Google's $200 Pixel Buds Pro vs. Apple's $249 AirPods Pro

The $200 buds pro are designed to compete with the AirPods pro We tested out the Pixel Buds Pro to see if they were as good as the $250 AirPods Pro.

The Pixel Buds Pro are more affordable than the AirPods Pro and offer a similar feature set with active noise cancellation, a transparency mode, and Find My Device app.

The earbuds have Silicone tips that fit into the ears for a tight seal to cut down on outside noise. We were impressed with the noise cancellation capabilities of the Silent Seal feature that was advertised by the search engine. Spatial audio will be added later this year, but it isn't currently available.

It's hard to tell if the transparency mode is on because it's not as good as the one on the AirPods Pro. There is an app that comes with the Pixel Buds Pro so you can tailor the sound to fit your needs, but the app is only available onAndroid devices and the EQ adjustments aren't set to be available until later in the year.

The shorter body of the Pixel Buds Pro make them lessobtrusive in the ears. To fit well in the ear and to be comfortable for long periods of listening, the Pixel Buds Pro has built-in sensors that measure the pressure in the ear canal.

The small body of the Pixel Buds Pro makes it fit in a little case that adds more battery life. The Buds Pro have up to 31 hours of battery life, while the AirPods Pro only have about 24 hours of battery.

The Pixel Buds Pro are solid earbuds that have a lot to offer, but they may not be appealing to Apple users because they can't adjust the sound without anANDROID device. The next-gen AirPods Pro are rumored to be coming out later this year, so it will be interesting to see how the new Buds compare to them.

Lossless audio support and an updated H1 chip are rumored to be included in the new AirPods Pro 2. With a full rundown of what's coming in our guide, we're expecting sound improvements and improved Find My.
