In a surprising twist, the original Pixel Buds Pro are now available at a staggering discount! With the recent launch of the Pixel Buds Pro 2, the Google Store has ceased selling the first-generation model, but savvy shoppers can still snag this popular item at a fantastic price. Currently, Woot, an Amazon company, has them listed for just $109.99 as part of a clearance sale—a massive 45% off the original retail price!

While the new Pixel Buds Pro 2 are certainly catching attention for their lighter and smaller design—24% lighter and 27% smaller compared to their predecessor—many users still appreciate the original version's unique bean-like shape, which molds comfortably to the contours of the ear. For those who prioritize comfort over the latest features, the original might still be the go-to choice.

The advancements in the second-generation model are noteworthy; the Pixel Buds Pro 2 boast a robust battery life of 8 hours with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) enabled, and an impressive 12 hours without ANC. The updated charging case also extends your listening time significantly—from 20 to 30 hours with ANC, and 31 to an incredible 48 hours without ANC.

Furthermore, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 have improved their water resistance rating from IPX4 to IP54, while the charging case also sees a bump in protection from IPX2 to IPX4. A standout feature in the new model is the inclusion of a speaker for the "Find My Device" feature, making it easier than ever to locate lost buds.

In addition to these improvements, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 introduce Bluetooth 5.4, enhancing connectivity over the previous version's 5.0, and come with extra small eartips for a better fit. On the software front, users will enjoy a seamless experience with the Gemini interface, just as with the original model.
