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? ->Google Pro Buds. I liked the 1 and love the 2.
r/MicrosoftTeams • What are the best bluetooth headphones for Teams calls? ->I'm using Pixel Buds Pro 1st Gen. They work great but Noise cancellation isn't perfect. Buds Pro 2 are a good option if you want access to Google Gemini/Assistant and improvements on the pixel buds
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->Pixel Buds Pro (1st generation). If you can get it on sale (I bought it at 50% off RRP), it's excellent value for a premium TWS. Great noise cancelling, paired with great sound (as long as you apply a custom EQ - the default tuning is very bloated IMO). I wouldn't settle for cheaper options - you definitely get what you pay for, especially for noise cancelling and build quality. [Here's my custom EQ](https://i.imgur.com/Fn7dL7d.png) if you're interested in a neutral-ish tuning. Do note the 2nd generation [seems to have a much more natural tuning by default](https://www.soundguys.com/google-pixel-buds-pro-2-review-124563/#id-sound-124563), so there's probably not much need for EQ if you get the 2nd generation instead.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->I 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.
r/GooglePixel • Google Pixel buds? Thoughts? Noise cancelling, battery life, how comfortable they are! ->I love my pbp, i love the features, but hate the fit. One ear just doesn't want to take the bud properly. It's always getting loose and i tried changing the size of the earpiece but it never worked properly. I do however love the fit of my pb-a. Is the fit better on the pbp2?
r/GooglePixel • Pixel Buds Pro 2- Unbiased review from someone who's used many earbuds. ->If 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.
r/GooglePixel • Bluetooth earbud recommendations? ->Been using the first Gen pixel buds pro and I love them. Only reason I'm considering the green 2 are for the longer run time. These have been fantastic for flights but they come up just short of 8 hours with anc.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->No, 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.
r/running • What earbuds do you use while running? ->If it were me, I'd wait for the buds pro 2. The buds pro having seamless pairing with the phone is just so nice for every day usage. I currently use the original buds pro even though I also have AirPods 3rd Gen and some AirPods pro, partly due to the better connectivity and partly due to how good they are at phone calls. Seriously, I can be riding my bike at 20mph+ and people hear me fine on the buds pro where all they would get is wind noise on the AirPods. I haven't tried buds from other brands, though I do have Sony over-ear headphones (XM5), which have been amazing, so I wouldn't be opposed to trying Sony buds if it weren't for the aforementioned mic quality of the pixel buds.
r/GooglePixel • Just Got the Pixel 9 Pro XL—Wait for Pixel Buds Pro 2 or Go with Another Earbuds? ->I really like my Pixel Buds Pro, no complaints at all. I have the Pro 2 on order, excited about those.
r/GooglePixel • Just Got the Pixel 9 Pro XL—Wait for Pixel Buds Pro 2 or Go with Another Earbuds? ->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? ->I've been running with my Pixel buds pro for a couple of years, never had a problem with them
r/trailrunning • Good running earbuds? ->I have/had several earbuds with silicon or foam tips: AirPods Pro 1&2, various Galaxy Buds, Pixel Buds Pro and the Sony WF-1000XM5. Some of theses are fantastic (especially the Sony XM5). But they all fall out and bother my ear canal. I've tried different sizes tips, Comply and other 3rd party tips nothing works. I wanted higher quality sound, but the AirPods 1 and 2 are the only ones that fit, didn't fall out and bother me. I never tried the AirPods 3, I'll try the 4s and hopefully they work like generations 1/2 did.
r/airpods • If you plan on buying Airpods 4 (ANC) instead of the Airpods Pro 2? Why? Just curious. ->Bought these because 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 Ear Open is literally a "forget you're wearing it" kind of audio device
r/NothingTech • Ear (Open) are so much better than the Pixel Buds Pro in ergonomics ->I honestly couldn't tell you they sound worse than the Pixel buds pro, the major difference in sound is the fact that they're open and not sealed like the Google ones, but even so, I only really use them at half volume and it's plenty enough and with a surprising amount of bass and detail on something that isn't in ear Noise leak on the table playing, yes, but in someone's ear barely audible, you can definitely not make words out or anything like that
r/NothingTech • Ear (Open) are so much better than the Pixel Buds Pro in ergonomics ->I have some jankiness with my Buds Pro in switching between my Pixel phone and my Samsung tablet (Tab S8+). From tablet to phone is never a problem, but sometimes the phone seems to force the buds to swap back. It's really annoying, and happened both with my Pixel 7 and now my Pixel 9 Pro XL. Apparently Pixels are Bluetooth bullies. I've also had issues where the phone randomly takes over bluetooth devices that it has previously paired with when someone else is trying to play. Like it just takes over and won't let go. unless I force it to disconnect.
r/GooglePixel • Just Got the Pixel 9 Pro XL—Wait for Pixel Buds Pro 2 or Go with Another Earbuds? ->Pixel buds pro. A couple times though I was using noise cancelling and had a dog chasing me and I didn't even know.
r/beginnerrunning • Runners, what headphones are you using? ->I've used Pixel Buds Pro, since they were an option. Good fit, don't standout in a crowd, sound is great and decent ANC. They were also one of the only pairs of buds I've ever been able to lay down with and not feel like a hunk of plastic was trying to burrow into my skull. Recently upgraded to the Pixel Buds 2 Pro, finally, and its all better. Even better fit, sound is amazing for something this tiny, and ANC is much improved. They're also even smaller and stick out from the ear less, so even more comfortable to lay down with.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->I love everything about them after losing my Pixel Buds Pro without being able to actually locate them using the location process. Same issue with Apple Airpods. The sound quality is great, they feel great in ear and don't feel like they are going to fall out. I can't stand the case, I want them in my pocket but don't want to have to have cargo pants to keep them on me. I can't have a case hanging off of my belt loop, working in construction and having a 3 year old makes this a non-option. Maybe I need to embrace the fanny pack lifestyle, or grab a man-purse for my headphones?
r/Skullcandy • People who have received your Method 360 ANCs, what are your thoughts? ->Pixel Buds Pro, work great with my Google Pixel
r/onebag • What earbuds/headphones do you use? ->Google Pixel Buds Pro. I like how small they are and the case doesn't take much space. I also have a pair of wired Truthear Hexas that I carry with a dongle and they don't take much space either. if I have to use a wired connection on a long flight then it's nice to have.
r/onebag • What earbuds/headphones do you use? ->I would like to echo this opinion. I need more time, but when I fired up Tidal and said that high quality sound wasn't available on Bluetooth... I was concerned. Then I went looking for that big beautiful bass that should come from dual drivers. Not there. Messed with EQ, still didn't get great sound. Something is off. Both my Pro 2 and my Pixel Pro 2 sound better. And let's face it, the Pixel buds will auto switch between ANY Android device. That's core functionality for me
r/galaxybuds • Galaxy buds 3 pro, are they any good? ->Like my Pixel Buds Pro and Pro 2's
r/Jabra • Can anyone recommend good (non-Jabra) wireless earbuds? ->Buds Pro. They're fine for walking and the gym and sitting at a desk but do start to come loose in my ears so I wouldn't trust them for running. I have tiny ears. Sound good, nowhere near as good as my over ears XM3 though. Good ANC capabilities.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->I have the pixel buds A series and the sound quality of these buds is the best. Pixel buds pro sound is pretty much the same. It all comes down to which one is more comfortable in your ear.
r/GooglePixel • Just Got the Pixel 9 Pro XL—Wait for Pixel Buds Pro 2 or Go with Another Earbuds? ->I have used my Google Pixel Buds Pro with my ally, works great. Long battery life on these and goes over Bluetooth. Used em on a 3hr car ride the Other day and worked flawlessly
r/ROGAlly • Low Latency Wireless Earbud recommendations ->I have Pixel Buds Pro and the 2, ANC is above average and average at times. WH-M5 can't be compared to earbuds - however, WF-1000XM5 cancels out more than anything Google combined. WF-M6 is slated for release later this year.
r/Earbuds • “I'm looking for the best noise-cancelling headphones — Any recommendations?” ->**Google Pixel Buds Pro** pair perfectly with Teams. They connect to my laptop without issue and Teams sees them as just another Speaker and microphone device. Zero issues so far.
r/MicrosoftTeams • Earbuds or headphones that actually work with teams for calls ->Google Buds Pro is such a game changer for me. Using it for 2 years now
r/Tech_Philippines • High-quality earbuds reco (equal to or better than Airpods Pro2)? ->Pixel Buds Pro are still good and reliable. And they're on sale. I just purchased some for about 125.00. I love mines and use them daily. Give it a try, unless you need or want the new buds coming from Google or other manufacturers.
r/GooglePixel • Just Got the Pixel 9 Pro XL—Wait for Pixel Buds Pro 2 or Go with Another Earbuds? ->pixel buds pro. The batteries doesnt last all day anymore so I bought a nothing ear fun pro 4 but I saw bad reviews of the mic so I bought a used nothing ear A. I am waiting on them to arrive now
r/Earbuds • What’s everyone’s daily driver true wireless earbuds ->ANC on earbuds are going to be different for everyone as not all ears are the same and they rely on how well they fit in the ear to create a seal. I think if your main objective is to get earbuds with decent ANC, you'd be best to buy from a store that has a good return policy so you can at least try them out. Btw, I use the pixel buds pro almost daily but in transparency mode because I use them at work and I need to hear what's around me but I found the ANC to be pretty good, not on the level as what you'd get from some over the ear headphones but that's expected.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->I have 2 pairs of Pixel Buds A series. I love how they feel in my ears. I get overstimulated kind of easily and sometimes put them in my ears to quiet the surroundings w/o anything playing. - yes, I have 2 dif kinds of loop earplugs and I still prefer the PBs. - I bought airpods & airpod pros for work (MacBook). The airpod Pro is similar in quality to the A's IMO. The regular Airpods with no cushion annoyingly fall out of my ears. - I thought I lost my PBs and could only go for a WEEK without them. I was incredibly sad. Of course I found them after I purchased their replacement. - The PB app on the Pixel is fine. Tells you charge status, you can adjust a couple of settings. - I'm not big on noise cancelling so I didnt feel the PB Pro was worth the extra expense. Cons - If I'm in the same room as my Google home device, and I ask it to set a timer (weekly, for cooking), my Pixel phone will respond. I always, always hit "wrong device responded" on the Google Home but it doesn't fix the issue. - I wish I could adjust the volume like I can with wired earbuds, but that is a semi unrealistic expectation. - The volume sometimes doesn't go quiet enough when I'm in a quiet room. I have started using the adaptive sound setting in the PB app, and it helps a little bit. It is NOT quiet enough for me to wear them to fall asleep. I bought a Hoom band for that purpose, but not really that comfortable. Pixels: current 9; prev 6P, 2.
r/pixel_phones • Earphones ->Have you tried cleaning the contacts and resetting the buds to factory settings? I ran into a similar problem but it turned out to be a weird software bug. Resetting the buds and re-pairing to my phone fixed it. Failing that, I like the Pixel Buds Pro (which I had before the XM5s), so I would check out the newer model.
r/BuyItForLife • Need a reliable pair of earbuds that won't die on me. ->I'm a Pixel and iPhone user, but I assume iPhone and Mac will be the same experience. I use Pixel Buds Pro, they're able to jump back and forth easy enough, connecting was easy, given that it's connected to both devices I still can use my preferred controls. 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.
r/GooglePixel • Best wireless earbuds for Pixel 9 Pro and Mac ->I use my pixel buds pros. Amazing stuff.
r/Contractor • Recommend me work earbuds ->Using Pixel Buds Pro from 1.5 years. Very satisfied.
r/pixel_phones • Favorite earbuds or headphones for Pixel users? ->I have both the OG Pros and the As. The As fit much better, are much more secure in the ear, and are lighter. Def the better choice if you're using them during exercise. The sound quality is fine for things like podcasts and YouTube, and ok for music. The Pros sound much better tho. The ANC and bass are very noticeably better on the Pros. Pros are better choice if you're using them on an airplane or other noisy environment, or value a richer, deeper sound (esp for music). They are much less secure and often slip out of my ear though. Haven't tried the Pro 2s, maybe they will be the best of both worlds?
r/GooglePixel • Bought the Pixel 9 Pro - Looking for best earbuds. ->Same, I wear the older pixel A buds ones with my Germain helmet, and the shape lets the wind push them tighter into my ear canals. I got the new pro's, but they just don't feel the same and nowhere near as secure
r/Harley • Best ear buds for riding? ->I have the buds A and the pros. The reduction is much better on the pros. If you know how to put them on they are really great. A buds are also very good and will fit in the ear more easily. The latency is not terrible for both of them though.
r/GooglePixel • Google Pixel buds? Thoughts? Noise cancelling, battery life, how comfortable they are! ->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
r/GooglePixel • Google Pixel buds? Thoughts? Noise cancelling, battery life, how comfortable they are! ->I've got the Pro ones and they're pretty comfortable and the noise cancelling is pretty good. I really like the transparent mode. Used it for the week I was in Tokyo so I could hear background noise like the train announcements, traffic but still hear Google Maps give directions. I'd have them in for somewhere between 3 and 5 hours but I'd be putting them back in the case a lot so they were constantly getting recharged.
r/GooglePixel • Google Pixel buds? Thoughts? Noise cancelling, battery life, how comfortable they are! ->Surely pixel bud pros are up there, honestly better Han the xm5 sobys
r/Earbuds • I analyzed Reddit for the 20 most recommended wireless earbuds in the past year ->Earbuds really aren't BIFL, but I PUNISH my original pixel buds pro, like international travel, 12 hours used a day punish
r/BuyItForLife • Looking for bluetooth earbuds that aren't gonna crap out a month outside of warranty ->Google Pixel Buds Pro would be a good fit, though I have no idea how well the ANC works compared to Apple Airpod as this is my first ANC earphone. However, I'd used it to filter out my roommate's loud snoring to help me sleep so it's pretty good for my usage.
r/malaysians • Looking for ANC Wireless Earbuds, Budget RM600 below ->Il sibilio che senti è probabilmente un difetto hardware, potresti provare a sostituirle. Ho attualmente le Pixel Pro Buds e convivo con questo sibilio da tempo credendo fosse "normale" o semplicemente cuffie di scarsa qualità per poi scoprire che invece si tratta di qualche difetto hardware. Ho acquistato le Pixel Pro Buds 2 sperando mi arrivi un modello non difettato, ti faccio sapere tra qualche giorno
r/pixelbuds • Pixel Buds Pro 2. An unbiased review. ->I like the OG Google Pixel Buds Pro. A lot of people complain about the fit, including myself, but I picked up a set of Comply foam ear tips and it makes a whole world of difference and seems to be enough for me. I got mine on sale for Black Friday a year ago, and you can probably find them discounted nowadays as well. The Google Pixel Buds A-Series are really good as well and were some of the most comfortable earbuds I've ever worn.
r/GooglePixel • Bought the Pixel 9 Pro - Looking for best earbuds. ->I have the OG Google Pixel Buds Pro. I also used to have the Pixel Buds A-Series.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->google pro buds have a great soundstage (i think, anyway); the A series sounded very tinny to me. turning on ANC makes the sound even fuller
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->I have pixel buds pro and am considering other options because of the fit. I'm looking forward to reviews of the buds pro 2. If they don't have significantly improved fit then I'll probably try another brand. Probably Sony or Bose.
r/GooglePixel • Just Got the Pixel 9 Pro XL—Wait for Pixel Buds Pro 2 or Go with Another Earbuds? ->Can endorse this. I don't like the latest Galaxy Buds Pro's design and being first gen Google Buds Pro user, they are just amazing for the price (I got them with my phone). The sound profile (esp. the bass) can sometimes be comparable to my Sony WH910n.
r/samsunggalaxy • Earphone recommendations ->I have the P9PXL as well and have quite a few earbuds to test between, I'd suggest waiting to see if you like the Pixel Buds Pro 2. As others mentioned, I also have this set on order with the store credits received from the P9PXL purchase. That said, the P9PXL pairs well with the following headsets and earbuds in my possession: Headset | Integration | Fit | Sound | ANC | Mic :--:|:--:|:--:|:--:|:--:|:--: Google Pixel Buds Pro | Great | Bad | Good | Fair | Good Apple AirPods Pro | None | Good | Good | Great | Great Samsung Buds3 Pro | Good (w/ app) | Good | Good | Great | Great Beats Fit Pro | Good (w/ app) | Great | Fair | None | Fair Beats Studio 3 Wireless | Good (w/ app) | N/A (over ear) | Great | Great | Good
r/GooglePixel • Just Got the Pixel 9 Pro XL—Wait for Pixel Buds Pro 2 or Go with Another Earbuds? ->For what I paid for the PBP I think they're fantastic. It is annoying how it is so easy to have them disconnect in the charging case if you don't give it an extra push when inserting, but I can live with that trade-off at $100. Had I spent full price I'd actually be upset about it. $200+ earbuds should not have stupid problems like that. $100 earbuds that otherwise perform like $200 earbuds get some leniency on minor issues. This is why I will be waiting for reviews and/or a steep discount before upgrading.
r/GooglePixel • Just Got the Pixel 9 Pro XL—Wait for Pixel Buds Pro 2 or Go with Another Earbuds? ->I have a series and pro. A series are much more comfortable (to me) Pro can connect to two devices simultaneously and and a great noise cancelling setting Personally if I were in the market and needed a new pair, I would go for the cheaper a series. But plenty of folks will have the opposite opinion
r/GooglePixel • Google Pixel buds? Thoughts? Noise cancelling, battery life, how comfortable they are! ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
