If you own an Android phone and are in need of a pair of wireless earbuds (or just looking to upgrade), you’d do well to consider the Pixel Buds Pro. They’re Google’s best wireless earbuds and the first in the company’s lineup to offer noise cancelation. Naturally, they also provide excellent Android integration, given Google is the brand behind the Android operating system. Not convinced? The Pixel Buds Pro are currently 30 percent off at Amazon, bringing the price from $200 down to $139—a savings of more than $60.
In his review, Stefan Vazharov, our senior technology editor, had high praise for the wireless earbuds. “The Pixel Buds Pro earphones deliver high-quality sound with a balance between deep bass, detailed midrange, and vibrant treble, thanks to their custom 11-millimeter audio driver,” he said.
Vazharov also deemed the Pixel Buds Pro worthy of inclusion in our roundup of the best wireless earbuds. This is testament to their capability, given they appear alongside such standout headphones as the AirPods Pro, Beats Studio Buds, and Jabra Elite 4 Active.
The Pixel Buds Pro’s headline feature is active noise cancelation, which can drown out even loud ambient noise. In Vazharov’s review, he found the in-ear seal and custom processor could eliminate the roar of street traffic — no easy feat in a big city. Meanwhile, the ergonomic design also makes them very comfortable, with pliable ear tips that can conform to your ears. He was able to wear them all day without any issues.
Like other top wireless earbuds, the Pixel Buds Pro have a transparency mode, which lets in outside noise (when you want it) so you’re aware of your surroundings. In addition to letting in ambient noise, this mode makes it possible for you to carry on a conversation while wearing the earbuds. The Pixel Buds Pro also delivers excellent call quality thanks to microphones that help eliminate unwanted background noise, ensuring your voice comes through clear even in loud settings.
The Pixel Buds Pro provide up to 31 hours of total listening time. They’re essentially the best alternative to the AirPods Pro for Android users, say if you have a phone like the Pixel 7a.
We recommend checking out the Pixel Buds A-Series if you’re on a tighter budget. These headphones are also on sale right now for 40 percent off, bringing the price down to $59 from $99.
