Not only can I use them for music on the go, but they also make calls much easier, especially if I'm talking for an extended period. While you can get by with any pair, choosing one with expanded sound capabilities, good battery life, and noise-canceling will go a long way. The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 are an easy recommendation, especially when they're on sale. Right now, you can grab the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 earbuds for just $169, which is 26% off the usual retail price of $229. This is close to the lowest price we've seen for this model, making it a great time to buy. It's time for a new experience With our time with Pixel Buds Pro 2, we found that the earbuds delivered impressive ANC, along with excellent passthrough. That's important because you want the best listening experience possible, but you also want to stay fully aware of your surroundings. While standard listening is good, we loved that spatial audio was a part of the experience, providing a more immersive listening experience. Furthermore, the battery life was also quite good, with up to 8 hours of use with ANC turned on. It also has a quick-charge feature that gives 1.5 hours of use with a five-minute charge. More importantly, they're compact, comfortable, easy to use, and come in some fun colors. This is everything you need with a pair of earbuds. The discounted price also makes them easier to pick up. They still aren't cheap, but we like that Google has stuck with this model for a couple of years, offering new software upgrades to make them even better. 8.5/10 Wired/wireless Wireless Battery Life 8 hours with ANC (30 hours with case) Noise Cancellation Yes, active The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 features an enhanced design, new audio drivers, and new AI features.
