The Pixel Buds Pro 2 improve on the key shortcomings of the predecessors, making them one of the best second-gen products. The new Google earbuds are similar-looking but smaller, lighter, and more comfortable – in fact, these are some of the most comfortable earbuds I’ve worn to date. But the upgrades come at a $30 price increase. Are these worth the $229 / €249 / INR 22,900 price tag? The short answer is, yes. The long one is below.The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are 27% smaller and 1.
Like the Pixel Buds Pro, Google offers a full suite of controls on the Pixel Buds Pro 2. For context, non-stem earbuds usually make you compromise on at least one control—playback, volume, ANC, or voice assistant. You get all of these simultaneously on the Pixel Buds Pro 2. Pairing them with my Google Pixel 9 Pro XL was easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy. You don’t need an app for Google phones—just open the case, and the Buds will pop up on the screen.
The Pixel Buds Pro 2 offer great stereo separation, meaning you can distinctly hear each instrument, even in complex tracks. The improved treble enhances energetic tracks, providing a delightful listening experience. Vocals are clear as well. However, it remains buggy for now. For instance, I asked the assistant to change its voice from male to female, which it confirmed it did but continued to use the default voice.
