ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
FEATURES:
Google uses a lot of custom stuff, from chips to drivers, to silicone, and it is all to achieve what they believe to be the best pro earbuds you can buy
Multipoint connection
Google Assistant integration
11/31 hrs battery! - 7 with ANC
Eartip seal checker
If you tap and hold for a second and then let go without saying anything to Google, she will read your notifications to you
Find my earbuds
DESIGN:
Compare to older Pixel Buds
Chunkier
I love the physical button to force pairing
Wireless charging
Proximity sensors
IPX4
FIT/COMFORT:
Pressure relief with active pressure sensors inside
These go deep in your ear canal
These are a very oval shaped earbud without many orienting features, so it is easy to put them in your ears incorrectly and have bad ANC or fit
During a workout, these stayed in for me, except for the left which stayed in much better than the AirPods Pro, but for some reason, my left ear is not friends with earbuds that lack a wingtip
CONTROLS:
I love that there are swipe vol controls but why are they opposite? Up/down works as well as forward back
WORKOUTS:
No wing tips, but they go deep in the ear
Kind of like Jabra Elite 85t vibes imo
SOUND:
Plenty of big bass - pretty tight and punchy
Slightly sibilant
Warm and powerful with lively sound with that larger 11mm custom driver
I would love to EQ this, but I believe the EQ is coming soon? It is not in the app from what I can tell. And never buy something on the promise that a feature will be added
Too afraid to love you by the black keys sounds great. Thumpy baseline and simple stage
In logic's album vinyl days, the persistent snare beat is too forward and eclipses a lot of the song
Showdown by stick figure is a warmer reggae song and it sounds really nice with these buds
I would say these are much better than Google’s last two iterations of the Pixel Buds, but not quite as good as the Beoplay EX or Momentum TW3’s
Lacks some low level detail on the high end
Really, my beef is with the cymbals/snare and other details like that
In summary, these are not bad, but for $200, I want better detail.
These are sort of the opposite of the AirPods Pro. The AP Pros have great detail but lack bass, and these have nice bass but lack some high end detail.
ANC:
Not good if there is any wind
Good for cutting out A/C, dishwasher, or other general sounds
Pretty decent for cutting out a drum set
I expect algorithms to improve with updates from Google
Probably not quite as good as Sony or Apple, but better than some
Transparency mode sounds a bit robotic, and again wind is an issue.
Not as good as the AirPods Pro
APP:
These will work with iPhone, but you can’t get the app
THE GOOD:
Multipoint
Great battery
Strong bass
Lots of Google features
THE BAD:
Sound could be more detailed
No advanced CODECs
Fit can be finicky
No app for Apple

Oops. Typo on the mic test. These are obviously the Pixel Buds Pro and not the Galaxy Buds Pro

Did you get married recently O.B? Congratulations if so. Welcome to world of bliss and happiness. Very cool young chap.
I'm glad you pointed your booboo lol thumbs up as always nicely done vid!😉
Compare it with Samsung buds
Compare to Samsung buds FE, currently about the same price with sales in the UK. Thank you!
I think it would be smarter to compare them to the galaxy buds pro. I think the cross shopping between the two would be higher than the airpods
Yeah i think you’re right
Or just do a big shootout between these two, and 1more evo, sennheiser cx plus, jabra elite 7, and few others that is in the same price range
Oh yeah ofc don't forget abt the link buds s
Higher what? Ur funny. Airpods will always be in the options of people. Airpods is the most sold earbuds globally. Even if you separate airpods sales alone from apple themselves, it's still worth more than $10 billion beating many companies' total value. Airpods is dominating the sales so u should keep your bias android ass off the table
@@l_r8671 k
@@l_r8671 airpods is not the worst, but most certainly not the best selling because it's the best, and it's an audio tech, which doesn't need to be exclusive-fied as either android or iOS, it's for a device which support Bluetooth wireless connection,
and if you bragging so much abt Apple airpods being the best selling, then a comparison with that thing won't be necessary, because we all know it's just kinda a worse and more expensive version of earbuds in the same class, but you a logo worshipper still can't stop talk about it
I'd love to see a comparison with the Sony xm4, I've talked to a lot of people who are deciding between the two. I have both and like the buds pro better
I have the XM4s and AirPods right now, and the XM4s have much better noise cancellation. How do you think the noise cancellation on these compares to the XM4s?
I was between xm4's and Galaxy buds. I'm going with Galaxy because of the size and weight, Sony is better is a little better, but Galaxy does everything very well and is way more comfortable.
Would like a mic test in a quiet room and semi quiet room. A common use these days is for zoom meetings, working from home situations. Many earbuds mic simply sounds awful for this (including the original pixel buds)
Please try comparing it to the WF XM4. They are both the same price now.
One thing I like about the Pixel buds is the case when open and close, it doesn't feels cheap but it's springy and solid! Great egg design for comfort too.
I love watching your breakdowns. Your channel is always one I look to when trying to decide on quality sound products. I feel the pain points of earbuds for me personally are wind issues, pairing seamlessly between devices, & battery life. I have not had the best experience when I have tried Google hardware. I have been using the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds for 7 months. In my experience, the most Important thing to know is what works best with your phone. I think comparing these to android-friendly earbuds like Sony & Samsung, but maybe throw in the Apple Airpods Pro comparison for some fun and interesting perspectives.
You are easily the KING of earbuds, watches, and other electrics reviews. Thank you. Now off too watch your Pixel 6A review 😁
I think compared to the WF-1000XM4. Especially since the sonys are so much cheaper now on resale
I agree with your thoughts about the sound. I think being able to take the bass down a notch will increase the detail as the bass is masking it a bit. I tend to go for a more neutral sound profile than these currently offer but EQ should save them for me.
great review! I agree with the point you made about getting them seated properly in your ears. I never get that "ok. now they are in properly" feeling. I have also dropped (not fallen out) the individual buds twice on two separate occasions. Apparently I am having difficulty holding on to them for whatever reason. I have the pixel buds 2020 and I have never dropped those. All in all I am pretty impressed so far. I like the mat finish, the colors, and the design. 5pt EQ coming soon.
I'd review this between the WF-1000XM4's even though the prices ranges are a bit higher.
Nice review.
I wonder why one of the most reputable companies in the world will not support / license a high rez codec when they are up against popular high quality competitors. The Sennheiser MTW3 and Sony XM4 are way better sounding than these. LDAC at 990 would have brought them audibly closer for example.
Pixel buds pro VS. Jabra 85t or active etc. Thank you for this in-depth review! Really helps me out.
Returned 85t after I got these.
@@amaninderhajra is there option to return if yes then where
@@saurabhrajsinha I am in Canada. Returned at BestBuy
I would like to see the comparison of the pixels and the new Sony buds
I would like to see a comparison with the Sony Noise Canceling Truly Wireless WF-1000XM4 Earbuds
How I would like to see this vs the Sennheiser momentum 3 earbud
Good review. I really enjoy my 2020 pixel buds but the multi point connection and the transparency mode feature Take my favorite part of my AirPods Pro and my QC35s and Might be enough to replace my old pixel buds
I would like these vs the Galaxy Buds Pro and the Air Pods Pro please!!!
I'd love to see a comparison between these and the galaxy buds pro, especially in terms of sound quality.
Comparison with Galaxy Buds Pro please.
He already did at 6:10 ;)
Another great video Mike. I would like them to be compared up against the Galaxy Buds 2 🙂
I was waiting to hear your opinion and this put the nail in the coffin. Great vid.
Thank you!!
EQ just came out for the Pixel Ear Buds and sound is awesome ! Love mine paired with my Pixel 7 Pro -- Purchased for $169 yesterday - can't beat it !
Not airpods pro. We know they sound better than airpods pro and those comparisons are played out. New ones are coming soon. So I would say liberty 3 pro, 1more evo, and galaxy buds pro 2 (those will be out soon too). Sounds like there's much better options for cheaper
The only things I don't like about them is their shape makes it to where I tent to fumble with them a little bit when inserting them or handling them and they don't get very loud. Other than that, they are great. I love their sound quality and they have great noise canceling.
Can you please compare pixel buds pro vs sony linkbuds s (sound, ANC, size etc.). Thanks a lot!
I want to buy the pixel buds pro, but waited for your review. Thanks!
Thanks for waiting for my review! I’m so glad you value my opinion and testing!
@@MikeOBrienMedia ofcourse you make the best reviews. Good opinion and still not biased.
I ordered the Pixel Buds Pro a couple of weeks ago and am kind of questioning whether they are truly worth their price point. Still playing the "wait and see game" since they have not arrived yet. But, bass quality is something I heavily look for while listening, so this aspect sounds encouraging. Thanks for your honest review!
how's your buds?
@@alexmn604 My honest take: The sound quality is decent enough, and the noise cancellation is noticeable, however it does not necessarily cancel it completely. For a bit of a lower price point, I think they are worth it. They are good, but I do not believe they are worth $200.
@@matthewferrando7073 Okay. And how about the fit and comfort?
@@alexmn604 I actually think that is their best feature. They are definitely pretty comfortable.
@@matthewferrando7073 Okay mate. Thank you for the reply 😊
Was looking forward to this review. Mine should arrive tomorrow
1st time seeing one of your videos. Probably the best review of these I've seen so far.
Pixel Buds Pro vs the Galaxy buds pro and the Senheisser MTW 3.
Been using the Galaxy Buds pro and the Sennheisers. Would love to know hhow the Pixel Buds pro fare against them!
Cheers!
👍👌
Same here, I've been debating getting the Sennheiser MTW3 but wanted to wait until the pixel buds came out to decide.
Probably said already, but either a comparison with the Linkbuds S or the Galaxy Buds Pro :) So glad you have this up already, was waiting for you or El Jefe's reviews
Honestly, would like to see how these hold up to the underdog SoundCore Liberty 3 Pros.
Is it worth upgrading from the Pixel buds A?
I just watched your video on the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and then rewatched this one. I have a Pixel 6 Pro so I will probably go for the Pixel Buds Pro. I do not like how Samsung devices don't work well with other non-Samsung devices. I was thinking about getting the new Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, but some features won't work because I have the Pixel phone. I think Samsing is shooting themselves in the foot.
Actually, I think these have more of a Fiil design . They don't have the same exact boxy design of the various Fill T1 designs (also Earfun Free Pro 2), but the fit in the ear is actually very similar.
A rather fair synopsis, Mike.
I'm anxious to receive my pre-order (+ regular firmware updates).
Would love to see them compared against the Jabra elite 85t and Sony WF1000xm4s
These do kind of feel like the 85T’s to me. Could be an interesting one
@@MikeOBrienMedia awesome review as always on the PBP!
I've had them for a day and I agree with just about everything. The features are really nice (I LOVE the multipoint) but sound could be better. Hopefully firmware helps with that.
I think you guys should do a comparison between the pixel buds pro and the Sony WF1000xm4
A comparison to the Galaxy buds 2/pro would be great. Those are my current buds of choice, and they are both solid.
I have the Galaxy Buds 2 & the Pixel Buds Pro ...I'm returning the Pixels because the comfort difference is night & day for my ears. I can wear the Galaxy Buds 2 for hours , the pixel buds only for about 30 minutes because they're much bigger than the galaxy buds 2
as an android user highly considering airpod pros, after having testing friend's airpod pros and sony wh1000xm4s, i would love to see these compared to airpod pros
I would love a comparison to all 3. Galaxy, AirPods and these.
I really think you should do a comparison to multiple earbuds, like the galaxy buds pro, airpods pro,band other "pro" buds. To be interesting to see where these line up along all the other pro models at their relative price points.
Hey Mike, very informative video again. I'd like to have a comparison with Airpods pro, Bose QuietComfort buds, and Bose sports buds. Please make a video on it. Thanks.
Wish they kept the wing tip. It kept the buds in my ear during workouts...
thank you very much we hope you to make a comparison between this vs Sennheiser momentum true wireless 3
I was actually going to upgrade to these from the A series, but after watching your older video with a huge comparison between earbuds, I went for the Sony ones instead since there was a lack of reviews on the pronbuds and the reviews were mild in regards to the ANC.
I'm super happy with the sound quality and ANC of the Sony's, but what is really compromised compared to my old A series buds, is the build quality. The case and buds of the Sony feels very cheap. That being said, still appreciate your review s lot and happy with my purchase. Will look forward to being able to try and compare the pro buds ANC and sound quality to my Sony's
I would love for you to compare it to the Jabra Elite 85t since it also goes for around the same price point, it often goes on sale for 180-200 and has ANC and is the ones I have right now. I wanna see if it is worth buying these though
I think you should do a Google, Apple, and Samsung comparison. Comparing the pro buds for each brand. Comparing how they work with their own phones and what benefits each ones give.
Hey Mike - awesome review - thank you! Do you think they could fix the lack of codecs with firmware, or is that a hardware support thing?
I have the same question
I was also wondering about this?
There is a typo on the microphone test, not Galaxy buds pro
Please compare the Google Buds Pro vs the most popular and best ones like Apple AirPods Pro, Galaxy Buds Pro, Sony WF1000XM4 etc
I would pay the price for multi connect and clear mic use! If mic doesn't block the noise around me I would return them. I am on a lot of business online meetings hence the preference.
Please compare with the buds that also have good mic and multi connect :)
ANC couldn't care less. Passive noise proofing has been satisfactory with all other buds I've had. And ANC just drains battery.
Music. Good base is a good gimmick. Albeit not a priority hence music detail is not on top of the list. If music did become priority with I'd go music dedicated overear model
Good review, thanks, however you didn't discuss the audio latency issue...
6:08 are you testing Galaxy buds pro mic..? As your stated
I have these and they are better then I expected! I have the Buds 2 as well so it's a nice upgrade just for the battery life alone! Please compare this to the Beats Fit Pro!
I'm hearing reports from people like El jefe that they actually sound better than the AirPods Pro. When you add in the battery life and when you add in all the extra features you get with Google earbuds, I really think that these are some of the best earbuds for a Android phone. I think your average person wouldn't notice the 5% sound difference between earbuds and they would much more appreciate the extra features. And they are for sure adding an EQ and some other features in the future, like a spatial audio type of thing from what I heard. So I'm all in on the PBP
Vid was amazing as always. I think u should compare them to the airpods pro, galaxy buds pro, pixel buds a series, and xm4
Thanks for the review Mike.
Seems like the Galaxy Buds Pro would be the better comparison to determine the better Android wireless earbuds & ecosystem. We know AirPods are best for iPhone
I actually love the wing on my buds A-Series... It's the reason I didn't upgrade to the Pro lol
How about a 3-way comparison between the Pixel Buds Pro, iPod Pro & the Galaxy Buds Pro (newest version)?
I have the 2020 models now and will probably upgrade eventually. I do want to wait though and see if Google will run some Eco-system special in October with maybe the Pixel 7, Watch, and Buds Pro at a discounted bundle?
I think the best comparison would probably be the Sony Linkbuds S since they are both $200 and they both came out around the same time this year.
I like mine a lot. My biggest gripe is how hard it is to take them out of the case! Sheesh! What's the trick here, because I don't hear any reviewers complaining about that.
Excellent! thanks for the review!
Just got mine today. Had the Momentum 3's. Idk but I'm team Google lol so they sound better than M3's
How would you say these compare to Jabra Elite 85t in terms of comfort, sound quality and ANC?
Definitely out for me. I'm not sure why Google not only omitted any decent wireless codes (aptx, LDAC) but also took a step back with Bluetooth 5.0 when others are available with 5.1 and 5.2 which are more reliable and can shunt more data. Waiting until October to see what comes out with aptx Losseless.
I love the description from one reviewer "like having your ears dug with a spoon"!
A comparison with the Status Audio Between Pro would be Sweet
Good Review Mike, thank you, I found your channel when looking for reviews on these as I am considering them. Honestly the top things that I am looking for in Wireless Ear Buds are 1. Fit/Comfort (I have ear buds in more than I have them out) 2. Battery Life (even though I have the 2 gen Air Pods & of course the battery life has deteriorated some as to be expected,) they still die incredibly fast & I don't like that & they don't even have any ANC & while there will be times that I will certainly use ANC & I am thankful for that feature, I also like & need to hear my surroundings at times so ANC is (almost) a bonus feature. The Touch Controls on these especially the swipe back & forth for Volume I think sell me on these too. I also don't like Super Heavy Bass Ear Buds Headphones & I also need the ability to switch between my upcomming Mac computer & my Upcomming Pixel 7 Phone. I think between your's & Tech Odyssey's Initial Review of these, I will pick up a pair this Fall.
Pixel Buds Pro vs Freebuds Pro. I believe the "Audio connection center" on freebuds pro is amazing and I don't know if I'm ready to miss that to have auracast and those feautures on the pixel buds. And a lot of reviews miss the auracast feauture.
I'm SO GLAD someone FINALLY told the truth about APP's!! bass is non existent in those and for the amount u pay for them they SHOULD sound like the sound core liberty 3 pros, Jabra 75t's or even the Sennheiser's which are all either cheaper than the APP's or on par pricing with those but offer way more...
Comparing them against Galaxy Buds Pro (2 when they do come out) would be my vote
What about comparing them with the Sony linkbuds s?
I watched another review by another channel and they commented on the fact that the bass was weak and highs were punchy. is it different for every pair or is something off with someone's hearing?😭
they look like cyberpunk ear implants lol. in other words: badass
Mine seemed to cancel the wind well and I thought the highs were a little too crisp with "S" sounds being really forward.
I'd love to see these compared to the Galaxy Buds Pro (although maybe after the new ones come out in August). Also, are you planning to review the new Beyerdynamics earbuds? They look really promising.
I got mine for $108 since my boss got me a $50 gift card and I went no shipping on Amazon. For my first pair of wireless earbuds? Can't be mad.
I'd love to watch you compare those to the galaxy buds pro
Nice review Mike. I might grab these when they inevitably go on sale as I think $200 is just too much for any of these IEM's. The only real apples to apples (see what I did there) comparison is with other Android specific IEM's like Sony's.
When I would chew gum with my old earbuds it always affected them pushing them out a bit and not making them fit right. With the Google buds I don't have that probably. If anyone was curious.
I'm a soundcore user at the level of sound quality , non of these stand with Liberty series with the ACAA technology they deliver , including Bowers and wilkins, SONY XM series, but if you want more of ecosystem you have to choose earbuds that go with the phone's system of course, I'm about to buy a Pixel 7 pro and of course I'll get the Pixel buds pro beside my Soundcore Liberty 3 pro and B&W PI7
I'd like to see a comparison to the Sennheiser momentum 3, although you kind of do that already in this review.
great review! I like it and I will take the lemon color. thanks!
Please compare these to the OnePlus Buds Pro!! I'm trying to decide whether I should upgrade or not. Or better yet, compare them with a few 🤷🏽♂️
I'd definitely get these but I still love my Pixel Buds A series
suggestion: please put time stamps moving forward :)
Definitely compare theses against the airpods pro !
Nice video
id like to see these next to AirPods Pro or beats fit pro
Sony XM4 or Linkbuds S could be a good comparison too 👍
Please compare them to the Jabra 7 series, would appreciate that Mike!
Why not having an app for Apple devices should be a con for these earbuds, if we never talk about the fact that there's no app/lack of compatibility for the Airpods on Android devices ?
I'm currently having the same wind issue in the galaxy buds pro, it amplifies wind noise in both anc and ambient sound modes
I think it would be really smart to compare to the galaxy buds pro because they are both android, but I feel like another good option would be the Soundcore Liberty 3 pros, because of all the hype they have been getting, and they also have multipoint connectivity.
Very well put..agree 💯 pixel/galaxy/LSC pro
The only point which is interesting is... under a helmet, on my motorcycle, can I use Google Assistant (Bard soon I hope) to create an alarm, a meeting, sending a message through WhatsApp and it's reading my WhatsApp messages when I'm riding my motorcycle on the highway without touching anything ?
6:06 Wait, so are you overlaying the Galaxy Buds Pro mic audio over a video of you using the Google Pixel Buds Pro or did you just type that by mistake?
Please do a comparison between sennheiser momentum 3 true wireless vs google buds pro
