Pro 2 fits a lot better - I have both and I stopped using 1st Gen pro.
r/pixelbuds • Pixel buds pro or pro 2 ->I used to love my pixel buds, bud they randomly decided to do this thing where they connect to things while in the case, so they constantly discharge themselves and are therefore unusable. Still sad about it tbh
r/SteamDeck • What headphones you pair your Steam Deck with? ->Pixel Buds Pro 2. I'm happy with them, but I wouldn't have gotten them at full price. There are definitely better models available for the money
r/GooglePixel • What wireless earbuds are you using with your pixel ? ->Go with the 2s. They're smaller, much more secure, it's not a close comparison. Good luck!
r/pixelbuds • Pixel buds pro or pro 2 ->This^ I just went down this rabbit hole and everyone's opinions online varied wildly from my own in person experiences. I ended up keeping Galaxy Buds 3 Pro (pixel phone). I tried Pixel Buds Pro 2, JBL Tour Pro 3, OnePlus Buds Pro 3, and Nothing Pro (2024).
r/Earbuds • Best wireless earbuds? ->I have Pixel buds Pro. Love them Bose Quiet Comfort- they're nice. and some cheap sound core fro. Amazon.. perfect for work
r/GooglePixel • What wireless earbuds are you using with your pixel ? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS

I use Pixel Buds Pro 2 in the gym for the noise cancelling and use Jabra Elite Active 8 for running because they come lose
r/pixel_phones • Favorite earbuds or headphones for Pixel users? ->I finally bought something off the Google store, super seamless. The earbuds were great. I think they were around $250. Definitely have decent low end bass tones in it. All in all I'd give them a B+
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->The pixel buds pro are the ones I just picked up. Definitely a great price, durable, practical, I love that Google, basically copied Sony's software, and it's an American company. That's the American way in a sense of taking technology and then creating a business in America. It was the first time I ever used the Google store, it took minutes, shipped fast, was a lovely buying experience; and as the Google store gets bigger and bigger, I'm sure they'll add to their product line. Definitely great overall Price point for a great product that hopefully lasts a while. I think mine are maybe 6 months old, barely used but definitely practical for phone calls temporarily, maybe a webinar, computer use for zoom calls Different colors, nice sleek 3D printing, sinks seamlessly with the phone. I think I had issues with an old Sony over the ear that we're about 350, it seemed they just wouldn't sink or were degenerate with an old MetroPCS Samsung phone I had. I think that's why I got frustrated, I might have damaged them, but luckily I bought him at Best buy and I could just return them as I had the warranty. * The Sony ones I bought for an ex-girlfriend, I thought they were extremely good for the price, I can't reference the sound, maybe check the frequencies, and the actual math data in between the two and find out between the Sony's And the pixel buds, for 75 bucks. What do you get? Are you getting deeper frequencies, maybe deeper bases, so that might be an angle to consider and check if you have the final two.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->I got pixel 6 pro and am still using pixel buds pro. Sometimes a little buggy but I'm not done with them yet
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->i have very positive experience , not probably the best , but very good.
r/Earbuds • View on Reddit →Love the descriptive review. I HAVE to ask. How long you been using the PBP2s? I have one as well and I just love the form factor and use transparency more than I thought I would. The only thing I am experiencing is the battery drain on the case. Does your drains quickly as well? Also, are you seeing the other RMA'd issues that other redditors are reporting?

r/GooglePixel • View on Reddit →Just got the Buds Pro 2 after my Pros 1 died in the dryer. Incredibly disappointed with the audio quality but the fit is a lot better.
r/pixelbuds • View on Reddit →The pixel buds 2 pro and bose qc 2024 earbuds, my current daily drivers
r/Earbuds • View on Reddit →I did not like the XM5s personally. They sound good, but the fit did not work well for me and they felt large and like they stuck out too much. Definitely make sure you can return them if you try them and they don't fit well, all our ears are different but I've heard from a lot of people on them that they found them a poor fit. I really liked the Pixel Buds Pro 2. However I'm on my second pair that has developed the same issue the first pair had, which is a throbbing sound in one ear at times (kind of like the sound in a car when you only roll one window down). So I'm concerned about reliability on these and I'm out of warranty now. I have ended up with JBL tour pro 3s which so far I have really liked, good fit and comfortable and good sound. The LCD case is a bit of a gimmick though and I wish I could have gotten the same buds cheaper with a generic case.
r/Earbuds • View on Reddit →I've yet to find anything better than the Buds 2 Pro, been rocking these for more than a year now and they've been very good.
r/Earbuds • View on Reddit →Buds Pro 2 have battery and quality issues. Many people have noted issues. Check cmf subreddit snd fourms
r/Skullcandy • View on Reddit →Now this is just my experience. Unless, you bought the pixel 8 Pro on launch day, pixel buds a series, and pixel watch 2. And then for 6 months you could only use the watch and phone together or the watch and the earbuds together but not all three and not the phone and the buds. So there's that. (Multi Point) To be fair, I did wind up with the pixel buds Pro. Those work pretty well other than the left earbud always stays connected to my phone for some reason no matter what I do. And then the right one just dies in the case. But hey whatever they sound great when they work.
r/pixel_phones • View on Reddit →My gen 1 pixel buds lasted me about 3 years, and were still going strong right up until I fell asleep with one in and my dog got a hold of it and chewed it to bits! My wife surprised me with the pixel buds pro 2 for my birthday and they do seem really good so far. Hard to get a read on battery life as I tend to only use them a few hours at a time but certainly no complaints so far.
r/pixelbuds • View on Reddit →Download the app Wavelet and set it to auto eq, select the pixel buds pro 2 profile and enjoy the best sounding ear buds on the market
r/pixelbuds • View on Reddit →I have the Pixel Buds Pro. I was tempted to upgrade to the Buds Pro 2 when they came out, but there weren't enough differences to justify it.
r/GooglePixel • View on Reddit →They can be worth it if you value them. IMO, I can't trust anything less than $100 USD. I've bought a few pairs to try to convince me otherwise but end up going back to my expensive earbuds. The lowest pair I own are the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, JBL Tour Pro 3, Apple Airpods Pro 2, Google Pixel Buds Pro, and Soundscore Liberty 3 Pro. My preferred earbuds are the Bose Quietcomfort Ultra and Sony WF-1000XM5. I want to try more expensive earbuds, but at that point, over the ear are better.
r/Earbuds • View on Reddit →Would be interesting (to me at least) how that chart is based on usage ie from my dozen different buds , for phone calls I'd place my Samsung buds 3 pro at the top followed by Huawei buds (I don't recall if I have the 2s or 3s lol). For music my Technics az100 would come out on top. For working out my pixel buds pro are my pick.
r/Earbuds • View on Reddit →Mine didnt even last 1.5 months. Now one bud just beeping loud for no reason
r/pixelbuds • View on Reddit →I use Pixel Buds Pro 2 for Mac and my Pixel. They connect to both devices and at any time I play anything on them they work well. I recommend them. I also have a Sony headphones, I can recall the model, but pairing is not easy
r/GooglePixel • View on Reddit →Sennheiser momentum 3, pixel buds pro, pixel buds pro 2, Sony XM4 and listened to 5. It's impossible for them to be "terrible" because I hear nothing with them in when I did with all the others. Either you're extra sensitive or have a shit seal with them.
r/Earbuds • View on Reddit →Don't know if they are the best but I love my pixel buds pro2. All I listen to is Audio. The noise cancellation works great but I love the fit most of all. You twist them and they sorta lock in.
r/audible • View on Reddit →> Google telling me the buds 2 are 5 years old This is false. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 were released with the Pixel 9 series last year, so they are just over a year old. As for the comparison, here are the major differences: - Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) - on paper, the Pro 2 buds should have slightly better noise cancelling, but with the buds 2a not being released yet, it remains to be seen how it works in comparison. - Touch controls - you can increase/decrease the volume by swiping forward/back on the buds on the Pro 2 while you can't do that on the buds 2a. The Pro 2 will also have a couple nodding gestures coming soon that the 2a won't have either. - Battery - this is probably the biggest category of differences. The Pro 2 has longer battery life in the actual ear buds (12 hours without ANC & 8 hours with ANC vs 10 hours w/o ANC & 7 hours with ANC) and also adding in the case battery (48 hours w/o ANC & 30 hours w/ANC vs 27 hours w/o ANC & 20 hours w/ANC). The case can also be wirelessly charged on the Pro 2 while the 2a cannot. For a positive on the 2a, it will have a removable and replaceable battery that the Pro 2 doesn't. Unfortunately, the $50 off on the Pro 2 expires before the 2a will be released, which means reviews likely won't be out yet either, so all of the 2a advice is based on the paper specs and no real world knowledge, but hopefully this helps you look at what you value the most in earbuds.
r/pixel_phones • View on Reddit →Gemini 2 , Pixel Buds 2 pro, Pi8 and Bose Quiet comfort 2024.
r/Earbuds • View on Reddit →My pro 1, after 2 years of teams calls and music daily use, had seriously lost much of the battery life (can't stand 2 hours teams call... Not that my brain can do much better but... So far I have to) So I decided to do the upgrade and go for Technics AZ100, sound was disappointing and voice isolation horrible and robotic, People started joking me if I was simulating my voice with a neural model. So I returned and went for pro 2. Sound is not that bad as they say, it's just "different" after some week I can say that it's a more "educated" sound, you need to give some time to your ears to digest it, but in the end I can say that PBP 2 sounds a little better than PBP 1. Sound is richer and more detailed and bass is more gentle and again detailed, especially in vynil ripped music, I can better feel the punchy sounds without all that bass that was pumped out the 1s. If you want more bass you can play with the equalizer and get the same sound of the 1s
r/pixelbuds • View on Reddit →I have the Pixel Buds Pro 2, the original Pixel Buds Pro, AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Max, and Sony WF1000XM4s. The best phone call device I have though is the Ray Ban Metas. They are incredible.
r/GooglePixel • View on Reddit →Love my OG Pixel Buds Pro, which I believe check all the boxes. I've been particularly impressed with the mics. Excellent clarity even when I'm taking a call by a busy street.
r/GooglePixel • View on Reddit →That's what i am talking also! The more i listen buds 2 pro, some magic happens ??
r/GooglePixel • View on Reddit →I had the Pro 1s and they worked great except for the fact that my ears would constantly push them out and they would fall out after ~30 minutes of use. I also felt like ANC wasn't as good as it could've been. I got the Pro 2s when they were on sale and I've been loving them. They stay in my ears without issue and the sound quality is nearly identical (to my ears). ANC and transparency mode are also incredible with these buds. However, when I'm watching any streaming, like prime video, sometimes the audio cuts out every few seconds which is insanely irritating, but it doesn't happen constantly so I'm looking the other way.
r/pixelbuds • View on Reddit →Just bought some yesterday, instant return. I'm also having that sound direction problem, it sounds like spatial audio is permanently on even though I've turned it off. Like the direction of the music keeps going left and right randomly. The tap controls don't work at all, tap, double tap, triple tap. Nothing happens. Weirdest problems I've ever had from earbuds. All of these are almost certainly from a bad firmware update which is like the story of every wireless earbud ever. Why is it so difficult to not push out a firmware update that breaks it? Every company does it.
r/GooglePixel • View on Reddit →I'm in a similar boat, I have original pros but the battery in the left one lasts maybe an hour at this point. The pro 2s would be a no brainer but I'm seeing so many people saying they're on their 2nd or third pair because of a fundamental design flaw, which concerns me.
r/pixelbuds • View on Reddit →If you'd consider earbuds, can highly recommend the Pixel Buds Pro 2. I find them much more comfortable than wearing over-ear headphones while lifting. They're also the only earbuds that actually stay in for me lol
r/Deathcore • View on Reddit →They're pretty comfortable on flights, though I do alternate between them and my QC35s. The longest flight I've used them for was roughly 5 hours. The noise cancellation is a smidge worse compared to my Airpods Pro 2, but not enough for me to stop using them.
r/GooglePixel • View on Reddit →At the end of the day, it's about what you want. If you can really dial in what you want, it actually becomes slightly easier to pay less, I feel. Because then you can decide whether you want good feeling buds that sound ass or great sounding buds that work kinda shitty, or a compromise between it all. And if you want everything perfect, you have to pay for it... and even then, there's no guarantees. Nothing is perfect, and you'll have problems with something, even if it's small. I've owned three pairs of buds... The Pixel Buds Pro, CMF Buds Pro 2, and very recently Moondrop Golden Ages 2. Here are my thoughts: The less you pay, the more interesting the game of compromise gets. For £100 to £150, you get the Pixel Buds Pro's features, good build and good sound (although they did annoy me the most). For £59, less on sale, you can get the CMF Buds Pro 2, with similar build quality but less premium feel, less responsive controls, and comparable sound. For £90, you can get the Golden Ages 2, with cheap-feeling build quality, okay controls, and some kickass planar drivers. All of these go on sale now and again, so prices can drop, and it is worth mentioning that the GA2 come with a leather sheath for the buds, but I'm guessing that's to protect the slightly weaker case... still, nice they included it.
r/Earbuds • View on Reddit →I have upgraded to the Buds Pro 2, but loved the OG Buds Pro. I use the Bose NC700 at my desk and love that too
r/GooglePixel • View on Reddit →If you are prioritising comfort, I just try out the Google pixel buds 2 pro. They have decent enough sound and great comfort
r/Earbuds • View on Reddit →Bought these because my right ear which was operated on when I was very young never really had a good ear canal for in-ear type earbuds, which made me return the Pixel buds pro The Ear Open is literally a "forget you're wearing it" kind of audio device
r/NothingTech • View on Reddit →This is what I use. And also having transparent mode let's me hear what's going on in the real world when I need to.
r/audible • View on Reddit →I'd go with Buds 2 Pro, but I don't plan to lose my FEs.
r/Earbuds • View on Reddit →I just got mine a few days ago, coming straight from the PBPs and the ANC of the PBP2s mid-higher frequency sounds is terrible. I'm hoping this can be fixed soon with a software update but in my opinion is way worse than the original PBP. I have tried all the ear tips and too so I don't think it's a fit issue. In all other ways it is performing better than the PBPs but god I wish the ANC was just the same if not better than the originals. I usually wear them when trying to drown other people out in the office and conversations just flow right through.
r/pixelbuds • View on Reddit →I liked the originals more so far but to be clear, I only got my 2s in the mail last night. So far, the fit is better on the 2s, the audio quality is better on the 1s. 1s are heavier on the bass, 2s are light on the bass (even at max) with a clearer sound.
r/pixelbuds • View on Reddit →I honestly couldn't tell you they sound worse than the Pixel buds pro, the major difference in sound is the fact that they're open and not sealed like the Google ones, but even so, I only really use them at half volume and it's plenty enough and with a surprising amount of bass and detail on something that isn't in ear Noise leak on the table playing, yes, but in someone's ear barely audible, you can definitely not make words out or anything like that
