Black Friday will bring huge discounts on all sorts of tech. But sometimes you just can’t wait, especially if you just lost your last pair of earbuds, or perhaps they no longer hold a charge. If you need a great set of noise-canceling wireless earbuds — and you use an Android phone — you may want to check out the latest deal on the Pixel Buds Pro 2. Google’s most recent pair of high-end wireless earbuds are currently on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and the Google Store for $169, which is $60 off their usual list price of $229. While not quite their lowest price to date ($160 during Prime Day in July), it’s pretty close.
In fact, if you’re looking at deals on the latest Pixel phones, this Pixel Buds Pro 2 discount might be especially compelling. Our reviewer called them “a compelling upgrade for Pixel users,” and praised their lightweight, small form factor, along with increased comfort and stability in the ear, so you can talk, walk, jog, or run and be confident that you won’t dislodge your buds. (In fact, they are still on our list of best earbuds.)
This model, which hit in late 2024, also offers good active noise cancellation and longer battery life than the previous version — up to 12 hours with ANC off, and up to eight hours with it on. One of the other great features is their transparency mode, which, according to the reviewer, matches Apple’s second-gen AirPods Pro in clarity and that illusion of not wearing earbuds at all. And they have great call performance, too, if you want to use them to actually make a phone call. While you can technically pair these with any Bluetooth device, such as an iPhone, but Pixel owners can enjoy spatial audio with head-tracking in select apps, including HBO and Netflix.
