No shortages of midrange ears with good sound cancellation (ANC). The only problem is to find one that gives a good amount of money. Google follows that purpose for Pixel Buds 2A – and do what is right, but not great, work.
Pixel Buds 2A is a perfectly appropriate pair of MidRange Earvuds. They do certain things well with other things bad. You will love or hate them. I’ve been using Pixel’s ears 2A Sunday; Here’s what I read.

The good Earluds of Earluds-and-Stem has its own interest. Pixel Buds designed for sitting almost within your Earlbe completely. That is the design that I love you personally, although there is clear shortcomings.
The main reason I love them: size. Pixel Buds 2a is small enough to sleep on your side with it. Your mile will vary depending on your ear, but I found that I can sleep in it. There is pressure of stress in the ear when I do, but it doesn’t look good.
Without decrease, these characters are good for about seven hours of playing with one money, and other two offenses in a small case equally. The church I used, I never charged the case – and was a case of 35% as I wrote. I’m not the hardest Earbud user, and often, your mileage will vary.

Disadvantages: Sticks sticking to your ears touches are critical. This can cause problems when you reach the top to oppress the sprout back to your ear … and stop your music or turn out the ANC. And there is no way to fix the volume of bunds by touching. You can tell Google / Gemini to do it, but that’s the best work, which is very annoying.
Pixel Buds 2a Sound and The ANC is strong

The perfect sound of these letters is beautiful. In addition to the box, you find a beautiful tone in moderation, or there is a small little bass than I loved so much. Google provides five eq band of EQ to use to repair audio. I usually usually belong to 9 to 9 band eq fan, but you could no longer lower the sound.
One received the addition of these letters, which are not in the past generation, is the ANC. I felt wonderful for the price consideration. You do not decided everything, to be sure, but it is certainly different.
During my review, the office in my lower rate flooded from the HVAC system, 3D printer, and washer and Dryer, everything runs at the same time. Most of the sound is canceled. That was very surprised.
The obvious mode is valid again. There is a small case tone when you speak, which can be Tad annoying. But across, I do not have complaints in visual mode.
These ears are not very good to clear the sound of the air when riding the bike (yes, you should not ride the bike with the ANC open: Do not try this at home). However, buds do good work in completing the air sound to callers. Despite the wondrous sound I found on the phone, the person I called I didn’t know and that I was in a bicycle. So there is that.

Pixel Bud is easy to watch: Heart Health Details You Mandatory. This is a factor to be formed on Android, and unawared to all the working app You can be ears. It can tell you in real time how your sound is, and how it sounds happening later.
That’s a good feature, but Google doesn’t get very enough with it. What I’d like to see is the widget you can put on your home screen that gives you the same information in real time so you can see you.
Of course, this feature is buried within app settings; It is very necessary to look forward. I would like you very much if Google doesn’t make it so easy to ignore.
Controls are limited

One animal of the peeve I have with these characters (other guns that do the same thing) limit what you can do with contact controls. You can control pixel bucks 2a with short and long map in buds, right, without a problem with accidentally stop your music. But you cannot control what those taps do, without a long tap.
One tap is set up your music, twice taps forwarded and Triple Paip back. You can control how tap and hold on – or turn the ANC / off or call Gemini, but that’s the only way you have.
I would like the ability to prepare your controls even if you want. For Buds, I would like to double the left / right to unlock the volume down or up, and on the right left left / right to cross / forward. But it’s not just an option. That is wrong. Are my slogans; Let me control yet I want.
As in Airpods Pro 3, and other guns such as OnePlus Buds Pro 3, controls settings of Bluetooth – but Google automatically adds “app” to access those settings. I put “the app” by scans because it is basically a shortcut to the same settings. Certainly, but it is not the entire app.

In 2025, the product cannot be removed without having some kind of AI formed inside. The AI here, the Gemini, is usually high with Apple Intelligence – but the Apple’s Apple’s AI will be able to directly use functions, such as the ANC opening.
Gemini on Buds cannot do that, which is strange. Gemini can regulate your smart devices, provide the multitude of information, or receive directions. But the ANC, apparently, are not on the table. This seems to be a plane in the face of gemini to turn the volume up and down (active, in a way). Using Google Buds to reach AI’s no doesn’t make it superior to other Earbuds responding to “Google.”
The rest of the decision

Pixel Buds 2A weight at $ 129: All right, but no wonderful price for what you get. I love the sound and ANC’s quality, but any collection of ears you buy is about $ 100 to have a good sound with the ANC.
The good mode of artificial is helping, but the lack of wireless charging is most difficult to ignore in this price. There are many good options or less than that price with those features and wireless charges otherwise.
The main thing these characters visit their competitors, which is very small, healthy the battery (processing of their battery), and the fact that they are well with your Google Tick … if you have one. The Heal Health Feature is not another set of the Earbuds I have tested, and Google should create for that and do it as looking forward to.
If these things are all things that are completely seeking in the ear, then these are your letters. But if you don’t want to be interested in small buds, or you want the power to control your volume by touching (more important to me than ahead / back) and better options.
Finally, Google needs to insert wireless charging or bring the price down to $ 99 to really press in this space. Being young and you have a “G” in a bud is not enough.
