If you’re still deciding on a tech gift for Christmas and the holidays, wireless earbuds are a great option, especially with current sales. The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 are now priced at $168, which is $60 off (26%) their usual $229 price.

This matches the record-low deal we saw during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The discount applies to Hazel, Moonstone, Peony Pink, and Porcelain colorways.

Why Buy the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2

The Pixel Buds Pro 2 (review) were introduced in October last year as an upgrade to the original Pixel Buds Pro. They are considered among the best noise-canceling earbuds for Android users, particularly for those with Pixel phones.

They retain the in-ear closed-back form factor but are more discreet and lighter than before, offering a more comfortable fit. They are also more rugged, with IP54 dust and water resistance. Touch-sensitive controls allow quick playback adjustments and mode switching.

Inside, they have been reengineered for clearer audio quality that rivals competing earbuds. The sound profile is more balanced, with improved treble while keeping bass emphasized.

Noise cancellation is stronger, effectively blocking a wider range of sounds from conversations to low-frequency noise. Call quality is also improved thanks to upgraded microphones. There are also software enhancements, including Gemini integration for natural conversations, adaptive audio, and conversation awareness. A new loud noise protection feature automatically reduces harmful sound spikes.

Battery life is longer too. You get 8 hours of playback on the buds and up to 30 hours with the case. Charging can be done wired or wirelessly, with the latter especially useful if your smartphone supports reverse wireless charging.
