel Buds Pro 2 sounds great and offers improved noise-canceling performance. While they cost more, they're a tempting upgrade for Pixel owners.

Smaller design ; Improved sound and noise-canceling ; New, more powerful Tensor A1 chip ; Excellent battery life ; Good voice-calling performance ; Hands-free Google Assistant for Android users ; Spatial audio

Ear tips may not allow some people to get a tight seal ; No support for AptX or LDAC audio codecs for Android users ; A few features not available for Apple users
