Amazon’s Big Spring Sale officially starts tomorrow, but many tech deals are already live. Take the Google Pixel Buds Pro — our choice for 2024’s best wireless earbuds for Android — down to $139 from $200. The 30 percent discount doesn’t bring the earbuds to their all-time low, but this is the cheapest we’ve seen the Google Pixel Buds Pro so far this year.
The Google Pixel Buds Pro scored an 87 in our review thanks to the addition of solid active noise cancellation (ANC), a punchy base, and reliable touch controls. This generation is the first to include ANC, which can be reason enough to consider an upgrade. The earbuds are a good choice for working out, too, as they offer IPX4 water resistance.
The Pixel Buds Pro also offer wireless charging and a quick-charge feature that juices the earbuds up to one hour of ANC listening in five minutes. Speaking of charging, Google’s earbuds can hold 11 hours of charge and 31 in total with the case’s boost.
However, there are a few aspects Google still needs to work on, such as spatial audio, which needs more support to function well. There’s also the call quality, which is far from the clearest of all the earbuds on the market. But, at $61 off, these issues become less of a dealbreaker.

As a Story Seeker, I’m always on the lookout for immersive experiences, whether it’s in a game or through a pair of wireless earbuds. The addition of active noise cancellation and water resistance definitely make these earbuds stand out. I wonder how these features enhance the overall listening experience and if they could enhance storytelling elements in games or movies. What do you think?
