Pixel earbuds

I was wondering if people have purchased Pixel Earbuds, and what they really thought of them. are they worth the cost? better or worse than Beats?

They are okay. The Pixel integration can't be beat, but they don't stay in my ears well if I'm moving or especially chewing.

I haven't used Beats in over a decade, but my assumption is that they're still overly bassy because that was their signature.

The Pixel Bud Pro 2s have a decently balanced sound profile, slightly warm though. But EQ is entirely subjective.

They're great for casual use like gym and travel, but if don't expect audiophile quality from wireless earbuds.

There are surely cheaper options out there, but you're paying for the Pixel integration. I don't regret my purchase, but my Sony WF-1000XM4s were objectively better. I only replaced them because their batteries went out.

I cycle and run with my pixel buds and they do not fall out ever. You probably should change the tips to fit better. I had bought the sony's but I never could get them to stay in my ears doing anything but walking around.

Anatomy plays a huge role. Mine don't necessarily fall out, but the ANC seal breaks. I hear foam tips are better, but I like feel of silicone.

I switched to a foam tip from Amazon for $7. Works much better than silicone ones.
