![]() ![]() Google and Samsung also deliver on smarts. Transparency modes (or ambient modes, as they’re also referred to) are essentially the same between both pairs, but the Buds 2 Pro helped voices sound a tad less wet with their improved microphones. ![]() The Pixel Buds Pro seemed to block wind better than the Buds 2 Pro, while Samsung’s buds tend to mitigate louder sounds better, thanks to a more sealed-off fit in your ears. On the contrary, they each deliver solid ANC and can block out external noise very well. The Pixel Buds Pro and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro both trail behind other earbuds when it comes to active noise cancelation (ANC) and transparency, but that’s not to say either of them are bad. TL DR: The Pixel Buds Pro offer a great listening experience across different genres, while the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are slightly better with richer clarity for high and mid frequencies.ĪNC, transparency and intelligence are a toss-up between the buds Google says it’ll roll that feature out to the Pixel Buds Pro at some point, but it has yet to arrive. In addition, Samsung’s buds are the only ones with 360-degree spatial audio support. You need a Samsung phone to take advantage of it since it relies on a custom-built codec, but it’s another example of the higher resolution the Buds 2 Pro operate at compared to Google’s earbuds. What’s more, Samsung includes 24-bit hi-fi audio support on the Buds 2 Pro. Samsung’s dedicated 10mm woofers and 5.3mm tweeters are able to kick out a wider range of frequencies for improved clarity in the content you listen to, so higher-pitched vocals and acoustic instruments sound a bit better than they do on the Pixel Buds Pro. There are two areas where the Pixel Buds Pro take a back seat to the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro: podcasts and music with more lively instrumentation. Hip-hop sounds particularly good on these buds, as the extra bass provided by Google’s custom algorithm helps to give tracks that extra oomph you’re looking for. The 11mm custom drivers in the Pixel Buds Pro bring a warm and inviting soundstage to your ears, which is perfectly tuned to play virtually any genre of music you can imagine. ![]() But Google’s earbuds still manage to impress. Like their design, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are slightly better than the Pixel Buds Pro when it comes to sound quality. Sound quality is slightly better on the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, but it’s still excellent on the Pixel Buds Pro TL DR: Google’s Pixel Buds Pro are perfectly comfy and light enough to wear all day, but the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro fit more naturally and make it feel like you aren’t wearing earbuds at all. They’re each perfectly fine and easy to throw in a pocket or bag. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro come in a standard rounded square case, while the Pixel Buds Pro opt for a unique egg-shaped case. In terms of their cases, I’m a bit neutral. Either way, you won’t have to worry about sweat damaging your earbuds while working out. The Pixel Buds Pro sport IPX4 certification, while the Buds 2 Pro have slightly better IPX7 protection. They also make the included touch controls easier to access since they sit almost flush with your ear, while the Pixel Buds Pro tend to stick out a bit.īoth pairs offer water and sweat protection. They’re smaller, round and fit so perfectly in your ears that it feels like you’re wearing nothing at all. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, meanwhile, look a lot more like traditional earbuds. Plus, they have a matte finish so they’ll stay in your ears easier than glossy buds do. I’ve worn them for hours on end and my ears never got tired. They’re a lot longer than most other earbuds, and they slot into your ears a bit differently, but the second you’re wearing them, you’ll be surprised with how they feel. From a design perspective, the Pixel Buds Pro are deceptively comfortable. ![]()
