Google Pixel Buds 2: Google Pixel Buds 2nd generation has been creating a buzz since they were first announced in the October event Made by Google. Recently, on March 25 The generation Google Pixel Buds passed through the FCC ahead of expected retail availability.

Here we provide you all the features of the Google pixel buds you need to know. We also compare it with its potential rival Apple Airpods Pro.

Design (Google Pixel Buds 2)

The best part is this time the pods will be literally wireless just like the AirPods, the Sony WF-1000XM3, and the Powerbeats Pro.

They come in a very sleek and compatible case with wireless charging. the case resembles much with Apple AirPods pro case. The case has a fine magnetic cap and a LED light to show the battery. It has USB-C with a matte finish which feels excellent in the hand.

Google said that the design is based on scans of “thousands of ears”, and should deliver a “customizable, secure fit”. A small earfin – which Google calls a ‘stabilizer arc’ – should keep the buds snugly in your ears. That means they won’t come out while you are running or jogging. Pixel Buds are also sweat and water-resistant too, so they should be fine for use during workouts.

Sound And Speakers (Google Pixel Buds 2)

The most innovative feature in the pod is the spatial vent. It is present on earbuds lets the noise around you in, but only to a certain degree. That means it gets rid of that sealed-in feeling that most headphones with this design have. And get this, the pods will respond to the surroundings. That is, the volume will dynamically adjust as you move from silent environment of your house to noisy streets.

According to Google, they’ll come with custom-designed 12mm dynamic drivers, which should provide a punchy, powerful sound; dynamic drivers displace lots of air to create vibrations (and therefore soundwaves), and are usually compact and lightweight.
