Google Pixel Buds Pro
One of those convenient gadgets for sound quality, wireless earbuds are definitely going a long way in satisfying the aurally-curious crowd’s penchant for good quality. Google promises high-end audio and seamless integration with the Android ecosystem through its latest offering in the Google Pixel Buds Pro. Do they really live up to expectations? Well, let’s get into all the details and find out what all you need to know in this review of the Google Pixel Buds Pro.
Design and Build Quality
The Pixel Buds Pro is very elegantly and minimally designed. The curved, ergonomic shape fits snugly into the ear, so that they can be used for an extended period of time without feeling uncomfortable. It also gives it a premium look with the matte finish and fingerprints resistant.
It comes in some pretty cool colors, such as Coral, Fog, Charcoal, and Lemongrass, so everyone can express themselves. The long-term comfort in terms of soft silicon ear tips will be guaranteed even for workouts and daily commutes due to the weightless design.
Sound: Immersive and Balanced
The single feature that has really caught my attention regarding the Pixel Buds Pro is the fantastic quality of sound. The earbuds have been powered with specially designed 11mm dynamic drivers so that they give deep bass, clear mids, and sharp highs in perfectly balanced listening experience. Be it the music streaming or movie night, or a call; all such audio will be heard richly, not distorted.
The company also has Silent Seal™ technology where the performance is adjusted according to your ear shape, maxing out noise cancellation for an ultimate immersive experience.
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Transparency Mode
State-of-the art Active Noise Cancellation comes from Pixel Buds Pro. Working on a combined basis of the hardware and some AI-powered algorithm, the noise is blocked due to ambient reasons, making earbuds effective for crowded and noisy offices, among other uses.
And for when you want to pay more attention to your surroundings, the Transparency Mode allows ambient noises through so you hear more about what is happening around you, like being outdoors while running or biking.
Battery Life and Charging
Google Pixel Buds Pro leads in every aspect, starting from battery life. The earbuds come with up to 11 hours of playback from a single charge and up to 31 hours of playback including the charging case. Even the duration that they maintain their battery power lasts as long as 7 hours even if active noise cancellation is engaged.
This will support both USB-C charging and wireless charging, giving flexibility in preference for charging. A quick 5-minute charge gives up to 1 hour of playback, so them perfect for on-the-go users.
Android seamless integration makes it perfect for its use for those Android devices.
Designed for Android users, the Pixel Buds Pro brings seamless connectivity in the form of Google Fast Pair. All that is required to initiate pairing is an opening of the case near the Android device being used. With Multipoint Connectivity, you may connect up to two devices, and easily alternate between them as needed.
For hands-free control, there are earbuds with Google Assistant, allowing people to check on notifications and manage playbacks with the help of Google Translate while translating language in real time.
Durability and Water Resistance
The Pixel Buds Pro has IPX4 water resistance, which resists sweating and light splash; it will work well in exercising or some sort of adventure. It will be good outdoor/exercise earbuds; not designed for intense rain, let alone submerged submersion, though.
