Very impressive and worth a try.
My newly purchased Pixel Buds Pro will be joining my ever expanding fleet of TWS, currently comprising of Bose True wireless earbuds, Sennheiser CX, Edifier NeoBuds Pro, Soundcore Liberty Air 2's, AirPods Pros, along with several cheaper units from random brands that I use as throwaways.To start things off, the fit of these is great. Although always subjective, but being on the picky side, I must admit that I was pleasantly impressed with the way these fit. After six hours of wearing them, there was no fatigue or discomfort that I experienced.Once adjusted to your liking, these tend to stay in. I took them out for an hour long run and found no issues. They stay planted and feel secure, allowing you to focus on your workout without any distractions.Connectivity wise, these were a breeze to set up. Right out of the box they paired with my Samsung Galaxy S10+. Once synced with the phone, I was prompted to download the Pixel Buds app. You will mostly use this to adjust your touch controls, set noise cancellation/ transparency mode, as well as the multipoint mode (more on that later). For now, the app lacks traditional EQ adjustment from the sound control section. This is apparently coming later this year, along with spatial sound.The multipoint mode allows you to sync the earbuds to two devices simultaneously. I had the buds paired to my phone as well as my laptop. I was able to go back and forth between the two devices without any issues. Simply pause playback on the first device, and resume playing audio on the second device. In my testing I found no issues with audio lag while watching Netflix and YouTube.The sound quality is superb. In my testing, I found these to reproduce clear sound and accurate notes across various volume levels. The highs are just right, although not as punchy as some of the other earbuds in my collection.As of this writing 7/30/22, the volume EQ feature that enhances bass and treble at low volume levels is absent in the pixel buds app on my S10+. I contacted Google, since it is something that should be available in the app. Upon a lengthy troubleshooting session, the support team agreed to escalate the issue to their development team for further review.The active noise cancellation is good. It won't drown out the entire world around you, but when music is playing I found that it did an excellent job. I will be taking these on a flight later this year and will update the review to reflect my experience as far as in-flight performance of ANC.The battery life of these is excellent! In my testing, I got just short of the seven hours of battery life that Google promised with ANC on. The quick charge worked great. In just minutes I was back to listening tunes and enjoying the buds.Transparency mode on these is adequate. I didn't think it was lacking, but did feel that perhaps things could have been a bit clearer. It is nothing worth complaining about, but perhaps slightly boosting the gain may be considered an improvement.Overall, these are wonderful. Taking into consideration the excellent sound, comfort, battery life, along with some of the more advanced features, makes it an excellent value for the asking price of $200. The obvious omission of advanced codecs, such as LDAP and aptX did not diminish my experience, at all. I found that they sounded just as clear as some of my higher end buds without any latency issues that is normally associated with AAC and SBCTLDR: If you are looking for excellent sound, comfort, ANC, and battery life, give these a try. The pixel bud pro are an excellent value with very little compromise. If LDAC and aptX is a must have, then look further, but I would encourage you to reconsider.Ver másVer menos
