Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 on Sale at Amazon Big Deal Days
Google's Pixel Buds Pro 2 have been highlighted as the top choice for Android users in a recent update to Cyclingnews' best headphones for cycling guide. Currently, Amazon UK is offering a significant discount of up to 55% on these earbuds as part of its Big Deal Days sale. The deal brings the price down to £99, but only for the pink-tipped version. Other color options, black and grey, still offer a substantial £60 saving. For those not keen on the pink color, official replacement tips are available for £19, or unofficial ones for £8.
The UK deal is open to all customers, not just Prime Members. However, signing up for a free 30-day Prime trial could be beneficial, with the option to cancel before the £8.99 monthly fee starts. In the US, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are also part of Amazon's Big Deal Days sale, with a 22% discount reducing the price to $179, and all color options are priced the same.
The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are praised for their comfort and long battery life, lasting up to 12 hours between charges. They feature excellent gesture controls, an iOS-like 'Find My' feature, decent noise cancellation, and transparency mode. Designed to withstand wet weather with an IP54 rating, the earbuds do have a drawback: the gesture controls can malfunction in wet conditions, so it's advised to turn them off when riding in the rain.
While the audio performance is very good, it doesn't quite match high-end models like the Technics EAH-AZ100. If you're considering these earbuds, act quickly as the Amazon Big Deal Days sale ends at midnight on Wednesday, 7 October.
