MASSIVELY UPDATED! Google Pixel Buds Pro (VS THE BEST)

[@rustyposton667]

I just pulled the trigger on the Pixel Buds Pro, thanks for the great review, helped to make my decision.

[@janetwoodville3643]

The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are coming out. They'll have a little wing that when you turn it in as you put it in your ear it'll stay in better.

[@rustyposton667]

@@janetwoodville3643 that would be helpful. I love mine but they aren't as secure when I move around as I'd like them to be.

[@adampatterson]

Multipoint from my Mac Book Pro to my phone is amazing, and then the auto switch to my Google TV was also very nice to have.

[@XP9724]

These are my main daily buds. The battery life, design, and sound really won me over. The constant updates are great too, the EQ and Conversation Detection features are my favorite additions and really came in useful. Shout out to Google for finally getting it right as their 2 previous flagship models always missed the mark.

[@toddferguson3783]

Excellent video! Really informative and the spreadsheet is super helpful 👍

[@pickyaudio]

Cheers Todd!

[@RobertNES816]

The fitment is the biggest issue I have with the original Galaxy buds pro. I love how comfortable they are and I like everything about them, but the buds just don't stay in my ears that well. Just talking makes them come loose. They really needed a wing tip design or something.

[@pickyaudio]

Yep I'm all for a wing tip option on any earbud. Especially buds without a stem

[@creole75]

Earhook buds are the best. Imagine pixel buds with ear hooks 🤔

[@burnthrust]

No​@@creole75

[@mattstone8878]

​@@pickyaudioDICKY AUDIO 🍆 😅

[@ProBoltForever456]

Speaking of wing tips, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are going to have a wing tip.

[@audioadhd]

I got a pair and returned them due to the caller having problems hearing me, then decided to give them a second chance after your review. I could not believe the sound quality as I wasn't expecting much, but the transparency is insane. I never need to take them out, but theY do fall out when I get sweaty at work or cutting grass. I'm excited about the Pro 2 coming out.

[@lltechview]

I don't like the default sound profile on them at all. Needed to adjust it to be acceptable. Never could get the highs to work in a pleasing way. I switched to the FreeBuds Pro 3 which have the best default sound quality close up are the Honor Earbuds 3 Pro and the Moondrop Space Travel that are my choice for best affordable. Love your spreadsheet idea with ranking. I added a website for that (though smartphone cameras not TWS). Maybe I will "steal" this idea.

[@Amadeus_]

Yeah. I got the Pixel Buds Pro to pair with my Pixel 8 Pro and absolutely hated the sound. Very disappointing for the price. Got rid of them very quickly. Now I'm on the market for another pair. The new Nothing Ear looks intriguing. But I might just got a pair of cans again instead.

[@lltechview]

@@Amadeus_ Nothing Ear sound way better just looking at the default sound graph. But I did not test them yet.

[@burhanbudak6041]

3:50 wrong, thr Buds support SBC, AAC and Opus. Opus is the adaptive low latency HD codec.

[@JustAFatGuyInTX]

I do have these along with a Pixel 8 and the latency is vastly improved, but it looks to be gatekept for Pixel devices as my Tab S9 still has some bad audio latency when playing COD Mobile. Which is a bummer as I do like these but hate that companies lock features unless you have a certain device.

[@zakisonic]

Very detailed video with rich information, Thanks’ Still can’t see Marshall motif ANC II in your videos comparison, I have the first version (quite good) but I can’t measure the new improvements vs the other earbuds in the market Hope will see it soon Thanks’

[@linko994]

Appreciate all the work that went into this review and the spreadsheets. Still not 100% decided between Pixel Buds Pro and WF-1000XM5

[@dustinbrearton9620]

Thanks for the video. I have the Bose ultra qc. Love the noise cancelation on them was wondering if these compared and it seems they don't. Nice job.

[@pickyaudio]

No worries, yea still solid ANC on the pixel buds but QC ultra is on another level

[@notsam498]

A couple notes, these support opus as well as aac and sbc, they also DO have skin detection.

[@chrislaw9574]

Love the videos. How about best waterproof earbuds for those of us living in rainy climates or taking part in adventure sports?

[@rafaelchiara]

Tozo! I have 2 and i take shower/Go to cachoeira with them, and they are just perfect

[@__sus09]

Do you think moving from soundcore Liberty 3 pros to these is worth It? The Main issue is battery life, at work they only last 3 hours straight

[@pickyaudio]

Yea in that case it will be a better option

[@MrChadLedford]

I love the channel and the format! Extremely clear and informative.

[@cleo4548]

Thank you for the review. Im mainly commenting for your algorithm

[@pickyaudio]

Cheers, I appreciate it 🙌

[@_-Z-]

Thank you for another great comparison, Picky! 👍

[@pickyaudio]

No worries!

[@peterklapko3182]

I agree with you tuning of the buds are important but also the codecs and their sample rate and bit rate is important as well if a person is perceptive and not musically deaf ..note : mostly the people who claim that the codec via bluetooth streaming doesn't matter are iPhone users who don't even have a choice and are referred to aac 🤷

[@probotnemesis]

For $148 at Officeworks, these buds were a steal! Thanks for the video!

[@98Hogsmeade]

Amazing video, truly helped me (a data fiend) figure out what to buy.

[@pickyaudio]

Awesome to hear! 😊

[@JustAFatGuyInTX]

I'll also add that I found some tips that help fit. (Not SpinFit or memory foam) It's the Diofit tips meant for the Beats Studio Plus. They have a flanged tip that fit in my ear and the case rather nicely. I also like that they're silicon so they'll last much longer than memory foam.

[@hichamboukhatem7127]

I am earbuds enthusiast as musician and music lover, best experience I got on Soundcore and Pixel Buds Pro

[@alecksgates]

The buds support Opus which is one of the most versatile audio codecs out there.

[@SJF15]

As of February 24 there is a ear fit test.

[@zeque0192]

Me too😂😂😂

[@tenzoemury1714]

The ear detection is great on mine.

[@KianFloppa]

#TeamPixel !

[@macusermdm]

I loved my buds, but they broke twice within a year. The first set lasted a month. The replacement set lasted about 8 months. Because of that, I switched to the Samsung earbuds. Hopefully they're more durable because I like the Google ones a little better.

[@IceMaverick1986]

I have extreme sound sensitivity and my partner has a verrrryyyy chatty cat.. meows for hours for no reason (yes he's been to the vet) not to mention new neighbors moved in and they love to blast rap music.. I am often on calls (Discord and Phone) and I do listen to music, which ear buds would suit me for my purposes? The only thing is that I never get a good seal/fit for buds, they always fall out, I don't know why. I really need to make a decision because my sound sensitivity has been giving me anxiety attacks.

[@pickyaudio]

The Sony WFXM5 might work the best as the tips are hybrid memory foam so if you struggle with a fit over time they will improve. The ANC is great with higher frequencies as well

[@IceMaverick1986]

@@pickyaudio Thank you so much for replying to me. If they work, you have saved my ears and stopped me from having overstimulation fits (Autism) :)

[@staspanchenko3070]

Any videos about jbl tour pro 2? Using galaxy buds pro 2 and want to switch in something else , coz i don't like the mic quality, especially in voice messages

[@7budfox]

thanks for this. Can you hear your own voice while on a call? I really need this feature. I see they dont'have side tone but something called transparency is that right?

[@shethsa]

Fantastic video! I'm about to buy the pixel buds pro after already owning the airpods pro 2 (can't wear them for more than an hour because of pain) and the jabra elite 10s (poor transparency mode as my own voice sounds too muffled). So my qs is on whether my own voice will sound closer to the airpods pro 2 transparency mode than the jabra elite 10s? That'll help me to make a purchase decision as I do quite a bit of calling. And thanks for the excellent spreadsheet!

[@pickyaudio]

Thank you! Yep the pixel buds are better than the jabra elite 10 with the clarity of your own voice/occlusion. Not quite on the level of AirPods but pretty close.

[@shethsa]

Thanks! I've placed my order! 🤞

[@shethsa]

@@pickyaudio Hi. I've been hearing good things about the Sony linkbuds S. Would you have a ranking for them? I'm evaluating them vs the pixel buds pro

[@shethsa]

Spot on ​@pickyaudio. Got mine today and the occlusion is just like you said. My own voice is quite audible and not muffled vs the jabra elite 10s but not as good as the airpods pro 2. However, in every other way they're equal or better then the airpods. I was tempted for a while to get the Sony linkbuds S but no longer. Let us know how it goes with the oneplus buds 3. Cheers!

[@psahd92]

​@@shethsaDid you make a decision? Call quality is a priority to me. Linkbuds S or Pixel buds Pro?

[@tenseknees]

Awesomely detailed review. Moondrop chu 2 review next?

[@jasonMB999]

Hi res codec shouldn't boost the rating of an earbud by much. Good earbuds sound good without any high res

[@pickyaudio]

I agree with you. Not everyone does though, that’s why I made a custom spreadsheet 🕺

[@alvinamana1459]

Actually very wrong. Codec are part of what helps make them better. You don't make any sense to say this while the hardware does its portion to deliver sound the codec help you hear everything and keep the quality the best way it can so you aren't listening to a bunch of noise at once vs listening to everything in the song going on and actually hearing how everything comes together. Spatial audio an immersion shouldn't count for sound quality but Bluetooth codec def play a big roll. Only people who think that way have no idea how earbuds work or stick with Apple and they don't like the quality of music they just want a flat sound.

[@pickyaudio]

The codec only makes a small difference to the sound quality.

[@lukas______]

You cannot mute yourself in meetings or phone calls via touch controls on the earbuds... Ultra lame especially with the name 'Pro' in the title. Not sure if I want to keep my Jabra Elite 7s for that feature or keep these Pixel buds that match the rest of my Google stuff

[@yokai8570]

would you recommend the Sony WFXM5 over the Pixel buds pro? i have the Pixel 7 pro and want the best earbuds for call quality and overall day to day lifestyle. thank you in advance

[@pickyaudio]

Yea pixel buds are the way to go then

[@ZotmundSzele]

How to tell if the buds have pressure release/relief funcktion? Is that a small physical hole like on the AirPods Pro 2? Does it really make a difference?

[@pickyaudio]

Yea it will usually be advertised and looks like a small whole or opening. It does make a bit of a difference

[@user-vc8yp4dh2n]

great review and thankyou!, i would like you to review this one particular TWS called Redmagic DAO cyberbuds and tell us about your opinion on it if possible, Thanks!

[@notmedude]

Can I enjoy all the Pixel bud features on an iPhone. Say I have an older Android phone, do all the setting up there and then pair it to my iPhone. Will I have all the features available still? Thank you

[@pickyaudio]

Yea as long as you can download the pixel buds app. I originally used them on my galaxy s10e and I got all the features then used it on my iPhone 15 pro. The only thing that doesn’t carry over is the always on Google assistant

[@teodorkristensen6403]

In the beginning people we really complaining about the transparency being really bad. Has that just gotten better with software since it now scores high?

[@andreytsoy44]

I just got mines and I'm pretty impressed, i never had ear buds with transparency mode tho, so can't compare to other onces

[@crudo1991]

I'm using a Redmagic 8 pro titanium, and I just ordered these buds in the colour fog. I hope they good. I have the DAO TWS earbuds from redmagic as well but the right one gave up life after 3 months and tbh the navigation and connectivity was bad. I got the money refunded for them in full tho...

I absolutely hate using my Pixels for anything other than sitting in one place. Even if Im doing light yard work they start coming out. Then I end up constantly hitting controls because I have to try and get them back in. And I guess maybe I was spoiled on my Sonys because wind noise, and ANC in general, isnt that great.

No. It's not. If my phone is on silent, it means I don't want the outside world to hear my phone ring. If I'm wearing my ear buds whilst the phone is on silent, it should notify me in my ear someone is calling without disturbing anyone else. Do you understand?

Again, if you are using earbuds and connected to Bluetooth, the outside world wouldn't hear your phone ring. If you put it to silent, you won't hear it. It's the same with any kind of Bluetooth device.
