With these improvements, Google is positioning its products as strong contenders in the market. Let’s take a look at the key offerings of the Pixel Buds Pro 2 and Pixel Watch 3 and see how they differ.
Top specifications of Pixel Buds Pro 2
– Pixel Buds Pro 2 are powered by Google’s new Tensor A1 chip. This custom-designed processor enhances audio performance by handling low-latency audio processing and advanced noise cancellation. It also supports sophisticated AI features, enabling seamless interactions with Google’s voice assistant and improving overall sound quality.
-The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are noticeably lighter and smaller than their previous earbuds. By reducing the size by 27 percent and the weight by 24 percent, these earbuds are designed for greater comfort and a more secure fit. This redesign aims to make them more ergonomic to wear for long hours without any discomfort.
– With Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) enabled, the earbuds can last up to 8 hours on a single charge. When used with the charging case, the total battery life increases to 30 hours. Additionally, a 15-minute quick charge can provide up to 3 hours of additional playback time, ensuring you have power when you need it most.
– According to Google, the Tensor A1 chip powers a significantly improved noise cancellation system. The system is capable of adapting to ambient sounds up to 3 million times per second, making it twice as effective as the previous generation. It can filter out a wide range of environmental noises, from traffic to conversations, delivering a quieter listening experience.
–The Pixel Buds Pro 2 come with four different sizes of eartips to ensure a perfect fit for different shapes and sizes of ears. This variety allows users to choose the most comfortable and secure option, enhancing both the acoustic seal and overall comfort of the earbuds.
Available in four stylish colours – Porcelain, Hazel, Peony, and Wintergreen – the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are designed to complement a range of personal styles and preferences, ensuring there’s a colour to match your aesthetics.
Features of Google Pixel Buds Pro 2
-Advanced noise cancellation: The Pixel Buds Pro 2 feature an advanced active noise cancellation (ANC) system that is twice as effective as previous models, Google claims in its blog. The Tensor A1 chip enables this system to continuously adapt to your surroundings up to 3 million times per second.

You can use voice commands to get directions, set reminders, or get music recommendations without interacting with your phone.

This means you can have in-depth conversations, ask complex questions, and get responses in real-time, even when your phone is locked or in your pocket.
–Find My Device feature: Pixel Buds Pro 2 has a built-in Find My Device feature, which includes a ringing speaker in the charging case.

– Clear Calling: The earbuds are designed to enhance call quality by isolating your voice from background noise. This feature ensures that your calls are clearer and more intelligible, making it easier for the person on the other end to hear you without having to ask you to repeat yourself over and over again.
– Conversation detection: Pixel Buds Pro 2 feature conversation detection, a feature that automatically turns off noise cancelling when you speak. This allows you to have a conversation without having to manually adjust the settings, making the transition between listening to music and talking to others seamless and convenient.
– Spatial Audio with Head Tracking: To create a more immersive audio experience, Pixel Buds Pro 2 feature Spatial Audio with Head Tracking. This technology adjusts sound based on your head movements, making it feel like you’re in the center of the action. It enhances the reality of movies and shows, making the listening experience more immersive and lifelike.
– Multi-Device Switching: The earbuds support seamless switching between multiple devices. Whether you’re moving from your laptop to your phone or tablet, you can easily change your audio without having to manually disconnect and reconnect your earbuds.
