There are all kinds of earbuds to choose from out there—especially if you aren’t dedicated to one specific ecosystem. If you’re an Android user, however, and especially if you’re a Pixel user, you might find that Google’s Pixel Buds Pro are among your best options. Right now, the latest model, the Pixel Buds Pro 2, have a solid 26% discount for Amazon’s Big Spring Sale—bringing the price from $229 down to $169.
The Pixel Buds Pro 2 have a number of features you’d expect from earbuds sporting the “Pro” moniker. There’s Adaptive Audio, which adjusts the volume based on your environment (if your surroundings get too loud, the volume turns up so you can hear); Loud Noise Protection, which dampens loud noises to protect your hearing; and Active Noise Cancellation. These Pixel Buds Pro are also the first to include a Tensor chip built in, Google’s in-house chip. The earbuds use the Tensor A1 chip to power Active Noise Cancellation, which Google says cancels “twice the noise” as the first generation Pixel Buds Pro.
As this is a Google product, and it’s 2026, Pixel Buds Pro 2 also have AI features you can use—powered by Gemini, of course. You can use the buds to talk to Gemini Live without picking up your smartphone, answer calls by nodding your head, or have Gemini field your incoming messages, including summarizing long texts (though we know how AI summaries can be).
Google says that Pixel Buds Pro 2 have 12 hours of listening time when Active Noise Cancellation is disabled, and up to 48 hours with the charging case. With Active Noise Cancellation turned on, you get eight hours of listening time, and 30 hours with the charging case. You can pop the earbuds in the case for five minutes to get 1.5 hours of listening time (with noise cancellation off).
What do you think so far?
In their review, PCMag found the Pixel Buds Pro 2 “excellent,” with “strong sound quality and solid noise cancellation in a comfortable design.” In their view, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 were definitely best for Pixel users, though all Android users can access the Pixel Buds app for additional customizations. (Sorry, iPhone users.) If you have an Android phone, especially a Pixel, these earbuds are definitely worth a consideration—particularly with the price cut. It’s not the lowest Amazon has had the buds for, but it is the lowest price since January.
