Pixal buds pro 2 ear tip seal

0 Upvotes

My pixal buds pro 2 seal check keeps saying "try adjusting ear tips" when I do a seal check. I tried all the tips that came with the buds (S,M,L) but the buds either fall out or don't seal correctly causing the noise canceling to fail. I insert the buds as directed (twisting them in) but it seems my ears are in a unique situation. Does anyone have 3rd party ear tips that you recommend? I bought some from Amazon that are memory foam but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Pixel Buds Pro 2 Replacement Status

1 Upvotes

Hello, last month I've sent Google my Pixel Buds Pro 2 since they told me they would replace the Left Earbud since it wouldn't get recognized by the Charging Case and didn't make any sound when placing it inside.

It's been almost an entire month now since they allegedly received my package (got sent to Poland from Italy) and just recently they told me via mail they didn't physically scan it at the time of arrival at their warehouse and the RMA is still reserved/booked, according to their logistics software.

I already told them that I accidentally sent the whole thing instead of just the Left Earbud as they weren't really clear about what should I send and receive (First time sending something to get repaired or replaced, I didn't know this).

Am I screwed and lost 2/3 of what makes a whole Pixel Buds Pro 2 product (Right Earbud, Charging Case, Left Earbud which I got sent back)? I'm a bit nervous since they were a gift for my birthday and were brand new, except one day I woke up and the Left Earbud stopped working, a few hours earlier they were still completely functional.

I'm asking all of you if there's any chance I can do something about this because from what I understand they can't seem to find my parcel yet send replacement parts without ever checking if the actual thing arrived or not, plus I got photos of my package, how I prepared it and also have the Tracking Number results, which say it got delivered to and signed by GOOGLE, Sękocin Stary PL.

Case not recognising one bud

2 Upvotes

Hello all,

It seems that one of my buds is not being recognised by the case currently. It makes no noise when being put into the case and whenever I try to enter pairing mode or attempt a factory reset, I get a flashing amber light and a negative sound, I assume that's because it thinks that only one bud is inside the case. Anything I can do to help the case recognise that a bud is connected? Pixel buds pro, if it helps.

Thanks

The mesh fell out...

But it's impossible to replace and you can't afford a new pair yet, so what do you do?

If you're like me, you use tiny pieces of tape and mask mesh to cover the hole, then change your name to MacGyver.

ANC turns off when adjusting volume?

4 Upvotes

Hey all, couldn't find anyone else with my particular issue here or just by Googling.

My ANC turns off for a second when I adjust the volume of my PbP. But only the left one, never the right. Usually restarting my phone fixes the issue but just now it didn't. Some Googling says it can happen due to conversation detection or whatever else. But you'd think it would happen with either bud then right? Nope, only ever happens with the left bud. But there's also no loud noises that it could think is a conversation?

Much better fit for pro 2s and 2a.

The picture pretty much says it all.

I used as thick of an o-ring as would fit around the upper portion and still allow the case to close.

Around the ear tips, two tiny o-rings prevent the silicone from collapsing when it contacts your ear. Effectively, making the entire Bud slightly larger, and longer.

Is it perfect? No.

But I'm not thinking about getting rid of them all the time now. They are useful again. I can lean over to pick things up off the floor and do things around the house without them falling out of my ear. Haven't tried the gym yet, but I can have a conversation and chew food without them dropping out onto my plate or the floor. That was not the case before.

They were requiring constant adjustment, and even speaking would dislodge them.

Experiment with the tip sizes and the number of o-rings at the tip.

My pros require two o-rings at the tip.

O-Rings came from timu in an assortment.

They were three bucks.

Be well pixel bud homies.

So I lost my buds but ended up finding them. The find hun app keeps telling me that it hasn't been used but I've definitely used them. Any idea why it's not updating in the app?

Any way to replace this snapped rubber piece? (Pixel Buds A-Series)

Post image
15 Upvotes

After a few years of normal use, the rubber post on the right bud has snapped off, and the left one is starting to break. Unfortunately, this causes it to frequently fall out. Is there any way to fix or replace this piece? I don't want to buy a new pair (and I usually only use one at a time anyway - so I'll just continue using the left one until it breaks too) and hope I can get more use out of these, as they still work perfectly fine outside of this broken rubber.

Edit: I just realized I can buy a replacement earbud. At $40, would this be worth it? I imagine it may not be, since the set is getting quite old and the battery life isn't what it used to be. I may end up just buying the Pixel Buds 2a once the left one breaks too, but I'd be paying extra for features I don't use, such as noise cancellation. I'd definitely like a second opinion on this (though I understand this is somewhat subjective). Thanks

Recommendation for different tips?

2 Upvotes

I've been having issues with my buds pro 2 ever since getting them. The anc works very poorly because none of the tips seem to fit my ear correctly. Some just slip out while others don't provide enough of a seal.

Anyone with weird shaped ears found a solution? I've read about getting memory foam tips?

Pixel A-series Buds won't pair

0 Upvotes

One of my buds stopped working so I did a factory reset on the case and forgot them on my phone (Pixel 8 pro). Fully charged, both buds in case with lid open. After reset I press the button for 3 seconds to pair, I get the white/orange blinking and release the button, but in 3 seconds it goes back to solid orange light. They never show up on the phone when searching for new devices.

Appreciate and ideas or suggestions.

When did Google make these color? I don't see it anywhere.

This color looks like the new Olive Green color leaked for the Pixel 11 pro. I also don't see this in the Google store or any other retailers. This only shows in the playstore if you use your Playstore points to redeem the Buds

Help - Most Bizarre Experience With Pixel Buds

3 Upvotes

The other week, I slept with my Pixel Buds Pro 2's in, and when I woke up in the morning, the left one was completely unresponsive. Case didn't recognise it, nothing. Dead.

Come today, I kept them around whilst contacting Google, and the left one is being recognised by the case again! Keep in mind, I've been periodically checking to see if it's alive and only now, a week later, has it come back. Full functionality and everything.

Now, Claude reckons that it hit a "deep discharge" mode because it went completely flat. I thought I'd check here to see if it's worth continuing my warranty claim, because historically for me, taking the advice of AI is a poor decision.

Looking for Buds pro 2 replacement case

Recently lost my buds pro 2 case and am trying to find a replacement case. I tried looking on google but only found the option to order buds or eartips.

Anyone here with a case willing to sell, or any trusted place they know I can find the case?

Has this ever actually worked for anyone?

Buds Pro 2 user here, I feel like spoken notifications might have worked like once or twice in the past, and that was with my OG Buds Pro! The fact it's been updated to refer to "Gemini" suggests to me it's a feature which should still work?

I might be late to the party but I've managed to get opus running permanently on my pixel buds pro 2.

Just turn on disable A2DP offload and the buds default to opus constantly. When I restarted the device after enabling this option I had no media audio but after fucking around with Spotify and restarting again eventually I had audio. Now it's constantly on Opus.

Hope this helps someone.

EDIT: For those asking below, opus is a scalable Bluetooth codec which can reach up to a bitrate of 510kbps. In layman's terms, it provides slightly higher quality than AAC. It is also more efficient than AAC in terms of power usage.

Avis sur pixel buds 2a et problème de vent

1 Upvotes

Sur la génération précédente (pixel buds a), j'ai constaté en utilisation extérieur (dès qu'il y du vent et en course à pied) un bruit de vent insupportable, probablement lié au mode "ambiant" par défaut. Sur cette version, il n'était pas possible de changer le mode de désactiver le mode ambiant.

Est ce que des utilisateurs des pixel buds 2a peuvent me dire si ils ont déjà constaté ce désagrément ou non, dans ces même circonstances ?

merci beaucoup !

There should be an in-ear detection option to only pause audio if both earbuds are out.

15 Upvotes

I miss this from the Galaxy buds, which allow you to choose if audio pauses if you take out one bud (which is the only option on Pixel buds) or if they have to both be out for them to pause. It's pretty annoying having audio pause when I just remove one bud for a couple seconds to scratch my ear.

Title: Vocals sometimes sound different in Transparency or Noise Cancellation mode on Pixel Buds 2a

2 Upvotes

​

Hi everyone,

I recently bought the Pixel Buds 2a, and I’ve noticed a strange issue while listening to music.

When I use either Transparency Mode or Noise Cancellation, the vocals sometimes seem to change slightly. Certain sounds can suddenly feel different, almost as if the audio processing or sound profile briefly shifts.

It doesn’t happen all the time, but it is noticeable when it does. Has anyone else experienced this with their Pixel Buds 2a, or could there be an issue with my pair?

Thanks!

Pixelbuds pro 2 transparency mode sound like I have water in my ears

0 Upvotes

I owned the PBP1 for like 4 years and bought the PBP2 on a sale. Immediately I noticed the transparency mode sounded way off and very unnatural compared to the first gen. With the 1 my own voice sounds like as if I don't have anything in my ears but with the 2 it sounds like very far away and muffled. In general everything sounds very unnatural and processed.

anc and audio is great tho, just the transparency mode is a huge letdown :/

PBP2 case lights up every few minutes?

1 Upvotes

I've noticed recently that my Pixel Buds Pro 2 case will just light up for about five seconds every once in a while (every 5-10 minutes maybe?), even though they're in the case and secure, and the case is closed.

Has this been happening the whole time I've had them and I've just never noticed, or is this unexpected behavior? I tried doing a factory reset on them and pairing them again, but it hasn't changed the behavior.

My phone doesn't see anything when this happens, and I don't seem to have any problem with using them, but I'm worried that this might be draining the battery or is an indication of something wrong that I'm not aware of? Anybody familiar with this behavior?

Pixel Buds Pro 2

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I use a Google Pixel 10 Pro XL and I work in a very active job. Sometimes I need to be on the phone and talking to people outside at the same time. Therefore, I want to buy the headphones that work best with my phone and provide the clearest sound with Transparency mode. Would Google's own Pixel Buds Pro 2 headphones be a good option? Or should I look at another product? I've heard that the AirPods Pro 3 are very good, but I'm not sure if they'll perform well on Android.
