Google’s new Pixel Buds Pro 2 seem better in every way that matters

The wing fins are back for a more stable fit.

The company claims that the Pixel Buds Pro 2 deliver noise cancellation that’s twice as powerful as the first-gen pair and now do a better job of reducing higher-frequency sounds. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 use Bluetooth 5.4 and are relatively futureproofed with LE Audio support, though they still lack a higher-bitrate codec like LDAC or AptX Adaptive. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are shipping on September 26th, so it’ll be a few weeks before I’m able to test them and reach a verdict on those ANC and sound quality improvements.
