The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are a remarkable upgrade over the original Pixel Buds, and we now know how Google made its new earbuds so good.

I use $5 wired buds and they are great, well worth the extra $ over the $2 buds that I used to use.

Airpod style buds have always seemed nuts to me. Three more tiny items (two buds and the charging case) to lose? Each with its own battery to fail? But there are lots of them now at under $20 that look perfectly fine. Are $200 ones really better? I'd need convincing.

Well for 1 I don't have to worry about a wire yanking the buds out of my ears.

I was also scared of losing them, but in the 4 years I have been using them, it hasn't been a problem once.

But yeah if you're fine with the sound quality of a pair of $5 wired earbuds then the $200 ones aren't for you. Maybe try a cheap pair though, you may like it.
