"No connectivity issues either, pair to my phone and deck at the same time so I don't have to faf with that"
"The pixel pro buds just work better by easily switching back and forth between your computer and phone to take calls."
"I have them paired to my Android phone, Android tablet and the Windows computer for work. They don't connect to all 3 at once, but I can easily swap between them as needed."

"The reduction is much better on the pros. ... if you put the noise reduction with your music in addition you will hear nothing. ... Sunday I'm waiting for my daughter's show and there was a run right next door. The guy had his speaker and broke everyone's ears... With my pro Puds I heard it slightly, but with the music it was perfect"
"I've used them on planes and it's almost like I'm not on a plane, they block out sound pretty well"
"Even for first gen the ANC is really good."

"my right ear which was operated on when I was very young never really had a good ear canal for in-ear type earbuds, which made me return the Pixel buds pro"
"the shape of them causes them to slide out my ears. ... And they are hard to get in my ears and so so easy to take out. ... Oh for me it's just the poor shape causing it to slide out my ears ... My issue is that we'll I can't wear them The shape doesn't fit in my ear so welp ig I'm waiting for the 2a."
"the pixel buds pro feel like I'm stuffing Brazil nuts in my ears."

"I have original pros but the battery in the left one lasts maybe an hour at this point."
"My pro 1, after 2 years of teams calls and music daily use, had seriously lost much of the battery life (can't stand 2 hours teams call... Not that my brain can do much better but... So far I have to)"
"The batteries doesnt last all day anymore"
1nolefan 0.2Pro 2 fits a lot better - I have both and I stopped using 1st Gen pro.
AlbexTwin 0.2My pro 1, after 2 years of teams calls and music daily use, had seriously lost much of the battery life (can't stand 2 hours teams call... Not that my brain can do much better but... So far I have to) So I decided to do the upgrade and go for Technics AZ100, sound was disappointing and voice isolation horrible and robotic, People started joking me if I was simulating my voice with a neural model. So I returned and went for pro 2. Sound is not that bad as they say, it's just "different" after some week I can say that it's a more "educated" sound, you need to give some time to your ears to digest it, but in the end I can say that PBP 2 sounds a little better than PBP 1. Sound is richer and more detailed and bass is more gentle and again detailed, especially in vynil ripped music, I can better feel the punchy sounds without all that bass that was pumped out the 1s. If you want more bass you can play with the equalizer and get the same sound of the 1s
AveChristusRexxx 0.2I have both the airpods pro 1 and pixel pro buds 1, the airpods are way better at noise cancelling and sound by a lot. The pixel pro buds just work better by easily switching back and forth between your computer and phone to take calls. The airpods don't switch back and forth and they just work better on the apple ecosystem. With that being said, if your house is that loud you will still hear some sound with both, unless you're playing music. I normally play rain sounds to mask the bit of noise that you can still hear. But if you want truly bouse cancelling headphones then go with the air pods max (I know you asked for buds)
cjkgt97 0.2Google Pro Buds. I liked the 1 and love the 2.
lastknownbuffalo 0.2My left pro 1 fell out of my ear into the sink and died. I got the pro 2 and they're awesome. Definitely fit better than the pro 1. The sound is great as a layman, obviously not as... Uhh awesome as over ear headphones. Still I've been loving the pro 2s
Mayor18 0.2I've tried Google Pixel Buds Pro (1st gen) and now I have Nothing Ear(3). Nothing is way more comfortable, ANC is not that good comparing with Pixel Buds, but comfort, way better.
ralcantara79 0.2I have both the A and the first gen Buds Pro. The A I use for exercise and other sweat activities like mowing. They are comfortable and depending on the size of eartip they can do a good job of noise isolation. For everything else I use the Buds Pro. Even for first gen the ANC is really good. And I rarely leave home without them. I will say that I was very intrigued with the new Buds 2 design because of the new wing tip for stability, but with my current ones going strong I'm not in a hurry to upgrade. Having said that I will absolutely be getting the Buds 2 when the time is right.
sergeant-octopus 0.2If you can pick up the first gen pixel buds pro pretty cheap I would go them. There are still some retailers in Australia selling them around $150 which is absolute steal. The pixel buds pro 2 I am sure are amazing but gen 1 are great and would highly recommend.
shasherazii 0.2get pixel buds pro 1st generation (used). i recently got them for 15k and im loving it
BlueCactusChili 0.2No, that's the trade-off. I wear Shokz to maintain situational awareness of my surroundings (cars, animals, etc.). I've used the Pixel Buds' transparency mode, but I'm not a fan because they've slipped out on occasion.
