Verdict: Still good noise-cancelling earbuds for Android, and often much cheaper than the Pixel Buds Pro 2. The newer model is smaller, cancels more noise and adds Gemini features.
Good for
- Android and Pixel owners on a budget who still want ANC
- Battery life: up to 11 hours per charge, 31 with the case (ANC off)
- Convenient wireless (Qi) charging
Skip it if
- You want the strongest ANC and newest features; get the Pixel Buds Pro 2
- You use an iPhone
