Apple airpods pro ear tips11/21/2023 ![]() ![]() Google Pixel Buds Pro vs Apple AirPods Pro 2: sound The AirPods Pro 2, like the Pixel Buds Pro, have a battery life of six hours (on a single charge with ANC activated) but they pip their Google rivals on total power capabilities, with a total of 30 hours including the charging case. We find this new feature to be reactive yet subtle, blocking out noise from passing traffic but the effect is absent at home or in the office. It’s a happy medium between full ANC and Transparancy Mode. This mode reacts to noise levels in your surroundings and adjusts the level of active noise cancelling dynamically. The second-generation AirPods Pro give an immediately noticeable improvement over the original model in this regard, with Apple stating that the new H2 chip and the re-positioned acoustic vents and mics work together to block out twice as much noise.Īnother new feature is Adaptive Audio. Google’s Pixel Buds Pro feature multipoint Bluetooth connectivity, which should make switching between connected devices simple, and Google claims the earbuds offer up to six hours of playback with ANC turned on and a total of 24 hours with charging-case top ups.Īs for the Apple AirPods Pro 2, we find the noise-cancelling abilities to be “incredibly effective”, with background noise disappearing to “a mere murmur”. The Pixel Bud Pro’s ANC features three settings: noise cancellation, transparency mode (which allows you to hear more of the world around you), and off. This is powered by a custom processor, custom algorithms and custom speakers. The active noise-cancelling uses ‘Silent Seal’ which is said to maximise the ability to block outside noise. We haven’t tested the Google Pixel Buds Pro and their noise-cancelling abilities yet, so we can only go off the specifications listed. Google Pixel Buds Pro vs Apple AirPods Pro 2: features Previous models of the case featured Apple’s proprietary Lightning port for wired charging newer cases use a USB-C connection. ![]() This case is also Qi-certified for wireless charging and the speaker is used to emit tones to indicate charging, low battery or to help find it when misplaced. ![]() With the AirPods Pro 2 comes a MagSafe charging case which has a built-in speaker and lanyard loop. It’s also worth noting that Apple includes four sizes of changeable tips with this model of AirPod earbuds, rather than the standard one-size-fits-all approach seen with its standard AirPods models. There’s also nice haptic feedback when you swipe and we find the controls to be responsive overall. You can also pinch the stems to pause / play media and take calls, while longer presses switch between different noise-cancelling modes. This allows users to swipe up or down on either bud to change volume – a welcome addition over the first-generation AirPods Pro, where this useful feature was missing. Moving on to the AirPods Pro 2, each earbud features a stem that benefits from a touch-capacitive layer. The charging case that comes with the Pixel Buds Pro features a USB-C charging port and also benefits from Qi-certified wireless charging – handy if you already have the means to charge your devices wirelessly. Double or triple taps go to the next or previous track, while swipes forward or backward control volume. The touch-sensitive buds can be used to control a number of essential functions – tap to play / pause media, or answer a call. The earbuds come with three sizes of changeable ear tips and come in a range of different colours: bay, porcelain, charcoal, fog, lemongrass, or coral. Comparing sizes, the Pixel Buds Pro look more compact, and seem to fit in the ear more discreetly compared with the AirPods Pro 2nd generation. We haven’t yet tested this model of Pixel Buds, but the earbud looks as if it fits neatly in your ear, and of course it doesn't have the stem that comes down from AirPods.
