Google recently hosted its “Made by Google” launch event where it unveiled the new Pixel 9 series smartphone lineup and the Pixel Watch 3. Along with these devices, the brand has also launched the Pixel Buds Pro 2.
Pixel Buds Pro 2 specs & features:
Google has focused on user comfort with the Pixel Buds Pro 2, as it has added a twist-to-adjust stabilizer to the earbuds, which has been developed using scans of 45 million ears. Not only that but they also reduced its size by 27% and also making it 25% lighter than the previous generation.
The Pixel Buds Pro 2 features Google’s Tensor A1 chip, which supports enhanced audio capabilities, including spatial audio with head tracking. The earbuds are equipped with custom 11mm drivers designed to deliver deeper bass and a high-frequency chamber for smoother treble. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) has been upgraded with Silent Seal 2.0, offering a significant improvement in noise reduction compared to the previous model.
The earbuds also have the Gemini AI assistant, which enables hands-free access to directions, reminders, music recommendations, and Gemini Live.
Additional features include Clear Calling for improved call quality in noisy environments, Conversation Detection that automatically adjusts ANC during conversations and a customizable 5-band EQ. The earbuds have an IP54 rating for water and sweat resistance, while the case is rated IPX4.
The battery life is up to 8 hours with ANC enabled, and the charging case extends this to 30 hours. A quick 15-minute charge can provide up to three hours of additional listening time. The earbuds are compatible with both USB-C and Qi wireless charging.
All improvements compared last generation:
As mentioned above, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 offer several improvements over the original model. They are smaller, lighter, and have a more secure fit thanks to the stabilizer and various ear tip sizes. The noise cancellation is also said to be significantly better, with Google claiming a 2x improvement. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 also boast a Tensor A1 chip, which is likely to improve sound quality and overall performance.
