"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"
"has withstood the last week of winds over 70 freezing kph."
"I've used it daily for at least 10 years now, probably closer to 15 and apart from the fact you need to clean it periodically, it's still works like brand new."

"battery lasts me forever, I charge it once a week and I game every day."
"16 days battery life on my fenix. ... The other aspect I really appreciate about my fenix is the battery life. 16 days or so. With everything I have to change these days (laptops, mice, keyboards, headphones, watches, phones), I appreciate not having to worry about it too often."
"Oh, and the battery lasts days even when exercising a lot (weeks without excercise)."

"amazing, amazing, amazing ANC performance for earbuds! ... not even close in ANC performance vs these (Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024)) ... I, for ANC, prefer the approach Bose takes, blocking out pretty much all frequencies."
"Noise cancellation is solid. ... It's on the level of the Bose QC Earbuds, my previous daily driver, and actually sounds cleaner and feels better in the ear. ... Yes! I was also surprised by how good ANC is compared to the Bose buds. ... 10 ... The ANC on the PBP2 is better. ... Mine are much, much better than both my PBP1 and my Bose QCs."
"noise cancelling headphones are such a blessing for me. i've always been sensitive to noise and i get overstimulated easy when out in public. they give me silence and privacy when I need it. worth every cent!"

"it sounds fucking amazing. ... I was blown away at Best Buy. I thought this was fake somehow like there is no way this thing is producing that bass and that level. ... The speaker is phenomenal. ... At first it was almost too bass heavy; but after an hour or two of playtime it broke in and the mids came alive, without loosing any bass. ... it still sounds fucking incredible."
"DIRAC which is like Dolby sound, so the soundstage is immersive and incredible. ... I could hear the orchestra turning the pages of their music. I could hear the hair of the bow as it glided across the bridge of a violin. It was like being in the middle of a concert hall. It was a little insane for this price range. ... The music had a broader soundstage back then in the studio...they took their time. Tweak your streaming service to lossless quality too, and then close your eyes and imagine the music happening TO YOU. Music should be a whole experience, not a time killer."
"still have quality sound and bass ... With a slight adjustment in the bass on Spotify + spatial sound, the Airpods fly! The bass and quality of the Airpods almost reach the same level as the XM4!"

"The app lets you connect to two devices at once for seemless swirching and so far definitely works better than the airpods. ... I have iphone, ipad, macbook, and apple watch, plus use PC at home and work and no issues with any of my devices."
"especially since I can use the single pair on both iPhone and android simultaneously. ... after the initial connect, all you have to do is pop the ear buds in and it’s connected to both phones"
"Seamless switching between mac and Android."

"Also I would never use them for the gym because I found they were not the most secure."

"The one time it has a hiccup is when I am listening to something on pixel, then take a call on iPhone, it doesn't always auto focus back to pixel."
I use my pixel buds pros!! Mint earbuds with decent battery and anc/transparency, but the sound quality is great. No connectivity issues either, pair to my phone and deck at the same time so I don't have to faf with that
r/SteamDeck • What Earbuds do you use ->Pro 2 fits a lot better - I have both and I stopped using 1st Gen pro.
r/pixelbuds • Pixel buds pro or pro 2 ->I have Pixel buds Pro. Love them Bose Quiet Comfort- they're nice. and some cheap sound core fro. Amazon.. perfect for work
r/GooglePixel • What wireless earbuds are you using with your pixel ? ->I have the Pixel Buds Pro 2, the original Pixel Buds Pro, AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Max, and Sony WF1000XM4s. The best phone call device I have though is the Ray Ban Metas. They are incredible.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds should I use for phone calls? ->They can be worth it if you value them. IMO, I can't trust anything less than $100 USD. I've bought a few pairs to try to convince me otherwise but end up going back to my expensive earbuds. The lowest pair I own are the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, JBL Tour Pro 3, Apple Airpods Pro 2, Google Pixel Buds Pro, and Soundscore Liberty 3 Pro. My preferred earbuds are the Bose Quietcomfort Ultra and Sony WF-1000XM5. I want to try more expensive earbuds, but at that point, over the ear are better.
r/Earbuds • Are expensive earbuds worth it? ->Now this is just my experience. Unless, you bought the pixel 8 Pro on launch day, pixel buds a series, and pixel watch 2. And then for 6 months you could only use the watch and phone together or the watch and the earbuds together but not all three and not the phone and the buds. So there's that. (Multi Point) To be fair, I did wind up with the pixel buds Pro. Those work pretty well other than the left earbud always stays connected to my phone for some reason no matter what I do. And then the right one just dies in the case. But hey whatever they sound great when they work.
r/pixel_phones • Which ear buds to get? ->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) 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
r/pixelbuds • Pixel buds pro or pro 2 ->Just got the Buds Pro 2 after my Pros 1 died in the dryer. Incredibly disappointed with the audio quality but the fit is a lot better.
r/pixelbuds • Pixel buds pro or pro 2 ->I liked the originals more so far but to be clear, I only got my 2s in the mail last night. So far, the fit is better on the 2s, the audio quality is better on the 1s. 1s are heavier on the bass, 2s are light on the bass (even at max) with a clearer sound.
r/pixelbuds • Pixel buds pro or pro 2 ->I 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)
r/pixel_phones • What is the best noise cancelling earbuds? ->I'm in a similar boat, I have original pros but the battery in the left one lasts maybe an hour at this point. The pro 2s would be a no brainer but I'm seeing so many people saying they're on their 2nd or third pair because of a fundamental design flaw, which concerns me.
r/pixelbuds • Pixel buds pro or pro 2 ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
