![]() ![]() The case features wireless charging on the bottom and adds another 18 hours to the buds’ on-board five hours of life - assuming you keep the active noise canceling off. The compact size makes for a nice, small carrying case you can easily slip in your pocket, alongside your massive folding phone. ![]() The downside of the rounded design is it compromises some of the touch surface area, making it difficult to get the right gestures in - especially when running and sweaty. These are among those that are quite good at staying out of their own way. Each design has its own pluses and minuses. The Buds Pro also stayed in place fairly well on a run, though if exercise is your main use for a pair of buds, I’d recommend going in on something purpose-built like the Beats Fit. As usual, I’d recommend Galaxy device owners pick up a pair of Galaxy Buds if they’re looking for the most frictionless existence. The standard Buds 2 are currently priced at $100 less on Samsung’s site. The latter, mind you, is also one of the bigger selling points for the Pro upgrade over the standard Galaxy Buds 2. You can certainly pair them the standard Bluetooth way with any phone, but you’ll lose certain key features - including two of the biggest new differentiators: auto device switching and 24-bit audio. They’re a great pair of headphones that work better with Galaxy devices. Devices that are designed together tend to work better together.Ĭertainly that’s the case here with the Pixel Buds. For most people with most phones, I generally recommend purchasing buds from the same company that made your handset. That’s essentially how the market is now. You can’t blame the fact that they’re built specifically for Samsung devices. Maybe it’s the fact that they’ve always kind of been quietly good and therefore not deserving of an overhaul like, say, the Pixel Buds. Perhaps the fact that they’re nearly always launched as a kind of afterthought to flashier phablets and foldables.
