Googles made some big, big changes to the design of the $230 Pixel Buds Pro 2.

Each bud is lighter at 4.7 grams versus the 6.3 grams of the first-gen buds.

The Pixel Buds Pro 2 come in four colors, including a bright pink Peony.

Google also claimed its ANC now adapts to the environment much faster than before.

The other big promise is that the Buds Pro 2 will work with Gemini on users phones.

Google told Gizmodo that the feature would require users to have a consistent, stable internet connection.

Well have to test that and more once we finally get our hands on a pair.

I knowwhich one Id choosewith how prominently those buds stick out of your ears.
