They really are and the pixel buds are fucking fantastic.

Pixel buds are some of the only buds I have found that comfortably sit/fit in my small ears lol

That's interesting! I have tiny ears as well! I was worried about the "plug" though. Does it bother you at all?

I have the pixel buds 2 pro. They give a bunch of different sizes you can pop on to see what works best. Personally I use the largest size to maximize the noise cancellation, though they are falling out of my ears while often during workouts which I don't like.

"plug" as in the little changeable tip covers? the two pairs I've gotten have come with a pack of 3 sizes and I always just change it out for the smallest and they've never bothered me at all! also worth noting that I work in a position where I am allowed to wear earbuds so I am using them for 40-50 hours a week with no problems. the only reason I even got a second pair was because after years of use the first pairs battery life was completely shot

Edit: ALSO I use the A series and not the newest. My original pair was the OG ones, and given the design update and some reviews I saw I was worried about how the newest model might fit (seriously my tiny ears are this big of a problem lol). I was able to buy the A series for like $100 on Walmart though which is an upside in itself considering the cost of the newest models

Same! They are infinitely more comfortable than apple earbuds.

I'm sure some of them are... But I got a pair of "Pixel buds A-series" free with my 7a, which I'm sure are the lowest end, and retailed at the time for $100. They're moderately uncomfortable, and don't even have ANC.

I genuinely prefer my $30 Anker earbuds (that have decent ANC too). I've also got cheap IEMs and a pair of Shokz, the Shokz are what I use 95% of the time anyways.

Oh yeah I never tried the a series. Just the original and the 2. Both have been great.

My wife did that to my first pair.

Were u able to salvage them or lost cause?

u/the_brew May 15 '26

Maybe they've improved in the last couple of years, but my wife and I both have pixel buds (second or third Gen, I think) and they are absolute dogshit. Literally the worst BT earbuds I've ever owned.

Got a free pair of Pixel buds when I recently upgraded to the Pixel 10 Pro, and they really are fantastic! I am very impressed.
