It is that time of the year: Google has announced its new lineup of Pixel 9 smartphones, its new Pixel Watch 3, and the Pixel Buds Pro 2. If you’re looking to splurge on the latest earbuds from Google, you can preorder the Pixel Buds Pro 2 for $229 and get a $30 Amazon gift card.
The earbuds will be released on September 26, 2024, but the preorder deal is not guaranteed to last that long.
The $30 gift card can be used anywhere on the Amazon website, but you must do so before Sept. 28, 2024 at 11:59 pm PT. There is a limited supply of them, so if you’re interested, act fast.
The listing price for the new Pixel Buds Pro 2 is $29 more than the original Pixel Buds Pro, which have since dropped to $139.99. Some of the improvements Google has made to the new earbuds to justify the price include a new twisting mechanism that secures to the ear better for more intense workouts, better active noise canceling (ANC) thanks to the more snug fit, better audio processing with the new Tensor A1 chip, longer battery life of about eight hours with ANC on and 31 hours from the charging case, and the inclusion to Gemini Live, Android’s voice assistant. Some things that were not improved this time around: the drivers, wireless charging, and the equalizer options, which are all the same as the previous generation.
If you’re looking for the latest pair of ANC earbuds that double as workout and you have a Pixel phone, you have a strong case for preordering them, especially with the $30 gift card.
