Made by Google 2024 just wrapped up, and the event featured a ton of exciting new announcements from the tech giant, including the new Pixel 9 smartphones, the Pixel Watch 3, and more. Also new to the mix are the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2, which are currently available to pre-order directly from Google, Best Buy, and Amazon.
If you pick up a pair at any of the retailers above, you’ll also receive a $30 gift card to their respective storefront free of charge. As for the headphones, you’ll get those when they officially release on Sept. 26.
The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 promise to be better than their predecessor in just about every way. Most notably, Google’s new Tensor A1 Chip allows for much better audio processing and active noise-cancellation (apparently it’s two times stronger than the previous Pixel Buds). Battery life gets a boost, and a big emphasis has been placed on enhancing the overall comfort and fit of the earbuds. They’re smaller, lighter, and more secure than ever thanks to their twist-to-adjust stabilizer. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 also have more precise location tracking for those who always seem to misplace their case. Finally, the Buds Pro 2 have also been equipped with plenty of hands-free Google Gemini AI functions, including live conversations with the virtual assistant.
