Google's Pixel Buds Pro are the real deal, and I think they might make me put away my AirPods Pro for good! Here's my review of them and how they stack up against the Pixel Buds A-Series from last year.

The other advantage of the Pro is multi point connection, you can connect to two devices
That's really good to know. My Sony WF1000XM4s does not and it's frustrating when working. I want it to be connected to my phone and laptop at the same time.
Jabra does it with more features
Thats a common feature with most expensive wireless earbuds
@@alexsmith6271 what extra features
@@alexsmith6271 not just jabra... all the competing buds sub 200 are better.. but they are still selling out due to brand loyalty
great review. you forgot about multipoint connectivity. i think that would be the biggest selling point, being able to connect two devices simultaneously without having to manually switch every time.
I'm so glad I bought the regular pixel buds a couple years back. They actually improved with updates (sync and cutting out issues). The range is incredible. Battery isn't the best in the world but it's plenty. I understand why they discontinued them but it's still a bit sad there's no mid range option. Just cheap or pro. I have no desire for the pro as I'm very content with the OG's, but if something happened to them I'd for sure get the pros.
I probably consider those the mid range option, and the A-series the budget option
I was able to get the originals marked down to $99 when they announced the As. Helps me feel better about the purchase, but I do have to rotate between those and my Sony XM3s to get around battery life.
Maybe it's just Australia but they discontinued the regular pixel buds
@@therealarien nope, Google discontinued them when the As came through.
The Pixel buds 2 were around the same price though. It's only a 20 dollar difference now with good improvements.
Such a great review! Also love this setup. Lighting and color is onnn point, my guy
Thanks man!
Great video, what you miss is also the mic quality. I had the Pixel buds gen 2, and they had amazing mic quality. You could talk in windy condition, and the person on the other side wouldn't bat an eyelid. With the pixel buds a, the mic quality isn't as good. A lot of ambient noise seeps through. The person on the other end can hear you doing everything and it gets annoying for them. So apart from the wireless chargin, ANC, there is also the mic quality that makes a big difference on the pixel buds pro's side.
I enjoyed the video.. Awesome explanation
I need new buds enjoyed the review and you're wearing mkbhd merch I'm subscribing bro 🔥
Definitely love the quality bump above the Series A Buds! (Coming from a iPhone user lol)
OMG you're listening to Hans Zimmer's wonderful score for Wonder Woman 1984! 🤩 Subscribed and liked immediately.
Hey Mark can you share what features are missing from these when paired with an iPhone?
Quick question when you take the buds out of the case and put in your ear, do the buds announce the battery level? I have that feature on my Sony wf-1000xm3s
Hey Mark , its a request .. plz make a tech rewind episode on Pixel 5 in 2022, it would be great ...😄💚
That's a great idea (as I watch and comment on my Pixel 5a)
Paul’s Dreams from Dune soundtrack, I see you’re a man of culture :)
The eq is now available! Yessir
Thanks for the video.
This is probably outside the scope of your normal videos, but would you consider reviewing the reliability of some Bluetooth earbuds? I've had several pair now that have altogether stopped working apparently due to the charging port breaking down in just a few weeks. Before I shell out big money for something like these, I'd hope to know they won't have the same issue.
Planning to get one this fall. Any suggestions on which color to pick? Not a big fan of vibrant ones and don't want charcoal either, so debating between fog and lemongrass.
Congrats on 200k
Thank you!
Love the shirt
Good review, how are the onboard mics for phone/video calls?
I have the answer to your question
My bol sac
Hey, this might be a weird question but what wallpaper(s) did he (Mark Spurrell) use on his previous video for the samsung galaxy s20?
Ps: thanks if u reacted :)
I'm looking for really good earbuds that sit over the ear rather than inside it. All In-ear earbuds are uncomforable for me. It seems nobody is making the older style that sit outside the ear canal anymore and it's frustrating
The battery life is what sold me, particularly to replace my "11-hr" Samsung Buds Plus after the right one lost it's volume along with persistent issues getting them to charge in their case. So far, my only complaint on the Pixel Buds Pro is occasional uneven battery drain, and ANC turned on seems to drain a LOT more power than they say it should (I somehow lost 2 hrs of of battery one day after only 30 mins of ANC turned on, and really haven't bothered with it since).
Do you ever clean your earbuds?
Most of those problems result from not good hygiene and cleaning.
@@thetechrealist yeah, I kept them pretty clean. I noticed the volume problem on the one bud after I had dropped it on a hard surface, figured maybe something happened to the driver inside from the impact. Also kept the connection points clean, but would often discover the buds at 20% and the case at 100%, even after the buds were in the case overnight.
@@ackthbbft Oof, with ho much technology is packed into an earbuds, I wouldn't be surprised if dropping it was the reason it got messed up 👍
do they block ambient sound on phone calls? I can't make phonecalls basically anywhere in public on my airpods pro because every sound around me gets picked up and the person I'm talking to can't hear me at all.
The Waveform shirt!!!
is that MKBHD's t-shirt? looks dope
I just bought soundcore liberty 3 pro, and I haven't really taken them out of my ears other than the time when I have to recharge them. For $97 refurbished with 2 years warranty or $130 brand new, I don't see any reason to replace them any time soon. Wish Google could put some real magic/creative features into it next time.
I really like the Pros but I do miss the wing from the A Series those felt more comfortable for me.
I have a pair of Pixel Buds A that I like, but find uncomfortable after wearing for a while. My Wyze Buds Pro, however, I can keep in my ears for hours at a time without issue. I feel like not nearly enough people talk about them. They're $80, similar shape to airpods (in black), are comfortable, have ANC, wireless charging, and decent battery life. The biggest drawback is the single point connection. They can only connect to one device at a time. I still highly recommend them over pretty much every other earbuds I've tried. They have been my daily drivers until I got the Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones.
For me it was the opposite i switched back to airpods 3 i decided i really cant take the plugged up ear feeling, the pix pros were just too heavy and uncomfortable the a series were the most comfy for a while but still ears would sweat and itch after a few minutes of Wear, abd i am using a pixel 6 pro so i loose a lot of features but i deal for the comfort.
Anyone heard pixel buds pro vs echo buds 2nd gen? I like the ability for a hands free voice assistant, esp handy when bike riding, etc. just wanted to compare fit, sound quality, etc. Usually neckband earbuds are great for those sorts of usage scenarios, bike, motorcycle, etc.
Why did the remove the dongle things like there is on the A series? That is my favorite part of the bud?
Unrelated to the pixel buds but your beard rocks bro!
I have the original pixel buds which do have wireless charging and we’re only missing the noise cancellation and are still good
how would you say these compare with huawei's freebuds pro 2?
Is the seal doing a good job at blocking ambiant noise?
That Dune soundtrack 🔥🔥🔥
surprised to see all the effort and not testing call mic quality, very important in todays age for many.....heard buds pro are superior on the boat with wind to airpods pro! what an advantage not to be lited here, comparing to wireless charging...
Agreed. Seems like many reviewers skip the call quality part.
Drop a dislike 👎
i have the samsungs buds pro and i love em but they keep falling out like every 30 secs. i bought them for the gym cuz they are sweat resistant. do u guys thing i should switch to the google ones pro?
started talking about the airpods pro in the beginning then spent the video comparing pixel buds pro to the pixel buds A series.. You could've compared it to the aipods pro instead aswell. Or is it a sponsored video? :)))))))
So how are these better than airpods pro that you finally made the switch. How is the mic quality? How is multipoint support? How easy is pairing? Can you use all feature with iphones?
So now airpods pro 2 is available, which one do you prefer??
At first glance of the thumbnail I thought Eddy Burback was reviewing tech suddenly.
Sir could u pls do a latency test while playing BGMI/PUBG in pixel 6 series mobile with pixel buds pro😇
I had the a series and love the sound, but they cut out to much, hope these fix that
I had that issue a month ago but the latest update seems to have fixed it
Is the hising sound gone in the pixel buds pro? I have the pixel buds 2 and the hiss is so annoying.
Is there a eq already?
I don’t do edm . I do prog metal rock. How’s that sound?
Got my pixel buds 2020 don't know whether to get them
loved it , keep it up❤❤
Anyone know how these compare to Sony Linkbuds S?
Yeah these things are super comfortable, I picked up the foam ear tips and I can't get these to fall out of my ears. Long battery life. Anc could be a bit better but it's not really bad enough to complain. I'm pretty happy with the money I spent
Hey great review but I would also add that the Pixel Buds Series A can have issues with connecting to the Bluetooth which can be very frustrating. I hope this isn't a problem with the pro series, other than that I love my Series A's and I can't wait to upgrade.
I have both. LOL people always complain they could hardly hear me on my Airpods Pro 2 (online meetings), even in quiet office. Tho so many reviews still named AP2 as best for calls.
Are they small enough to sleep on them? Thats the only reason i have airpods pro
it worth just for the multi device connectivity feature 👌🏻
Is galaxy buds 2 compatible with pixel 6a
It feels weird seeing you in an MKBHD shirt. Because you should have your own shirts! 200k subs man! Congrats!
Thank you! I do have my own, I just don't have many and I don't promote them much.
@@MarkSpurrell don't be afraid. Put those ltt plugs in. They may sell!
@@MarkSpurrell you should never promote any other brand. It doesn't make sense, if you're a brand, you should always wear your own brand.
I thought the opposite I said damn that’s dope he’s supporting another creator. Salute
How's the phone call quality tho?
What app are you using at the 4:54 part of the video?? is that spotify?
That's UA-cam Music, UA-cam's music app.
Still wating for a model to beat buds + endurance... But this pixel seems really nice
What about call quality?!
I miss the string between the two buds that they had in the first generation version. It was so nice to be able to hold them around your neck like over ear headphones.
YOOOO that mkbhd t-shirt
Yeah but not a apple fan but the September event is coming up we should wait if the airpods pro 2 and then compare the 2 but if it's not in the sep then use these
Can you please re-visit the Iphone Se 2020 🥺
Ive had the 2nd gen pixel buds for two years, and they cut out CONSTANTLY at the gym. Now I recently switched to from a pixel to an iphone and suddenly my buds only work one ear at a time. I want the pixel buds to be good, but I've been burned bad.
A series were better
Wish they still had the wings though. Those things locked them into my weird ears and were great at the gym. The pro and other brands just don't stay in my ears well enough.
What I and everyone loves about airpods is the microphone.
Are the pixel buds pro just as good or better??
can u review the s21 again.......please Spurell please
You can always EQ with Wavlet
That MKBHD t-Shirt❤️
wait the A-series dont have swiping gestures I think - thats actually a great difference
Is he wearing a waveform something shirt
*I skipped the A keeping my original Pixel Buds & glad I waited for the Pro, they're a very welcomed upgrade.*
MKBHD merch.. love to see it.
Wondering if it is possible to use only one side? expecially for a call
Even though I'm not an apple fan, I have Airpods (2). I had earbuds (they were cheaper ~€50) but it felt pretty bad for me, sometimes it would rip my eardrums loose. The only thing I miss about earbuds is that it blocks most of the sound. With my Airpods in I can hear most sounds around me if they are loud enough.
So did you give up your AirPods
can I sleep with it to cancel snoring?
cool shirt
Nice shirt
Apparently you haven't tried Soundcore's best.
For me, I think they were worth the $200. However, I don't be grudge anyone who want to wait until they are a little cheaper, but it's going to take some time since Google is not known for reducing their prices often. However, I had the original pixel buds, the Series- A and now the Pro. I think the ANC is top tier. I ranked them below. Bose and Sony but above the Sennheiser. It's battery life, multipoint connection and the better sound was enough for me. The multipoint connection switches excellently with other mobile devices that are Android. It connects well to a laptop but switching from one device to another isn't as good.
They might be worth 200 compared to the A series... since those are overpriced but not compared to apple and samsung and esp not compared to the lesser known brands
I bought these . They are awesome
mark , you talk so slow, i have to double playback speed... did you test connectivity distance?
On driver size; Bigger is better, always. It means the music is louder, and the bass is cleaner. That's not an opinion, its engineering fact. However, as with all devices, build quality is important. So for headphones, you want big drivers and top shelf materials/coils. Essentially, you want loud and clear, on all ranges. So while yes, the driver for the buds are clean, them being smaller is not a plus nor is it good. I want better materials/build and bigger drivers. Now again, that's not to say you can't make small drivers built like chad's, Sony's XM4's are a beautiful example of a 6mm driver made with some of the bleeding edge tech, that can handle 12mm base....
Again, build construction over size...however, in google's case, they're not using that tech. So for $200, save up, and or wait to get the Sony's, much better build, sound and quality of materials.
Strange that you prefer the sound quality compared to the A series. The 'This Is Tech Today' channel went into a lot of depth to demonstrate how much worse the Pros sound compared to the A Series.
you say their replacing your airpods, but how do the pixel buds work with an iphone?
I'm one of those people that almost never use many earbud features. The voice assistant (siri) won't work on an iphone, and neither will volume eq, but neither of those things bother me. As long as it has noise cancellation/transparency mode, and gesture support, I'm good.
what about microphone quality?
Average. Nothing special but still gets the job done.
Which part are you comparing with the Airpods Pro ?? not very helpful to consider buying Pixel buds Pro
The pixel pro's have great features and voice assistant integration, but personally, I find them uncomfortable and lacking in music sound quality.
I like the shirt
I found the pixel buds pro to feel.ultra premier, superb noise cancellation and what not. just the slums out of the box wasn't for me. someay love it , I didn't..And without a manual eq at the moment I couldn't adjust tou liking. I tried some third party eq apps and some made improvement but I decided to see them and get the latest Sony in ears..which I love and can play around with their eq. I'll probably get the pixel bud pris again when they have an update to spatial audio and the eq because they are so good in other ways. look at the magic apple can do.with the airpods pro. they're not the best sounding. bit apple manipulate the sound to make them decent from software enhancement
Between airpods pro and pixel buds pro, which one makes you feel more comfortable? I have small ears btw
As much as liked these, I had to return them cause they were slightly too big for my ears unfortunately
The battery life looks impressive but …ANC using less than half the battery? Suspicious.
Considering the AirPods Pro are 3 years old now and still have better ANC and transparency than these is telling. Surely ANC is the main reason to spend the extra on buds, so these seem like a bit of a fail.
Definitely an overpriced fail
are these the blue Pixel Buds Pro? They look white?
I am sad they didn't include a plain white version
They are the "frost" color. It's as close to white as you can get while still being slightly grey.
Help decide between Pixel buds pro, galaxy buds2 pro, freebuds pro 2.
Coming from galaxy buds pro 1 which used to hurt my ears.
P.D.: I have a Pixel 6 pro
Go with pixel buds then
Great video but after owning 3 pairs of pixel buds (the first was I had to return and then bought another pair when the returned pair broke) I will never, ever go back to pixel buds.
I travel allot for work and the buds always hiss and pop in my ear, alongside them disconnecting constantly. I feel they are the most comfortable headphones on the market, but having used apples ear buds and not once having connection issues I'm over google.
pixel buds vs galaxy buds, thank you.
