In with the new Google Pixel Buds Pro and out with the old Google Pixel Buds (2020)?
Google has been trying to come up with something to compete with the best wireless earbuds for a while now. Their original offerings are best left in the past. But, their current offerings, consisting of the Google Pixel Buds Pro and the budget-oriented Google Pixel Buds A-Series, are worth consideration, especially for Pixel phone users. We’ve already compared those two if you’re trying to pick between them.
The Google Pixel Buds A-Series could steal the Pixel 7a’s Sky Blue color
The hardware of the budget earbuds would remain the same, however
The Google Pixel 7a's arrival is barely a secret at this point. Google India pretty much confirmed the launch for May 11, a day after the phone is rumored to be unveiled at Google I/O 2023. Just a week out from the phone's release — which will reportedly be available in a Sky Blue version — a series of images has revealed the possible release of the Pixel Buds A-Series in that same color to match the Pixel 7a.

H2O Audio Tri Multi-Sport review: Bone conduction headphones for land and sea
A great option for extreme athletes
The H2O Audio Tri Multi-Sport are a unique pair of headphones from a pretty unique company. Only a few manufacturers out there offer waterproof headphones for swimming and even fewer focus on bone conduction options for the water. Well, H2O Audio is one of them and the Tri Multi-Sport are bone conduction headphones that can spend as much time in the water as on land as they’re fully waterproof. In fact, as the name suggests, these headphones are meant for the activities involved in a triathlon, meaning you can run and bike with them and then take them into the water.
Apple’s next Beats earbuds could take design cues from the Nothing Ear 2
Beats is possibly working on a pair of transparent earbuds
The likes of Sony, Samsung, Google, and others make some of the best wireless earbuds for Android providing excellent sound quality, battery life, and ANC.

And now, Apple-owned Beats might be taking inspiration from Nothing for its upcoming earbuds.
Get top-tier sound for mid-range money with this Sennheiser wireless earbuds deal
Get $50 off one of our favorite wireless earbuds
Ask anyone that follows the industry what the best wireless earbuds on the market are, and you'll probably get a response like the Sony XM4 or Bose QC II. While both of these models are excellent, and deserving of the high honor, there's another pair you should consider if you're looking for premium earbuds: the Sennheiser Momentum TW 3. They offer rich sound, great ANC, and strong battery life, and right now they're on sale for just $200.
Not too long ago, affordable true wireless earbuds were a rarity, and good ones were rarer still. Today, though, it's not unusual to see earbuds that cost $150, $100, or even less sporting desirable features like active noise cancelation and multipoint connectivity. Jabra's Elite 4 earbuds, which launched in March 2023, cost just $100, and offer audio quality and ANC that are both better than they need to be for the price. They may not have every bell and whistle you're after, but if all you really need is solid audio and ANC, the Jabra Elite 4 might be for you.
Noise suppression on wireless earbuds is finally good enough to be a game-changer for autism
This Autism Awareness Month we look at how far ANC on tiny buds has come
We talk about noise-cancelling earbuds a lot here at Android Police, and that's not surprising, given how many options there are out there.

Grab this waterproof JBL Charge 5 speaker for $40 off, and avoid that summertime sadness
It sounds great and the battery is good for up to 20 hours
A good portable Bluetooth speaker can really set the tone for a cookout, party, or any other form of get-together. A good speaker usually equals good music (depending on who is in charge of it), and good music equals good times. However, if the speaker doesn't get loud enough, sounds bad, or the battery runs out too quickly, it can ruin the entire vibe. That's why you want to be very careful when picking out your summer speaker and go with something like the JBL Charge 5. It sounds great, it's waterproof, and right now it's on sale for $140.

We think they offer a lot of value at their normal price of $170, but we dare you to find a better pair of earbuds at their sale price of just $85.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro vs. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation): Easy choice
The choice depends almost entirely on the phone you have
All the major device manufacturers offer their own earbuds to go with the phones they make, and manufacturers don't get much bigger than Samsung and Apple.

Samsung's most premium buds to date are the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, while Apple's current cream of the crop are the second-generation AirPods Pro. They're both fantastic earbuds, but which will suit your needs comes down mostly to the phone in your pocket.
