The verdict

Promising on paper, the Google Pixel Buds Pro brings active noise canceling (ANC) and a redesigned earbud to the table. The case now sports an IPX2 water-resistant build to go with the buds' IPX4 rating. The vastly improved battery life and noise canceling combined with the Google Assistant integration are the driving reasons to give this one a whirl.

✓Liked: ANC and Transparency mode, Hands-free Google Assistant access, Water resistant case and buds, Fast, wireless, and USB-C charging

✕Could be better: AAC and SBC codecs only, no aptX, Fit is a bit loose, Price, Missing features at launch
