Size don't matter 🤔 Pixel Buds Pro 2 Review vs Sony, Bose, Samsung, AirPods Pro 2

[@aaronloudnwireless]

In the sound samples section 10:16, please ignore pictures of the AirPods Pro 2 when it should have been Pixel Buds Pro 2. 😔 And Find My does ring the case speaker, but it has to be from the Find Device app and not the ‘Find Device’ feature in the Pixel Buds app. Hopefully Google will update the app to ring the case speaker. kzbin.infoWGKMOsnLrIY Check latest prices: Pixel Buds Pro 2 - amzn.to/4edQ2oH Pixel Buds Pro (Gen 1) - amzn.to/3xqS8kk AirPods Pro 2 USB-C - amzn.to/3UoeJG8 Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds - amzn.to/49TSg9K Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro - amzn.to/4fvUNLn Sony WF-1000XM5 - amzn.to/3JGI1uNAirPods Pro 2 USB-C - amzn.to/3UoeJG8

@@aaronloudnwireless lol I was wondering about that

[@ukki578]

how tf do the pixel buds pro have a better mic then buds pro 2 ?!?

[@phritza]

@tombaglee feel like we've been hearing about google tweaking their software after launch (buds and phones) for a few years now, starting with the pixel 6, since reviewers weren't happy with the camera processing

[@AstroflashYT]

No firmware

[@3liSlash]

It's like paying google 229$ and they will say okay here's your earbuds but you wont like how they work for like a month or two. I've been waiting on them but now they seem like a joke.

[@ukki578]

​@@3liSlashtrue, same for me.. its sad that in the sound samples practically all compared headphones are sounding better..

[@Triro]

Firmware. The buds pro have had what? 2 years for firmware updates? I'm sure they'll do the same for the pro 2's.

[@jasonzuniga2587]

Thanks! Been waiting weeks for this review. Tried Jabra Elite 10 (2nd Gen), but had some compatibility issues that apparently affect Pixel 7 Pros. Guess I'll give these a try.

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Thanks for the tip! Yea do give these a shot and see.

[@ТАТАРИН-й2д]

oh man! I didn't receive my buds pro 2 yet but looks like I'll be returning them. The mic is mediocre at best... Such a disappointment.

[@grindfi]

Get the gen1 pro's believe me, these earbuds are my favorite product ever, and im an electrical engineer, the sound from both the mics and speakers are amazing, the fit is something to get used to, but after a week you start to understand the fit is oriented on a great balance between comfort and sportyness, the case is a delight, and the fast pair and multi pair are amazing, it automatically switches between my watch, tablet, computer, phone, and chromecast with google tv, the battery life is so good i just keep them in all day when im at home, because the noise cancelling also cancels out that pressure feeling i get from other headphones. These buds are really something you should buy and try

[@RandoTechNerd]

They sound pretty weak too... I expected them to be my go to buds but the Samsung Galaxy buds 3 pro sound way better.. worth the little bit of size difference and they fit better with foam tips

[@dcolaizzo]

I am looking for the best microphone that exists on ear buds. Is there any ACTUALLY GOOD option out there?

[@ТАТАРИН-й2д]

​@@dcolaizzo airpods (regular version) seems like probably the best. But don't get the pros - they have shorter stems and because of that (and/or something else) the mic is much worse, especially if you have somewhat puffy cheeks

[@juustomies16]

​@@dcolaizzo Same here! Jabra elite active 8 gen2 and active 10 gen 2 have had great results in other microphone tests, but i have bad experiences about elite active 75t fitment and comfort so i think i cant take the risk with them. I got some pressure feeling and weird noises from my neck and bones when i am standing in place and moving my head 😅. Also beanie on the ears sound very bad when its rubbing the earbuds.

[@yusufSArabia]

Hi there, I’m trying to decide on a pair of wireless earbuds and need something with a really good microphone, as I work in a windy environment. I’m currently considering the Nothing Ear or OnePlus Buds 3, but I’m open to other suggestions as well. Which one would you recommend for better mic performance, especially in windy conditions? Thanks in advance!

[@siensecodm992]

Would it be possible for a Samsung Galaxy buds pro 3 vs Nothing ear(2024) video?

[@deveshroyshandilya]

The review is good enough to discern the differences between all of them, but I have a request: please provide a substantial amount of sound samples. For instance, the Samsung Buds 3 Pro was only featured once in this test, while others were featured multiple times. Please allocate a specific time for each pair of buds and play the same tracks and phases. You could also provide these samples as Google Drive attachments.

[@TransformationApplied]

I enjoy your comparisons and reviews, and I visit your channel to see if there are any improvements on the wireless earbuds. I tried multiple items and found myself sending them back as they all provide low-quality sound and low call quality. In fact, I am about to return Yealink BH71 (something similar to Plantronics Voyager 5200). It didn't work for me again. For some reason, I keep grabbing my beloved Koss KSC75x (Drop version with mic) and JBL Endurance Run 2. Wired, simple, high-quality microphones, thus call quality, and superior sound quality (especially Koss KSC75). On top of all, they are both less than $20. Yes, they lack noise canceling and related features, but they work well in 90% of the situations. Keep up the excellent work!

How do these compare with the Air pods Pro 1 as far as comfort when wearing while laying on a pillow with the side of your head? This is the single biggest issue I have with the original Pixel Buds Pro - painful to use when laying on my side in bed.

Thanks Aaron. Ihave OG pixel buds pro and airpods pro 2 (usb-c). One thing i noticed in sound samples is that when i listen to the samples using my airpods pro 2, the airpods pro 2 sample aounded superior. But when i listened the same sample using my pixel buds pro, the pixel buds pro sounded superior. Is it just me?

[@Bro-kq2xo]

Bro. I love your comparison parts. Your video surely affected my decision to buy Pixel buds pro 2. I lost the pro last month and looking to buy another. I think I'll find other brand or buy another pixel bud pro.

[@FieryWarAxe7]

Have the microphone improved

Hey Aaron, thanks for the awesome review, how is the latency while watching videos and playing games? i heard there is a significant lipsync issues and delay.

[@karonaxtra]

Can confirm mic on new buds are worse than their predecessor. Everyone says I sound muffled or too quiet. Hopefully it'll be fixed with software update, i have to talk really loud to be heard as of now. Love everything else especially the comfort and fit

[@abrahamroberts2040]

Thank you Aaron. I just picked up the Pixel Buds Pro 2 today and the noise cancellation is not as good for me as Airpods pro 2 (with Comply foam tips), Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra or Sony Xm5. I won't return them just yet - I'll wait to see if they improve with any firmware updates in the next few weeks. The volume works great and they pair very well with the Pixel 9 pro Fold.

[@kingtaco1472]

I love my pixel buds pro 2. If your recording thats one thing if your on a phone call im not the 1 listening to the sound they are so my teating is when im on the phone with someone and nobody has given me negative feedback. I have actually thrown Bluetooth earpieces in the trash because people complain. So then next thing is the fot and the new pixel buds are fantastic IMO. I also got them for $60 with my google store discount.

[@Oddingen]

Nice to hear that these earbuds are good to sleep with for those of us who sleep on our side. That's exactly what I've been missing and spent a small fortune on buying different types to test out. None have - so far - been satisfactory. It's also nice that these have enough power to keep them running all night. For people who like white noise, a partner who snores or likes to listen to podcasts and audiobooks, these could be the answer to our dreams.

[@tspirate]

Just ran to catch a train wearing the buds pro 2! All good !

[@electricfatman]

Thanks for the excellent earbud choices to compare! I really appreciate and respect the work and your reviews.

[@Stan-s3w]

I can't find a review of Status Between 3ANC from you. Is there a reason? In my opinion, they outperform 95% of all the true wireless earbuds in terms of sound quality. They don't have many extra features and they do look like a thumb drive, but if you care about sound quality, there are none better in my opinion. In fact, they can come uncomfortably close to my B&O H95s! A thousand-dollar pair of earphones! I'd like to see your analysis and comparison. In my opinion, they are very underrated and deserve more attention. (I have no affiliation with Status of any kind. I just like them.)

My personal experience with these while having used airpods pro 2 and pixel buds pro 1 as well as sonys . The anc is best on airpods and sony but transparency is best on pixel buds pro 2. I found it to be better than airpods . Pixel buds pro 2 transparency sound is a little thin than real life but its almost as if youre not wearing it. Overall the fit is very good. Airpods hurt me. Buds pro 1 were too big and these fit better!. Overall , buy which ever you can find cheaper. And if you have pixel , just buy these . If you have samsung , buy samsung or these . If you have apple , buy airpods ez

Personally, i d rather have them improving on the hardware/performance and keeping a similar size.
