Google’s first true wireless earphones with active noise reduction, the Pixel Buds Pro, are already on sale in Taiwan, with a price of 5,990 yuan in fog gray and graphite black, which is 2,700 yuan more expensive than last year’s Pixel Buds A-Series; is it worth it? It is worth starting, and the free 3C technology channel has also conducted a preemptive test.

Compared with last year’s Pixel Buds A-Series, the Pixel Buds Pro is significantly more “chubby” because of the addition of active noise reduction, and it has a “headphone feel” when wearing it. According to official data, a single headset weighs about 1 gram. . If you are a user of the original Pixel Buds A-Series, switching to the Pixel Buds Pro will take a little getting used to at first.
The operation method is the same as touch operation, and the left and right earphones can be touched, such as sliding the volume forward, etc., or assisting with Google Assistant.

The biggest highlight of Pixel Buds Pro is that Google is equipped with active noise reduction for the first time, and has a built-in exclusive 6-core sound effect chip. The measured noise reduction effect and call quality are very good. At the same time, the ambient sound mode is provided, but there is no multi-segment adjustment in the noise reduction part, only on or off.
In addition, a volume equalizer is specially added, which will automatically adjust the pitch according to the volume; support for spatial audio will be added in the fall.
Google says the Pixel Buds Pro also feature Silent Seal technology that adjusts to the shape of the ear to eliminate as much noise as possible. The built-in sensor in the earphone can also monitor the pressure in the ear canal, reducing the feeling of stuffiness in the ear. However, this part varies from person to person, and those who have started will experience the effect for themselves.

The Pixel Buds Pro also feature multi-point connectivity, automatically switching between two Bluetooth devices, including laptops, tablets, TVs, and Android and iOS phones. The advantage of practical application is that if you end the video call on the laptop and prepare to go out immediately, the headset will automatically switch back to the headset.

As for power, the overall battery life of the Pixel Buds Pro is about 11 hours; the active noise reduction function can be used for up to 7 hours, and the charging box supports wireless charging. This time the charging box is also white. It should be noted that the material is quite easy to get dirty. If you put it in a bag, remember to protect it.
Looking at the true wireless earphone market in the second half of the year, in addition to Google, Apple and Samsung will also have new products, including Apple AirPods Pro 2 and Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, which are all positioned as flagships.
