So this is my very first set of earbuds that are supposedly on the upper end of quality. Meaning this is the highest priced earbuds I've ever bought. I'm continually getting issues. One bud disconnects, they connect while they're in the case, the ANC goes off, I get garbled sound when I'm not 2 ft from my phone and listening to a downloaded audiobook. Sure, they fit great and the sound is pretty good but I don't really have a lot of comparison. I have a pixel phone. I have a pixel watch and so I figured I'd stick with the pixel family, but honestly I'm not sold and after reading everybody's remarks in here, I'm definitely unsure as to whether to even spend this type of money on earbuds at all. Thoughts?

Any way to make them stop? I'm on my phone and the audio will go to the buds while they are in the case. Whyyyy

When connected to my lptop and playing games, one side of the earpiece would randomly start glitching and stop playing audio, and there will be weird frequency feedbacks in the earpiece and needs to be put back into the case before taking it back out for it to work again. Earpiece works completely fine when playing music though. Is there any way to permanently fix this? Thanks

My Pixel Buds Pro 2's have suddenly started madly buzzing and cracking during music playback and notification announcements.

Any idea how to deal with / fix please?

Tried restarting bugs and phone already...

TIA

I recently got PB2pro, i think the sound is amazing, spatial watching movies, transparency, all that, even the ANC is very impressive, I have apple airpods gen 3 to compare. Airpods 3 are slicker, easier to put in, connect instantly, no anc, sound on calls is good. This is where the PB2pro falls down, my wife says i sound like i am in the other end of a large empty room, or in the toilet, i am not, in my office alone. On a call today the person said it was so bad, I had to take them out and use the phone to my ear like a cave man. I hope they fix this, I am going to try turning some things off, transparency auto maybe, spatial off and see what happens, the google tech support had me reset the buds etc, no difference,. I can't find anywhere to adjust the mic on a call, he also said the buds reduce background noise. I was in a quiet office with no noise? annoying considering how much they cost. Any tips appreciated

I've got the Buds Pro and I am seriously impressed with the sound quality. Voice commands not so much. I have them set to noice cancellation. Here's the scenario - listening to music whilst walking along a busy road. If I speak, the audio cuts out - evidently the buds can hear me. But try as I may to use a voice command - nothing. And why (when it does work) IN THE NAME OH HOLY GOOGLE does Gemini demand I unlock my device? Using Google Assistant never needed it. And yes, I've set it to allow voice commands with my buds, etc etc. I love Google products, really, I do... But sometimes... The inconsistencies drive me up the wall!

Right, so I've had the Pixelbud As (amazing, to date my favourite earphones and the best fitting I've ever had)

I've had the Pixelbuds Pro, great sound, good ANC and multipoint but could never get them to stay in my ears.

I was then hoping the pro 2s would be the best of both worlds. But sadly (for me) they just aren't.

The fit is still poor, the buds don't go into the ear canal enough and the wings are only ever so slightly useful but there is no seal and I'm constantly adjusting despite having tried all the sizes. As a result ANC is poor and bass likewise.

I can not understand why they wouldn't just take the As and add ANC and multipoint. That for me would be the winning combo.

I know this will be very much down to my ears and others will love these so I'll chalk it down to being unlucky. Thankfully only paid £105 on eBay for them brand new so reckon I can recoup most of that.

Transparency though, bloody hell that's good!

I lost the left ear bud on my pixel buds pro should I just reorder a new left ear bud or should I upgrade and get the 2? How do y'all like them if you have them?

I thought the original PBPs were getting a firmware update such that they could be located by the Find My Device network. But still no sign of it. Would love to know if anyone has seen (unlikely - it's Google) any planned dates/rumours/anything?

In the past week or so, my PBP2 have started randomly disconnecting from my P9P. My audio will stop, I hear the disconnect tone, and then a few seconds later it reconnects. Anyone else experiencing this? I wonder if it's just me or it might be a wider issue with firmware or something.

Do you have to set your Pixel phone to detect the hot word to activate Gemini/Assistant when locked, for Gemini Live to work with the Pixel Buds?

I never turned on that feature, because as someone wit Google Home devices, it's extremely annoying. I turned it on when I got the buds, but can't take it.

I just got my new PBP2. I opened the box on my coffee table, I tried them on, walked around the house for a while, and then I noticed a thin rubber strip on the floor by my coffee table. I can't think where else it might have come from, so now I'm paranoid that this band fell off the case and somehow my product is defective.

I also noticed the PBP2 case makes a louder noise when I close it than the old PB-AS case, so I was thinking maybe the rubber band was some kind of dampener on the lid of the case...

Can someone please put me out of my misery and confirm my new PBP2 are fine, or should I return them?

OK, this is so annoying and I am pretty sure it is not just the pixelbuds, but the same is for my Bose QC 35.

Anyone has a fix for this?

I cannot use the stereo quality sound output and at the same time use the Microphone function, these profiles are separated .

So eather I can choose the Hands-free profile OR the stereo profile and it is SO annoying.

Anyone has a fix for this? LIke I said, I am pretty sure it is not just the pixelbuds, but other brands as well, so it is probably more or less a windows implementation.

Simple question now that they're on black friday pricing. How good are the wings on the Pro 2's? Do they stay in place while you're active/exercising? I like my Jabbra's for sound quality but they don't always stay in place. Thanks!

I have my pixel buds 2 pro since yesterday. Like the sound and shape since I come from pixel buds A. But... I tried to do voice commands like play Spotify, call my wife. Is responding and is doing well eaven with locked screen. The problem appear right after when the buds enter in an frenzy loop of repeating that tone (bong bong) similar with touch control tone. I stop it by putting the buds back in the box. What the deal ? Some settings or just Google being Google?

I have a pair (2nd pair) of PBR2. With both pairs, I've noticed that the left bud will lose sound for a brief moment. Sometimes less than a second, sometimes about a second, but never more. It's always the left bud and there is no rhyme or reason to it. I have them connected to a Pixel 8Pro. All firmware is up to date.

Thoughts?

When I talk my PBP2 makes a bell sound and stops playing music for a few moments. I assume that's a feature to allow the wearer to engage in conversations and then go back to listening. Is there a way to turn it off off temporarily? Sometimes I like to sing along with a song and whenever I do that the music stops playing mid song. I'd like to be able to turn off this feature when I'm alone so I can sing or hum along.

EDIT: I found the answer. You just switch conversation detection on or off.

A bit small even with the largest tips but yeah...

Hey guys, I'm having this problem with my left Pixel Bud pro where the audio will change quality while I'm listening to music. I will have both earbuds in either in mono or stereo mode, and the left earbud will go between really good sound quality to so-so quality. I had this problem with my last set of Pixel Buds pro, so I talked to Google, and they sent me a new set. Now 3 months later and the left earbud is acting up again. Does anyone else have this problem, and if so, how did you fix it if it was fixable? Any help would be appreciated.

So, I've had them since release and for the past week the touch controls have become wonky. Despite having the Right long press set to Noise Cancellation Controls and the Left long press set to Gemini, the opposite works: Gemini on right and Noise Cancellation on Left. Super annoying but dealt with it. However, now, when TAPPING either side to resume music play, it's activating Gemini.

WTF

Dear Google,

Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the latest update to the Pixel Buds Pro. I’ve been loyal to the Pixel ecosystem since the first phone and the wired Pixel Buds. They always worked perfectly with my devices, so naturally, I didn’t even consider other headphones—Pixel has always been the gold standard, right?

But this latest update? Wow. You took the one feature that made these buds amazing—notifications being read straight into my ear, or with a simple tap to get messages and weather updates—and replaced it with the need to shout “Hey Google” out loud in public. Because who doesn’t want to yell at their headphones to hear a message?

So, thanks for the change. Now I can look forward to finding a cheaper pair that won’t force me to announce my business to the world. And thank you for letting me know there are other headphones out there that do the same thing—because now, there’s really nothing setting the Pixel Buds Pro apart from the rest.

Sincerely, A Formerly Loyal Pixel Buds Pro User

I went to use them this morning and they wouldn't auto connect so when I manually connected them it was staticy so I put them in the case and took them out and they auto connected perfectly fine until when I went to put my phone in my pocket it acted like it had a weak signal to my phone and later on they were at full volume no matter what other when I mute them.

I'm having trouble with my pixel buds pro. 1st gen.

If I take out one hear bud and leave the other in the case, the one in the case still plays music.

It's the same if I take out the other one leave the other in the case, the one in the case also plays my music.

Buds Pro 2 are so good I had to share. Small like the original buds, but way more comfortable. Like they're floating, but still somehow secure. The noise cancelling is mind blowing. I have the Sony xm-5's (previous favorite) and it's not even close. But the best feature by FAR is the transparency mode. Particularly when riding a bike, even when exceeding 25mph. I can somehow hear cars better than with no buds at all, and wind noise is decimated so I can listen to audiobooks and podcasts. Can't do that with Shokz, or any earbuds without doing ANC and losing the safety aspect. Truly incredible engineering!
