The Pixel Buds Pro were one of my favorite buds for a couple of years, and then the Pixel Buds Pro 2 displaced them on that throne thanks to their smaller size, more comfortable fit, and the super cool twist-to-fit feature that gives me two different fits with one pair of buds.
I never thought another pair of buds would take over the Buds Pro 2 this soon, but Google has surprised me with its new Pixel Buds 2a (). I expected these to become a secondary pair of buds I keep at home for short listening sessions, not the buds I take with me everywhere, but they’re so good that I don’t find myself really missing anything about my Pixel Buds Pro 2. And for nearly half the price? It’s a steal, especially for any Pixel user.
