Google Pixel Buds Pro – Noise Canceling Earbuds

Realmente me sorprendieron. El sonido es increíblemente bueno, tomen en cuenta que no soy un buen referente, no noto mucha diferencia en los sonidos, tras probar distintos audífonos no e notado una diferencia notable, cosa que otros si notan(Apple AirPods Pro 2a generación, SAMSUNG Galaxy Buds 2 Pro y varios de la marca Skullcandy).
Puedo decir que son los mas cómodos que he probado hasta el momento (son los que mejor se han adaptado a la forma de mi oreja), no se caen aun cuando hago ejercicio (zumba, correr y levantamiento de pesas). Tienen un buen alcance y se conectan rápidamente a mi Pixel 7a (razón principal por el que los elegí). Muy contento con mi compra.

Son muy buenos audífonos, la calidad es excelente. La cancelación de ruido es maravillosa. Si tienes un teléfono pixel, la integración es perfecta. Quizá el modo transparencia en exteriores cuando hay viento, no es eficiente, ya que se puede a sentir que no escuchas nada, o todo se escucha muy bajo a comparación de estar en un lugar cerrado, donde puedes apenas notar que tienes los audífonos. Con el tamaño correcto de almohadilla la comodidad es buena, muchos se quejan respecto a que pueden caerse, pero nunca he tenido ese problema, siempre los he sentido firmes en todo momento.

I was a little cautious purchasing these as they are expensive. I went with the pro version as it boasts a longer battery life. They will run for hours on a single charge. They stay stable in my ear. They do have several different size ear pieces to help find the right fit you you. Once you connect them to your phone, all you have to do is pull them out of the car and pop them into your ear. Super simple! The case can be wirelessly charged which makes keeping it charged super easy. I bought the black version. But they have lots of color options now. I didn’t know how they do this but they will recognize when they are in your ear or not. So if you are streaming music and one is taken out (or falls out for some reason) it stops your music automatically. I haven’t had any connectivity issues. They are extremely versatile and even allow you to use your voice commands like”hey Google, call…” Which I find very useful when driving. The nose cancelling feature is awesome whether you are trying to drown out the world or don’t want to hear the music bring played by others in the gym.

Pro tip: Noise cancelling works on wife and kids too! 🤫

Definitely would purchase these again!

This is one of those situations where a 4.5 star rating would’ve been nice. And even though I point out a lot ticky-tack issues, I’d by these again, no problem.

PROS:
– Excellent sound quality, especially for the price point and size
– Lightweight
– Premium design of both the buds and case
– Wireless charging on the case is a nice touch (especially since they kept wired charging with it)
– Excellent batter life
– Solid (if not perfect) noise cancellation
– Multi-device switching is awesome
– Single-bud use works great

CONS (and these are rather minor, but I’ll cover them in detail):
– Fit is finicky, regardless of earbud tips
– Tend to slip out/loosen fit with too much jaw/head motion
– Controls too easy to accidentally trigger
– Sometimes auto-connection fails

In General:
For true audiophiles, you’re not going to be bowled over with the ANC or sound quality, but you will be satisfied with the performance. For normal users, you’ll love the rich depth and sound quality out of such a compact and well-designed package. The tools for sound adjustment work well, and if you’re not used to ANC, you’ll find the experience very cool, if not a little disturbing in how well it isolates background noise, especially continuous din/hums. The multi-device capability is something I’ve wanted for years out of my Bluetooth devices; not just the ability to connect to multiple phones (which many devices have) but to switch between media playback on the different devices seemlessly. Add to this the wireless charging of the case and you’ve got an excellent overall package that sounds great, travels well, and ticks all the usability boxes.

Fit:
This is one of those things that’s going to change from person to person, because ears are so varied. First, it took a bit to find the right sized ear tip for each ear, going back and forth testing the sound quality and seal for ANC. Next, there was just getting used to the way the buds sit inside the ear: the body of the bud is a bit on the bulky side compared to some other earbuds, so it took a little while to grow comfortable with the feel. The light weight build however really helped here.

Exercise:
Regarding the claims of “secure fit”, well… I’m an athletic person, and I’d strongly advise against using these in training. First – and this may be a problem for some but not others – if you sweat a lot you’ll end up with sweat buildup behind the buds (in the ear), which is not a nice feeling. Second, despite the claims of a secure fit, I find that even just walking around or chewing gum they’ll tend to loosen over time. Again, could be the way my jaw/ears are shaped, but even while doing basic tasks/maintenance around the house I found they’d loosen, especially if my head changed orientation. I wouldn’t wear these training outdoors anyway (since you should hear your surroundings for safety) but even wearing them during weight training I’d find they’d loosen when moving from standing to prone positions and back again.

Another note: if you’re using Ant+ devices (HRM, power meter, cadence sensor, etc.), I found that these tend to lead to more dropouts than my other BT headsets. Not sure if it’s the stronger signal, or the multiple signals from each bud, etc., but it’s something to be aware of.

Controls:
The touch controls mean you don’t have to push them into your ear to control them, which is nice. And they do work exactly as advertised. The compact size can lead to some mis-clicks, especially when taking them in/out of the ears. The ability to program what the long-press does on one or both buds is a nice touch.

Connectivity:
For the most part, this works excellently. Once in a while, it will fail to connect to my phone automatically. However, this is no different than my other BT devices. When switching from a single bud to both buds, I’ve occasionally encountered sync/distortion issues requiring me to reconnect them. Single strength however is strong, and I’ve been able to remain connected to devices in other rooms, much further than my other BT headsets.

Call Quality:
This one is… odd. Sometimes it’s great, especially when using both buds – never had a problem when using both. When on a single bud though, I’ve had trouble with people hearing me clearly. The clarity of the other person on the line has never been a problem, however.

Overall:
This is a great “premium-features at sub-premium price” option for those that want good sound on the go.
