The verdict

The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 are an excellent Pixel phone companion at launch, offering a slew of useful improvements and features that the original Pixel Buds Pro do not. Though the new tuning might not satisfy bassheads, the EQ presets are good enough to handle just about any preference. For $229, this might be a tall ask, but many people will love these earbuds.
