The good news is, these sound way better than the previous generation of Pixel Buds Pro, with upgraded drivers and better processing. They have a wide soundstage, particularly for wireless earbuds, that our reviewer Parker Hall says provides an energetic and joyous listening experience and handles a variety of genres with grace. Google made some big improvements to the active noise-canceling as well, boosting it to levels that almost match Bose and Sony, the current top tier of ANC.
Google has begun selling replacement cfor the Pixel Buds 2a and Pixel Buds Pro 2 via its online store. Until now, users with a damaged or lost pair of true wireless earbuds (TWS) have been required to fill out a self-service form on the Google Support page to obtain a replacement. However, this process has now been simplified, with replacement components directly available for purchase via the Google Store website in India, the US, and select other markets.
