The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2: Hightech with small weaknesses!

The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 are the latest stars in the headphone sky! With impressive technical features that are expected in this price range, they offer a lightning -fast connection thanks to “Google Fast Pair” and practical wear detection. This clever function automatically pauses the music when the buds are removed from the ear and starts again as soon as they are used. In addition, the Bluetooth multipoint function enables simultaneous connecting to two devices-perfect to switch between the film on the tablet and an incoming call on the smartphone!

The touch control of the buds is another highlight. With simple gestures, the reproduction can be controlled, skipping songs or adapting the volume. But not everything is gold that shines: Some users report that the buds move slightly in the ear when painting over the surface, which is better solved in other models. The Bluetooth range could also be better. The connection is already unstable in the next room, and it breaks off at a distance of about 13 meters. Compared to other models, such as the Jabra Elite 8 Active, this is disappointing.

software features and use

Software -based, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 offer a visual representation of the volume level and an analysis over a longer period of time, which warns of overloading the ears. The associated app contains an equalizer with useful default settings and five adjustable ribbons. However, the app does not exist for iOS or iPados, which limits the use on Apple devices somewhat, the buds are still compatible.

The testers, Tomasz Czarnecki and Reinhard Scholl, as well as editor Fabian von Thun, have put the buds through their paces. The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 are an exciting product that is noticeable through innovative functions and some weaknesses!
