The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are a remarkable upgrade over the original Pixel Buds, and we now know how Google made its new earbuds so good.

    Some of this is personal preference, but I thought they were absolute trash. I basically got them for free after credits when I picked up my new pixel and I ended up returning them anyway and spending credits on random accessories. They do not sit well in my ears, I hated the weird noise cancelation that actually makes you disoriented without really canceling noise and the sound is poorly calibrated no matter what I tried listening to.

    I just picked up SoundCore Liberty 4 Pros for $100 and they check every box. So comfortable I forget I have them in my ears. Noise cancelation is superb. Tested in data center and on airplane. Sound quality is subjective, but I love it. New charging case shows battery level for each side and allows adjusting NC level without having to use the app.
