At its “Made by Google” launch event, Google just announced the Pixel Watch 3 and the new selection of Pixel 9 series smartphones. The company has also introduced the Pixel Buds Pro 2 in addition to these gadgets.

Specifications and characteristics of the Pixel Buds Pro 2:

With the Pixel Buds Pro 2, Google has prioritized user comfort by including a twist-to-adjust stabilizer that was created using 45 million ear scans. In addition, they made it 25% lighter and 27% smaller than the previous iteration.

Google’s Tensor A1 chip, which offers advanced audio features including spatial audio with head tracking, is a feature of the Pixel Buds Pro 2. Custom 11mm drivers with a high-frequency chamber for smoother treble and deeper bass are what power the earbuds. With Silent Seal 2.0, Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) has been enhanced and now offers a notable boost in noise reduction over the previous model.

The Gemini AI assistant is another feature of the earphones that allows hands-free access to Gemini Live, music recommendations, reminders, and directions.

Extra features include a 5-band EQ that can be customized, Conversation Detection that automatically modifies the ANC during conversations, and Clear Calling, which enhances call quality in noisy surroundings. The cover is rated IPX4, while the earbuds have an IP54 grade for water and perspiration resistance.

When ANC is turned on, the battery life can last up to 8 hours; with the charging case, this can last up to 30 hours. You can extend your listening time by up to three hours with a simple 15-minute charge. The earphones may be wirelessly charged using Qi or USB-C technology.

All upgrades from the previous generation:

Compared to the previous model, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 have a number of upgrades. The stabilizer and different ear tip sizes make them lighter, smaller, and more securely fitted. Additionally, it is reported to have much improved noise cancellation—Google claims a twofold improvement. Additionally, the Tensor A1 chip in the Pixel Buds Pro 2 is expected to enhance both overall performance and sound quality.
