Google Recently updated its line Wireless headphones High class model Pixel Buds Prowhich comes with active noise cancellation technology, a novelty for the brand, matching other offerings on the market such as Sony’s LinkBuds S or Samsung’s Galaxy Buds2 Pro.

A technology company used it 11mm dynamic speaker driver and three microphones in each earcup to develop the solution he first implemented in the Pixel Buds Active noise cancellation (ANC).

When you wear Buds Pro, ambient noise, such as cars coming from an open window or office colleagues typing, disappears, allowing you to concentrate more on what you’re doing. You can still hear it, for example, if someone is talking on the phone nearby, but it feels like it’s further away, like in another room.

The The isolation from external noise that it offers is achievedAnd it’s noticeable right away, just by holding one of the two headphones and pressing your finger on the surface, it leaves one ear “deaf” and allows you to test that this technology works. When you put the second earpiece on, the feeling is there Like being in a bubbleHowever, the voice is muffled.

The audio experience is also remarkable because Reproduces clear and nuanced sound, vocals and instruments and along with noise removal enhances the sense of immersion. The headphones are also equipped with a An ambient sound mode that lets in some noise from the outside.

Perhaps because of the size, the design falls a little short in our test when using these headphones. Can be customized for different size pads which comes with a box, but we found a problem with the headset itself.

From this point of view, The Buds Pro no longer have the pins that the A series have to guarantee greater supportBut what they offer instead is a fat body that may not sit well in the ear, or at least feel that way.

That said, and besides the fact that it was very noticeable that they were wearing headphones, We have experienced no accidentsHowever, the test did not involve physical activity such as going for a run.

Although not necessarily Another innovation is wireless charging (Qi standard) and general battery improvementThe battery life of the headphones reaches Seven hours with active noise cancellation and more than ten with it turned offAccording to some companies, it corresponds to what we experienced in the test.

In short, the Pixel Buds Pro are an ally for those moments when we need to focus on the task at hand and even the slightest noise interrupts and annoys us thanks to the rather successful active noise cancellation. With clear sound, good connectivity and autonomy, only the design can be a small point against it, although it’s all a matter of getting used to.
