  • Useful ANC on low noise
  • Multipoint and Pixel integration
  • Light, very pocketable
  • Balanced sound with solid bass
  • Small, light and secure
  • Usable call mic

Cons

  • Upper mids pulled back, odd treble peaks
  • ANC gap in the upper frequencies
  • No wireless charging or swipe volume
  • Spatial audio only on some Pixels
  • Sound slightly muffled, lacks detail
  • ANC weak on voices and keyboards
  • Poor transparency mode
  • SoundGuysNov 2025

    A pared-back Pixel Buds Pro with decent ANC and comfort; tuning and noise cancelling are below class average. Tested US version.

  • 9to5GoogleOct 2025

    Good rather than great all-rounders; worth it on a discount, not for their ANC.

  • EngadgetOct 2025

    A capable everyday pair for Pixel owners; ANC helps, but the Pro 2 does more.

  • TechRadarDec 2025

    Google's best cheap buds so far, but rivals offer livelier sound, more features and a better fit; buy on discount.

  • Indian review calling them well-rounded, with a big jump in battery and the new ANC.
