Sure, you can find an amazing Christmas deal on Apple AirPods 2 ($60 off at Amazon) right now, but what about a pair of smart earbuds for us Android fans? Google‘s Pixel Buds Pro are on sale at Amazon for $119.99 (down from $189.99), and they give Apple’s AirPods a serious run for the money. Pixel Buds Pro work great with every phone (even iPhone), giving you cool new features – like conversation detection – for a fraction of the price of Apple’s buds.
Of course, if you have a Pixel phone, the Pixel Buds Pro also have the amazing spatial audio feature that Apple‘s AirPods Pro share with the iPhone. The Pixel 8 Pro is on sale now for $799, the same low price we saw around Black Friday, and the Pixel 8 is also back to its low price of $549.
Even if you don’t have a Pixel phone, you still get the noice cancellation, plus the new conversation detection feature, which pauses your music and turns on transparency mode when you start talking to somebody. The Pixel Buds Pro have great battery life, and the case charges wirelessly. I drop mine onto the same charger intended for AirPods, it works with no trouble.
If you have an iPhone, the AirPods Pro are worth considering for the spatial audio feature (especially if an Apple Vision Pro is in your future), but everybody else would probably be just as happy spending much less and getting the great Pixel Buds Pro instead. They even come in some cool colors.
