Product Description
Meet Google Pixel Buds Pro, the noise-canceling earbuds with premium immersive sound that adapts to you. Active Noise Cancellation with Silent Seal[TM] blocks outside sounds, so your music shines.[1] Their beamforming mics help make calls crystal clear, even in loud places.[5] To play music, check the weather, or have notifications read to you, just say “Hey Google,” or press and hold the earbud for help.[4] LEGAL [1]To prevent possible hearing damage, avoid listening at high volume for prolonged periods of time. [2]All listening times are approximate and measured using music playback with pre-production hardware and software, with fully charged Pixel Buds Pro and case, and other features disabled (including active noise cancellation). Case is used to recharge Pixel Buds Pro. Charging times are approximate. Use of other features will decrease battery life.

Pros: The buds are very adaptive & attuned to the wearer & their environment. The quality is superb for both phone conversations & casual listening. I particularly like (a) when I am listening to something & I begin speaking the buds mute what I am listening to until I stop speaking, & (b) the buds can sense (even with the buds out of the case, but not in my ear) when I insert them into my ear. These buds are truly innovative. The battery life is great as well.
Cons: For me, the buds do have a couple of aesthetic drawbacks. First, I am not one to buy any white/lightly-colored product as they make dirt more apparent. I choose to purchase the "Porcelain" colored buds for eccentricity; to my dismay, they resemble the color "white" very closely. I was actually leaning more towards the "Fog-" or "Coral"-colored buds; nonetheless, that is neither here nor there. Secondly, the buds stay in my ear MOST of the time. This is/was one of the deterrents for me purchasing these (& similar) buds. While they do fit comfortably in my ears, they have dropped out a few times. Note: I have not worn them during rigorous movements (yet) for this reason. If these buds had an around-the-ear hook, my worry would be alleviated here.

In this review, I used a 0- or 1-point system with 1 point for the winner, 0 points for the loser and 1 point for each for a tie.
If you don't want to read through the comparison, just get the PBP's. These two earbuds are very close in features, sound quality and noise cancelling, but the PBP's are cheaper and still beat out the Sony's based on my scoring...and I really love the Sony’s but cannot justify them for the price difference!
For my smaller ears the Sony's were a bit more uncomfortable. Ultimately both are really good ear buds, and it comes down to a matter of fit and price (at least for me). If price is not an option and you have larger ears go with Sony, otherwise go with the Pixel Buds Pro.
Detailed review
Price: Both were purchased on sale, so the Sony's were $250 (regularly $280) and the PBP's were $150 (regularly $199). In my opinion, PBP's are a bargain compared to the Sony's! Winner: PBP
Fit: PBP smaller and lighter. Sony, foam tips seal well, but can be scratchy in the ear and feel hotter. For my smaller ears the PBP's were just more comfortable. Winner: PBP
Noise Cancelling: Sony is better with NC and foam tips. PBP's not far behind though. With proper ear tips, the Sony's will block out slightly more noise in air travel. In the office, it is also close, but some of the higher pitched sounds will make it through on the PBP's. Overall, it is pretty close given the cost difference between the two, and Sony's reputation for Noise cancelling. Winner: Sony
Bass -no/flat EQ: Both are bass heavy buds. Winner: Tie
Mid - no/flat EQ: Both have OK Mids. Sony's seem slightly more subdued, but both were pretty muddy without some EQ help. The PBP's treble boost may also help the MIDs come out a little more but its too close to call. Winner: Tie
High - no/flat EQ: PBP have an accentuated high-range making music a little brighter but can get shrill. The Sony's highs were a little dull making for an overall slightly subdued sound Winner: PBP
Overall sound no/flat EQ: Sony's sound slightly cleaner out of the box without the EQ, but the two are close. They both need some EQ help to go from good to great sounding buds. Winner: Sony
Overall Sound W/EQ: With some EQ adjustments both can be closely matched. Sony needs a treble bump, PBP's need treble reduced. Both need the mid’s bumped slightly. Winner: Tie
Touch Controls: PBP has more controls available at once. Both can be changed in the apps, but with Sony you must choose between music control or volume control. The PBP's can do both with taps or swipes. Both will pause music when the earbuds are removed. Winner: PBP
Control feedback: Sony's have spoken audio queue's, PBP's use beeps. Much easier to know what you changed with spoken responses by the Sony's. Winner: Sony
Volume level: At the same volume settings, the Sony's were louder. For the PBP's it seemed I needed to play these near max volume. Could be a phone issue, but all volume and app settings were the same for both. This bothered me enough to almost make me not want to keep the PBP's. Winner: Sony
Battery Life (ANC on): Sony's seem to have a slight edge, but only by a few minutes. Too close to call Winner: Tie
Charging: Both have USB C and Wireless charging and charge in approximately the same amount of time. Number of charges and quick charging (5-minute charge for an hour of play) is the same per the specs. I have not tried this out yet as I always keep these charged. Winner: Tie
Multipoint (pairing): Sony does not allow you to pair and use with two Bluetooth devices at the same time. The PBP's do. Shame on Sony for not including this for the price of these headphones. Great feature for office use! Winner: PBP
App: Both apps are well done. The PBP app is a little easier to use. Both have ear tip check feature which will tell you if you ear tips are sealing well. I used a smaller tip in one ear and both apps detected a bad seal. Winner: Tie
Charging Case size: Both are small, but the PBP's have slimmer case and feels better when carried in the pocket. Winner: PBP
Assistant features: Both are capable of using Google assistant or Alexa..Yes, the PBPs will work with Alexa Winner: Tie
Auto Ambient Switch: Only available on the Sony. If it senses you are talking it will automatically switch to ambient sound pass through and pause your music. Very useful feature and works well especially on an airplane. However, if you like to sing out loud you probably want to disable this feature. Winner: Sony
Find my headphones: Only available on the PBPs. You can send a signal and make the buds beep if you misplace them. Winner: PBP
Bluetooth: Both connect instantly and have great range. Walking to the other side of my house and through about 3 walls, both ear buds cut out in the exact same location. Winner: Tie
Microphone: Did not really test this, based on the soundguys.com review they are close, but in their recorded audio the PBP's mic sounds a bit better to my ear than the Sony's. Winner: PBP
Total Score: Sony 13, Pixel Buds Pro 16

Overall Sound W/EQ: With some EQ adjustments both can be closely matched. Sony needs a treble bump, PBP's need treble reduced. Both need the mid’s bumped slightly. Winner: Tie
Touch Controls: PBP has more controls available at once. Both can be changed in the apps, but with Sony you must choose between music control or volume control. The PBP's can do both with taps or swipes. Both will pause music when the earbuds are removed. Winner: PBP
Control feedback: Sony's have spoken audio queue's, PBP's use beeps. Much easier to know what you changed with spoken responses by the Sony's. Winner: Sony
Volume level: At the same volume settings, the Sony's were louder. For the PBP's it seemed I needed to play these near max volume. Could be a phone issue, but all volume and app settings were the same for both. This bothered me enough to almost make me not want to keep the PBP's. Winner: Sony
Battery Life (ANC on): Sony's seem to have a slight edge, but only by a few minutes. Too close to call Winner: Tie
Charging: Both have USB C and Wireless charging and charge in approximately the same amount of time. Number of charges and quick charging (5-minute charge for an hour of play) is the same per the specs. I have not tried this out yet as I always keep these charged. Winner: Tie
Multipoint (pairing): Sony does not allow you to pair and use with two Bluetooth devices at the same time. The PBP's do. Shame on Sony for not including this for the price of these headphones. Great feature for office use! Winner: PBP
App: Both apps are well done. The PBP app is a little easier to use. Both have ear tip check feature which will tell you if you ear tips are sealing well. I used a smaller tip in one ear and both apps detected a bad seal. Winner: Tie
Charging Case size: Both are small, but the PBP's have slimmer case and feels better when carried in the pocket. Winner: PBP
Assistant features: Both are capable of using Google assistant or Alexa..Yes, the PBPs will work with Alexa Winner: Tie
Auto Ambient Switch: Only available on the Sony. If it senses you are talking it will automatically switch to ambient sound pass through and pause your music. Very useful feature and works well especially on an airplane. However, if you like to sing out loud you probably want to disable this feature. Winner: Sony
Find my headphones: Only available on the PBPs. You can send a signal and make the buds beep if you misplace them. Winner: PBP
Bluetooth: Both connect instantly and have great range. Walking to the other side of my house and through about 3 walls, both ear buds cut out in the exact same location. Winner: Tie
Microphone: Did not really test this, based on the soundguys.com review they are close, but in their recorded audio the PBP's mic sounds a bit better to my ear than the Sony's. Winner: PBP
Total Score: Sony 13, Pixel Buds Pro 16

Puedo decir que son los mas cómodos que he probado hasta el momento (son los que mejor se han adaptado a la forma de mi oreja), no se caen aun cuando hago ejercicio (zumba, correr y levantamiento de pesas). Tienen un buen alcance y se conectan rápidamente a mi Pixel 7a (razón principal por el que los elegí). Muy contento con mi compra.
La calidad del sonido me parece bastante buena y, en ocasiones, escucho música y podcasts sin problemas.
La cancelación de ruido me parece bastante buena, pero no soy un experto en el tema.
Los compré por $2,700, así que por el precio me parece valen mucho la pena.
Lo malo es que tengo un iPhone 14 Pro y no puedo sacarle todo el provecho con la app para Android.
Los conecto fácilmente tanto a mi teléfono como a mi laptop de viaje (Macbook Air (M1)).
