Testing conducted in September 2017 on pre-production Pixel Buds connected to a pre-production Pixel 2 phone.
  • Total listening times are approximate and are measured using fully charged Google Pixel Buds and a fully charged case for the first Google Pixel Buds re-charge cycle. Actual results may vary. Google Pixel Buds battery testing conducted in September 2017 on pre-production Pixel Buds connected to a pre-production Pixel 2 phone.
  • The cord between the 2 earbuds conducts power and audio signals so do not cut it. The warranty will be voided if the cord is cut.

1 Colors may vary and change over time with use. Not all colors are available in all areas.

2 Earbuds are designed to comply with a water protection rating of IPX4 and the Pixel Buds Pro case is designed to comply with a water protection rating of IPX2, each under IEC standard 60529 when manufactured. Earbuds and case are not waterproof. Water resistance is not a permanent condition and decreases or is lost over time due to normal wear and tear, repair, disassembly, or damage. Dry your earbuds and case after exposure to any liquids.

3Requires compatible games.

4 All listening times are approximate and were measured using music playback with pre-production hardware and software, with fully charged Pixel Buds Pro and case, and other features disabled. Case is used to recharge Pixel Buds Pro when their batteries are depleted. Charging times are approximate. Use of other features will decrease battery life. Battery life depends on device, features enabled, usage, environment and many other factors. Actual battery life may be lower.

5 Call quality depends on signal strength, environment, network traffic, and many other factors. Actual results may vary.
