Second-Generation Pixel Buds (2020)

I have used a bunch my picks are the following Overear Bose QC ultra 2 - super comfy,. really good noise cancelling and decent features for easy use For the best actual noise cancelling the pixel bud 2s are actually incredibly good, when I fly which I do often for work I stack these two together and can't hear any other noise when listening to something which is really good. I have used the the qxc550s which are amazing but take some tweaking to sound better than the Bose ones which are great out the box. I've also use the jabra ANC headphones for work which I forget the name off, decent enough but wouldn't buy with my own money. If I could only pick one I'd probably take the pixel buds despite having the worst sound (not bad by any means) of the lot simply because they are small, have the best noise cancelling and easy to track with the app so I've never lost them.

I've noticed audio lag with my Pixel Buds 2 on the deck at times.

Pixel Buds 2 are pretty decent. I also used the LG Tone FreeT906 for a while. Pricey but they do carry Dolby Atmos tech if that's your thing.

I have the pixel buds 2, and I run and lift with them with no issues. I even think they sound decent.

Main differences are dual driver setup on the Pro+ vs single driver on pro, and tip shape where pro+ is oval while pro is circular. I've heard the dual drivers are a big step up, but I didn't get on with the oval tips on the pixel buds 2 so I've held off trying the pro+. The regular Pro has been my daily buds for the last 18 months and I've been pretty happy with them though; I'd recommend do their sound profile test first and then tweak EQ for preference, gave me a solid sound profile. Edit: also do your EQ setup on 'normal' with ANC off, if you balance it around the ANC it can produce weird results when you go back to normal or transparency mode
