Hey, Brandon, always appreciate your candor and the extensive testing that you do. I got the Buds Pro and was as underwhelmed by them upon first use, but the new firmware did fix quite a few issues I had run into - and as an added bonus, when paired with my Windows 11 computer, with a licensed copy of Dolby ATMOS audio, was able to make use of ATMOS through the Buds Pro. With that being said, listening to your tests, the Buds A had a thinner bass line in every track I listened to, the Pros always had a more robust, full bass line, especially with the reverb of really low end parts of the tracks. I never changed anything at all, leaving the Buds Pro connected to the PC and ATMOS enabled, and I then went back and listened to the songs again using my Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, and I distinctly heard the same difference. That being said, I have to say these are the most comfortable buds I've used, I've kept them in for 7+ hours during a workday, connecting to all my meetings and listening to music in between. Other idiosyncrasies, though, as you noted, like certain frequencies coming through even with ANC enabled, as well as the feedback loop when grabbing the Buds in the correct manner, to the lack of filtering out noises through the mic, to even a weird bug I had where all calls were single channel (whichever bud went in first) are 100% spot on. And yet, even then, the ANC is so good I never knew I needed it until I used my Novas for the first time, and now that my other issues are out of the way, and with the ability to use ATMOS and custom EQ in the ATMOS app, I'm happy with them overall. I do hope there will continue to be more improvements, though.

The battery life and comfort is definitely a big strength for these, yes! I’ll have to look into the Atomos option you’re talking about. That’s interesting.

As a fellow audio engineer and seeing that this video came out 6 months ago, I strongly agree that the base firmware sucked, but now running on ver 4.3, there seems to be a significant improvement. I generally love the way the Pixel buds pro sound, especially since I also adjusted the EQ to my liking. You alos nailed the caveat with transparency mode. Excellent overall review, though.

Damn, that is one fine review! Loved how you direct-recorded the buds to compare - my only feedback on that is that changing sources on the hits made it harder for me to judge what was due to the buds and what was just the mix/arrangement evolving - minor complaint, though :-) I did wonder if the tube affects the recording quality but I trust you'd only be sharing it if it matched what you were hearing. To my ears it sounded like the stereo image was being affected a lot by both buds, with the highs being really wide on both, and the upper mids on the A's seemed a bit scooped, but were more forward and narrow on the pro's (I'm listening on closed-back wired phones, plus all the youtube encoding along the way). Did you get that as well? I figure at least part of that will be down to the bluetooth codec as well. I was pretty close to ordering the pro's but after hearing these tests I'm not sure I'd be happy with either, really. So huge thanks for such an in-depth and unbiased review that lets us draw our own conclusions. I might stick with this pair of AU$30 buds I picked up - they're a tenth of the price but don't sound too much worse - although their ANC is probably nowhere near as good as the pro's. Do you offer stems of your tests (I'm guessing maybe in the members' section)? Anyway, awesome review and appreciate the technical depth and openness.
@ThisIsTechToday Жыл бұрын
Thanks! Yeah, the tubes aren't creating an issue that I can hear, only when there's nothing into it and your speaking into it does it sound "tubey" haha. Yes, the Pro's definitely have a narrower sound stage, which is unfortunate.

As KZfaq music is often a pain to use, and I have my entire audio library saved to my PC in FLAC or MP3--with the intent of transferring all of my music files over to my Pixel 6 Pro XL--could you recommend the very best audio player app to play locally saved music files? Would you recommend listening to music on your phone this way and do you yourself prefer this method of listening to music over streaming services?

I'll have to look up how much has changed with firmware updates in the last eight months before making a decision.

the worst thing apple ever did was remove the headphone jack, which spiraled us into years of this insanity paying $200-$300+ for garbage earbuds we need to recharge when we couldve spent $50-$70 in 2016 and got actually good wired earbuds with good microphones. We live in the worst timeline. ----- I think we forget to zoom out sometimes and just get so sucked into the reality we're in and forget that we've had significantly better wired earbuds for 15+ yrs. Also, listen again to the microphone portion of this, this microphon audio is absolute trash, but we forget about that because all other bluetooth earbud mics are also trash. insanity.

Listening to this video on my PBAs. Honestly I like the sound of the Pro better. It adds a bit to the high end and mids without losing any low end. That said, the PBAs still sound great and I love mine and I'd hate to give up the great olive color. But with the exception of a quiet outdoor setting, the mic on the Pro sounds like trash compared to the PBAs. I never owned the PB2s so I don't miss the wireless charging or the swipe gestures (though I know I'd appreciate them).

These both sound good in my Anker soundcores! I can hear the difference and subtle voices each bud brand has. Thanks for the breakdown. I think you explain well and make it definitely understandable. I think the whole price point in these devices have gotten crazy! I'm going for quality and price point. So in closing your review answers many questions. Thank you.

Thanks for this review! Really balanced and informative. I ended up springing for the Pixel Buds Pro even after seeing this and I have to say I'm really happy with them so far (these are my first buds with ANC and transparency mode, so I have no other experience to compare against). I might have stuck with my A series buds for longer, but they disappeared somehow and I decided to go with the upgrade. The Pros are definitely an improvement in my experience with help from Wavelet. Hoping for some native EQ settings from Google in a future update.

I just got mine and I started back to backing them with my soundcores on Dave Brubeck Take Five. I find it much better to demo non electronic music. There seems to be some high end roll off in the Pixels. The cymbals in T5 are way more subdued and less in your face. The Pixels do sound less congested. The bass strings lose some of their sizzle vibrating on the fingerboard. The Pixels also seem better dynamically. The have a much stronger attack on cose miced bass drums. The Pixels remind me of listening to a vintage tube amp that rolls off. I generally agree with the review, good job. The high end roll off doesn't bother me as much probably because my ears are old.

I don't usually comment on videos, but I just wanted to point out that some of the issues you mentioned have been fixed in the first or second firmware update. For instance: the feedback "squeak" you mentioned was a huge concern to me when I first bought mine (I even bought a second pair to try to rule out it being a manufacturing issue), but after the latest update that feedback loop is completely fixed. That being said, this is a very good, in depth review (although definitely geared towards audiophiles), just maybe due for an update to address the fixed issues :)
@ThisIsTechToday Жыл бұрын
All of this was done on firmware 2.14. Isn't that the latest build? I don't see a new one. Thanks for the kind words!
@Grubz5 Жыл бұрын
@@ThisIsTechToday very interesting! Yes that is the latest I have as well. I know in depth technical reviews can take a long time to make so I assumed you might have filmed before the last update, but since that's not the case (and I imagine you would have included amendments even if it had been, given the care and diligence you put into this) I'm at a loss for why this could be. The issues mentioned that I personally noticed on launch were fixed for me in the last two updates (feedback, quality, higher volume compression, etc.). Then again, I don't have the equipment you have, so maybe what I perceive as "completely fixed" is actually more like "significantly improved" and still reproducible in a lab setting? Also can't rule out Google doing A/B testing with feature flags (which they love to do, but would seem a bit absurd in this case)... I don't know 🤷♂️ Thanks for the reply and keep up the good work! 👍

Interesting. What Sennheiser? It’s pretty dramatic in sound stage and EQ.
@fsendventd Жыл бұрын
If I had to guess, the reason the A-Series sound better is because of Google's "spatial vent" which makes them into almost a semi-open sort of design. The Pros don't have that because it would defeat the purpose of ANC. That's the biggest difference I picked up on in the sound comparisons. For my part, I have both the Pixel Buds Pro and the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and I think they both sound good, but the Galaxy Buds are better. They're both crisp and clear, neither sound compressed, but the high end on the Pixel Buds Pro is very recessed compared to almost everything else I've ever listened to, and yes, I checked that I updated the firmware. (However, the Pixel Buds will be the ones I'm keeping, because I'm allergic to the Galaxy Buds. They didn't fix that from the first generation Pros.) I also think the transparency is better, the Galaxy Buds sound very sharp and processed and you can hear all the high frequencies from stuff like your footsteps and your clothes rustling as you walk, while the Pixel Buds sound much more natural, if a little muffled (kind of like what it sounds like when you're wearing headphones, but headphones that don't isolate very much).
