Pixel buds a series is good for gym as they somehow tolerate sweat. The buds 2 do not tolerate heavy sweaters like myself, so I use those outside the gym.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->If same price i’d go for the pixels simply for a better microphone, the microphone on the earfun is horrible. It’s only good in a quiet environment, as soon as there’s wind it falls apart even while just walking.
r/Earbuds • Which Earbuds should i buy? Earfun Air Pro 4 or Google Pixel Buds 2 ->Pixel buds 2 with 9 pro. They're super comfortable, anc is good, sound quality is fantastic, volume took a big jump from the first iteration and they work seamlessly with phone. Battery life is great, and case battery gets me through about 2 weeks before a recharge. Transparency and conversation detection works a lot better than I expected. Only complaint is the touch pad on the ear bud causes songs to skip or pause when I need to adjust it while I'm in the gym. Seems impossible to touch it at all without activating some kind of control. But I've enjoyed the experience and highly recommend.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->Google pixel buds 2. I have an Android phone and the multi-point and synergy with my phone while using my deck is hard to beat.
r/SteamDeck • What Earbuds do you use ->I have the Sony's and they are just ok. I almost like my pixel buds 2 better, but the Sony's have a better microphone and I spend a ton of time on the phone.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->Probably 20% worse than the Sony's. Pretty good overall.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->I went from the pixel buds 2 (from 2020) to the pixel buds pro 2 and am so happy with that decision. They feel so much more comfortable and sound so much better. I'm sure there are better sounding buds out there, but I love having Google assistant on them.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->I have a pair of the Pixel Buds 2 since launch and no issues whatsoever. I did buy a case for them if that makes any difference. I love how they feel in the ears and the noise cancelling and other features are top notch.
r/pixelbuds • Pixel Buds Pro 2 vs Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra Buds (what reviewers fail to mention) ->No I don't experience any pressure. As for use nearly daily anywhere for an hour up to four hours depending on activities.
r/pixelbuds • Pixel Buds Pro 2 vs Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra Buds (what reviewers fail to mention) ->I have a pair of the pixel buds 2, and while they're good, my Jabra Elite 7 Active has better ANC. Oddly enough, they fit better for me too.
r/pixel_phones • What is the best noise cancelling earbuds? ->my OG pixel buds from 2020. best design!
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->Pixel Buds 2 (I got them for music with my phone but use them with SteamDeck and my TVs often)
