Potential purchasers who are considering the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 might find an appealing offer on Amazon. When purchasing these earbuds, customers can receive a complimentary $30 Amazon gift card.
At $229, the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 do not come at a discounted price through this deal, as they are newly released. However, the inclusion of the $30 gift card provides some added value.
The Pixel Buds Pro 2, which feature a built-in Tensor chip, received favorable reviews. Engadget’s senior reporter, Billy Steele, awarded them a score of 88, highlighting the earbuds’ comfortable design and impressive sound quality—featuring punchy bass, full mids, and crisp highs. Furthermore, the improved battery life compared to the previous model and hands-free access to Gemini AI on compatible devices were noted as significant advantages.
Despite these positives, some limitations were also mentioned. Spatial audio is currently restricted to video-streaming applications and is not available for audio. The touch controls require more precision due to a smaller panel, and with the latest version, Google has increased the price. However, the $30 gift card helps to mitigate this price increase.
