If you’re in the market for a new pair of earbuds, you’re in luck. We’ve found a good discount on the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2. The earbuds earned a spot on our list of the best wireless earbuds as our top pick for Android owners and, right now, you can get them for $40 off. That reduces the cost to just $189. But this limited-time deal won’t last long so act fast to snag the color you want. The buds come in four colors — hazel, peony, porcelain and wintergreen but, unfortunately, wintergreen is already sold out.
The earbuds provide noticeably improved sound quality and noise cancellation compared to their predecessor. They’re built with Google’s powerful Tensor A1 chip and designed to offer powerful, immersive sound. It’s the first time a Google Tensor chip has been featured in any earbuds and the result is robust active noise cancellation and advanced sound.
The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 earbuds deliver deep bass with 11mm drivers built in and they have a new high-frequency chamber for a smoother treble. CNET Editor David Carnoy noted that compared to the original Pixel Buds Pro, “there’s more depth and richness to the sound with better overall definition and extension.”

These buds also got a design upgrade. Google made the earbuds 27% smaller and 24% lighter to provide a design that securely fits even more ear types. If you want to wear them during workouts, there is a twist-to-adjust stabilizer to help lock your earbuds in place while you’re moving around and sweating.
There’s also a conversation detection feature that pauses your music and switches your earbuds to the transparency mode if you start talking. And with an impressive 30-hour battery life, you can listen to all your favorite songs, audiobooks and podcasts for hours on end without having to recharge.

Why this deal matters
At $189, these earbuds are a great buy with advanced active noise cancellation, impressive sound quality and a lengthy battery life. The current deal is only $10 more than the sale pricing we saw during Black Friday last year and it’s unlikely we’ll see them drop lower anytime soon. But it’s still a great deal on great buds.
