All right, I'm thrilled to share our final product today, the new Pixel Buds Pro 2. Our first generation Pixel Buds Pro have been wildly popular, and they're still some of the best-reviewed premium earbuds in the world. Pixel Buds Pro 2 improves on them in every way.

The latest firmware update adds Adaptive Audio to help you keep tabs on your surroundings, even as you're listening to music, podcasts, and audiobooks. Plus, loud noise protection will automatically reduce the volume in your earbuds to protect your hearing. So, a "nearby fire truck's loud siren won't blare in your ears at maximum volume," Google says").

Denoted as the “Best Earbuds for Android” in our Best Wireless Earbuds guide , the Pixel Buds Pro 2 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) are wonderfully small and compact, with a fun, egg-shaped case that has a lovely matte texture. They pair well with Android devices, have wireless charging, and include excellent noise-cancelling.

They're packed with some seriously cool features. Let's check them out. To start, we have the Pro 2. These are designed to be super comfortable. Google used 45 million data points from different ears to shape these. Yeah, I know. That's a lot of ears. They've got active noise cancellation powered by something called Silent Seal 2.0.

Actually surprised with how well these features work.

The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are tough to beat.

C CNET Kaylyn McKenna · reviewer · Feb 2026

The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are among the best wireless earbuds available right now, and are our top pick for Android users. That makes this price all the more impressive, and that’s before we get into the list of premium features on offer.

So these are the Pixel Buds Pro 2, and these are the most convenient premium ANC earbuds for any Android user, period.

C CNET Aashna Gheewalla · reviewer · Aug 2026

According to CNET headphone expert David Carnoy , “These buds deliver excellent sound, strong noise‑muffling capabilities and a robust feature set, particularly for Android and Google Pixel phone users.

I found they felt far less fat and bulky in my ears, making them extremely comfortable. The smaller size does make them perhaps a little fiddlier to grip and place, but you should get used to this fairly quickly.

Thanks to their incredibly lightweight design, comfortable fit and superb audio quality, these puppies are ideal for music lovers. Keep in mind that the promo is only available on the model in Peony.

Best Comeback! - Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 Review!

A Android Police Andy Boxall · reviewer · Jul 2026

The enabler for my increased use has been the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2, which transforms the AI feature from being moderately interesting to truly useful.

They now pack real ANC and AI smarts. But that's not all, obviously.

Z ZDNET Jack Wallen · reviewer · Feb 2026

I would go so far as to say that these earbuds are better than my prized Dennon PearL Pro earbuds .

Google’s latest flagship earbud, is their best yet.

The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 are one of our favorite pairs of earbuds for a number of reasons.

These fit very nicely in your ear and you can lay on your side.

Excellent, comfortable earbuds with great noise cancellation

These premium earbuds deliver impressive sound quality and advanced AI features, all powered by Google’s Tensor A1 chip. With exceptional Active Noise Cancellation, seamless integration with Google Assistant, and an ergonomic design, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are crafted to elevate your listening experience.

I really really like them. And I just love that moonstone color. It's just gorgeous. And we have the two charging contacts on the bottom of it. And we got this twist to fit thing over here.

T Top 5 Tech Giant Top 5 Tech Giant · 249 subscribers · Aug 2026

The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are positioned as a premium option, so they are best suited to buyers who want more than a basic pair of wireless earbuds and prefer a product that combines a polished design with the convenience of modern Bluetooth listening. The Moonstone color is also worth considering for anyone who wants an understated alternative to more traditional earbud finishes.

F Future Circuit Future Circuit · 57 subscribers · Jun 2026

you'll understand why so many people are calling them one of the best AI‑powered earbuds available right now.

I love mine, use them daily, haven't had a problem out of them. But you're also going to get responses saying theirs don't fit their ears (fit mine best any earbud ever has!), problems with ANC (no problems here), problems with mics (mics work great for me), problems with mesh getting clogged/dirty (I monitor and clean mine), problems with "sounding clogged" (likely mesh issues).

B Becca Farsace Becca Farsace · 208K subscribers · Nov 2024

While these buds are undoubtedly the best wireless earbuds the company has ever made, they still need to improve in the ANC and microphone departments.

S Subscribers Max Buondonno · reviewer · Oct 2025

Google’s own Pixel Buds Pro 2 are a great companion for Android smartphones, especially Pixels. The buds offer deep ecosystem integration, similar to how AirPods work seamlessly with all of Apple’s other products. You get Gemini Live support for having back-and-forth conversations with the assistant, live translations, multi-device connectivity, and more.

But, obviously, they're not perfect and in some ways can be a tough sell.

T Thurrott.com Thurrottfeed/ · reviewer · Sept 2025

What this comes down to is your preferences and needs, and the cost: The Pixel Buds Pro 2 cost less than most premium earbuds, especially when on sale, but some offer better sound quality and ANC. And the Buds Pro 2 do offer some useful Pixel-specific features, plus the Pixel look and feel that fans of this ecosystem want.

M Mark Guim Mark Guim · 16.2K subscribers · Sept 2024

Overall: Solid choice for everyday use, with great fit, sound, and transparency mode. Not the best for running or flights, and not a significant upgrade from the original Pixel Buds Pro unless you have the budget.

S SoundGuys Adam Birney · reviewer · Dec 2025

Both microphone qualities are similar, but the Pixel Buds Pro 2 improves noise rejection in challenging environments. Thanks to wideband call support and better beamforming, the Pro 2 offers cleaner voice pickup on Pixel phones, though they still compress heavily in loud places.

T Technically Fit Technically Fit · 2K subscribers · Jun 2026

But there's one BIG reason why I don't recommend buying them at their full launch price.

S SoundGuys Christian Thomas · reviewer · Nov 2025

If you find that you have trouble with most true wireless earbuds, I think that you should probably give either the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 or the Google Pixel Buds 2a a try, as the design lends itself well to small ear canals and outer ears smaller than a car door.

A Android Police Andy Boxall · reviewer · Feb 2026

However, I don’t think the active noise cancellation is as effective as the Apple AirPods 2 Pro or the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro. It’s far more subtle, dulling the background sound rather than working hard to remove it.

The fact that Google can implement features like adaptive ANC shows that there's decent processing power in the Pixel Buds Pro 2, but I can't confirm since there isn't a way to benchmark.

R RecordingNOW.com Odi Productions · reviewer · Feb 2026

The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 is one of the most comfortable earbuds I’ve tested to date, with fairly competitive noise cancelling and sound quality to the mainstream brands.

A Android Central Article · Oct 2025

Of the two, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are unsurprisingly the better option, with crisper sound, stronger ANC, and all the features.

The smaller size does make them perhaps a little fiddlier to grip and place, but you should get used to this fairly quickly.

T TechGearLab Genaveve Bradshaw · reviewer · Nov 2025

These comfortable earbuds sound great and are our favorite option for Android users, but lack adjustability features for iOS

Spoiler alert: the experience was surprisingly close, but with a few quirks that any dedicated fan would notice.
