Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 offered at $189 as features rival pricier alternatives

The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are now available at a $40 discount, boasting advanced features like Active Noise Cancellation and spatial audio, making them a compelling choice for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

Google’s Pixel Buds Pro 2 are currently available for $189, a $40 cut from the launch price, at a time when some buyers may be tempted to wait for the next model. CNET says the discount makes the earbuds an appealing option for anyone who wants a premium pair now rather than holding out for the company’s next release.

The appeal is not just the lower price. Google positions the Pixel Buds Pro 2 as a compact, comfortable set of wireless earbuds with a twist-to-adjust stabiliser for a more secure fit, along with Adaptive Audio, Active Noise Cancellation with Silent Seal 2.0 and spatial audio with head tracking. Google also says the buds are powered by the Tensor A1 chip and can deliver up to 30 hours of listening time with the charging case.

The feature set is aimed at people who want more than basic playback. According to Google’s product material, the earbuds support hands-free interaction with Gemini Live, while reviews cited by CNET and B&H Photo point to strong noise blocking, clear sound and useful extras such as multipoint connections and clear calling. B&H Photo also highlights the 11mm drivers and a high-frequency chamber designed to smooth out treble.

For shoppers weighing alternatives, Android Central notes that Google’s newer Pixel Buds 2a are cheaper at $129 but give up some of the Pro model’s higher-end features, including wireless charging, better ANC and some advanced audio controls. That makes the current Pixel Buds Pro 2 deal more compelling for buyers who want Google’s fuller feature set without paying the full $229 list price.
