Comfort and Fit

Google understands that comfort is paramount when it comes to earbuds. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are the culmination of extensive research and development, utilizing data from a staggering 45 million ear scans to achieve an optimal shape that fits snugly and securely in a wide range of ears. The integration of, for the first time ever, the Tensor A1 chip has enabled a 27% reduction in size and a lighter build, ensuring that these earbuds remain comfortable even during extended listening sessions. The addition of a twist-to-adjust stabilizer further enhances the fit, allowing for a personalized and secure fit whether you're working out or simply relaxing.

Industry-Leading Noise Cancellation

The Pixel Buds Pro 2 take noise cancellation to new heights with Silent Seal™ 2.0. This advanced technology adapts to your environment an astonishing 3 million times per second, effectively canceling up to twice as much noise as its predecessor. The expanded frequency range ensures that even high-pitched sounds are blocked, creating a serene and immersive listening experience. Whether you're commuting on a noisy train or working in a bustling cafe, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 will transport you to a world of your own.

Immersive Sound Quality

Prepare to be captivated by the audio fidelity of the Pixel Buds Pro 2. Equipped with large 11 mm drivers, these earbuds deliver rich, powerful bass that will make your music come alive. A new high-frequency chamber ensures that treble frequencies are reproduced with clarity and precision. The Tensor A1 chip's multi-path processing adds an additional layer of sophistication, bypassing noise cancellation processing to deliver pure, unaltered sound directly to your ears. Whether you're listening to your favorite playlist or watching a movie, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 will provide an audio experience that is both immersive and detailed.

Crystal-Clear Calls, Even in Noisy Environments

Clear Calling on the Pixel Buds Pro 2 sets a new standard for call quality. By intelligently reducing background noise on the other end of the call, your voice will be heard with exceptional clarity, even in challenging environments. Whether you're in a crowded street or a windy park, your conversations will be uninterrupted and crystal clear.

The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are designed to work seamlessly with your Pixel phone, tablet, and watch, enhancing your productivity and entertainment.

And Of Course, Gemini AI

The Pixel Buds Pro 2 aren't just the next generation of earbuds; they're the first earbuds built for the Gemini era. Google continues to push the boundaries of what's possible with AI, and these earbuds are right there at the forefront. With Gemini Live integration, you can engage in back-and-forth conversations that feel remarkably natural, even when your phone is locked and tucked away in your pocket. This level of seamless interaction with AI is a glimpse into the future of ambient computing, where technology fades into the background and empowers you to stay connected and informed without interrupting your flow.

With an impressive 8 hours of battery life with ANC enabled and a total of 30 hours with the charging case, you can enjoy uninterrupted listening throughout your day. The earbuds will be available in a range of stylish colors to suit your personal taste, including Porcelain, Hazel, Wintergreen, and Peony. And with a price tag of $229, they offer a compelling combination of premium features and affordability.
