Don’t Wait for New Pixel Buds When You Can Save $40 Off the Pixel Buds Pro 2 Right Now

Save $40: The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are down to $189, a solid $40 discount that gets you flagship features like AI-powered assistance, excellent active noise cancellation and all-day comfort without paying full price.

With chatter about Google’s next Pixel Buds picking up, it can be tempting to wait for the next big release. But if you need a premium pair of wireless earbuds today, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 remain one of the best values around.

The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 combine premium sound with smart AI features in a compact, comfortable design built for daily use. The twist-to-adjust stabilizer helps keep each earbud securely in place during workouts while remaining comfortable enough for all-day listening.

The buds are powered by Google’s Tensor chip, so they deliver immersive audio and Active Noise Cancellation that blocks up to twice as much outside noise as the previous generation. The adaptive audio feature automatically adjusts the amount of ambient sound you hear, making it easier to stay aware when walking through busy areas.

The custom drivers produce punchy bass and crisp highs, while spatial audio with head tracking creates an immersive listening experience. With up to 30 hours of battery life with the charging case, they’re built to keep up through long days or work, travel and workouts. According to CNET headphone expert David Carnoy, “These buds deliver excellent sound, strong noise-muffling capabilities and a robust feature set, particularly for Android and Google Pixel phone users.”

Alternatives to consider

If you prefer over-the-ear headphones instead of earbuds, you’re probably familiar with the Apple AirPods Max 2. Carnoy noted that the “powerful H2 chip brings a host of new features and some performance upgrades.” Not to mention, we deemed these headphones the best premium wireless headphones for Apple fans.

It’s rare to see a discount on Apple’s top-tier AirPods Max 2, but right now you can snag a pair for $449.
