Achieve Near-Flawless Success: The Missing Piece to Reaching perfection
Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 Review: The Ultimate Earbuds
The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, with a major focus on comfort and sound quality. Two years after the release of the original Pixel Buds Pro, Google has listened to its users and made some notable changes to the design and features. In this review, we’ll dive into what’s new and improved on the Pixel Buds Pro 2.
A Revolutionary Fit
One of the most significant upgrades is the revised fit. Google claims that the Pixel Buds Pro 2 is extremely snug in your ears, and we couldn’t agree more. The new twist-to-adjust stabilizer works wonders, providing a secure and comfortable fit that’s perfect for extended use.
Pros and Cons
Here are some of the key pros and cons to consider:
Pros:
• Massively reduced size and weight
• Extremely comfortable fit
• Highly intuitive onboard controls
• Excellent bass
• Powerful noise canceling
• Decent battery life
Cons:
• Pricey
• Gemini integration is underwhelming
Gemini AI: A Disappointing Experience
One of the biggest features touted by Google is the Gemini AI integration. Unfortunately, it falls short of expectations. You’re required to manually trigger the buds every time you want to interact with them, which can get tiresome. The Gemini integration is marketed as "hands-free," but it’s not entirely accurate.
Battery Life and Durability
The Pixel Buds Pro 2 boasts impressive battery life, with 12 or eight hours of use with ANC on or off, respectively. The charging case extends that to 48 and 30 hours. Additionally, the earbuds themselves have an IP54 rating, while the charging case has an IPX4 rating, offering good water resistance.
Verdict
In conclusion, the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 is an excellent choice for anyone looking for high-quality earbuds. While the Gemini integration falls short, the comfortable fit, powerful noise canceling, and excellent sound quality make up for it. The price may be steep for some, but if you’re willing to overlook that, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 is well worth the investment.
