Pixel buds 2 pro falling off

Hi everyone! Does anyone know how do I stop my pixel buds 2 pro from falling from my ears? They always tend to fall off when Im working out at the gym or running. I tried twist to lock mechanism, tried all the original tips. Is it worth buying new tips that might improve the grip? I really enjoy these buds, it just that falling from the ears that frustrates me.

The battery level of my Pixel Buds 2 Pro case is not showing

I’ve tried everything I found online, but nothing has restored the battery indicator. A full factory reset of the earbuds, deleting all Pixel Buds updates, and reconnecting them made no difference (it only introduced endless updates, which later resolved itself). This started after the update that brought head gestures and the adaptive mode (alongside ANC, transparency mode, etc.). This small issue is already driving me crazy, and I want to fix it at any cost, especially since everything works fine with my old earbuds and their battery indicator shows up without any problems.

Right earbud stopped playing audio?

Hello all! So I have the Google Pixel Buds A-Series and recently the right earbud stopped playing any audio across all devices, both on my phone and my PC it won't play noise out of the right earbud.

I've cleaned it, reset the buds, disconnected and reconnected it from both devices, tried playing in the settings, and confirmed they're up to date on updates. Phone confirms the bud is at full charge as well.

The buds still register when it's put in or taken out (pausing and resuming audio automatically). The left one makes a chime when they're taken out of the case and connect via blue tooth.

they haven't been dropped recently at all, and it's absolutely no sound from that bud at all. How can I fix this?

ETA: earbuds are 3 years old if that matters

I have never seen earbuds as disgusting as these...

The Pixel buds pro 2 is the most terrible earbuds for the price I've ever worn! And by and large, there's only one reason to blame...

By themselves, they are quite cute and beautiful on the picture, when you put the headphones in the case, they play a funky sound and noise cancellation is not bad, but as soon as you put them on, such nonsense begins ...

Well, first of all, the right earbud does not hold well in my ear, I'm not complaining about it, everyone has their own ear shapes. but these are the only earbuds that fall out of my ears, although I was assured of their most comfortable fit and that Google made these ears suitable for all people, apparently they forgot about me, but that's not the point.

Now listen to this nonsense ...

When the music was playing at medium volume, everything was fine, not the best sound that there was, but it was bearable and it was enough for me in principle, but when I started to turn up the volume ...

Please tell me which genius came up with the idea that when you turn up the volume... IS 80% OF THE SOUNDS JUST PLAYING IN THE RIGHT EARBUD NOW!?

Yes, you heard right, when you increase the volume, not only the overall sound becomes louder, but it now greatly outweighs in the right ear!

And when you make the sound quieter, it not only gets quieter, it now outweighs in the left ear...

Guys, I tried everything, turned on and off spatial sound, mono sound, equalizer, updated headphones, nothing helped and it's not defective , because I listened to 2 pairs of earbuds.

You just have to admit that this is shit and who came up with this shit has to explain WTF this is?!

Man, thank you of course for deciding that with loud music my right ear should go deaf and my left ear should not, but I will decide for myself whether I want to use this ingenious engineering solution

Possible to skip ads from buds?

I set my phone down in one room of the house and do chores all over. I get caught up listening to long YouTube ads unless I am near my phone. Is there anyway to hit "skip ad" from my buds?

Pixel Bud Pro 2 ANC Issue?

Recently I started having an issue where the ANC or something in my left ear bud cuts in and out. It sounds like the sound moves from above and then under water intermittently... Has anyone else had this issue and have you guys found a solution?

BTW, The buds can hold themselves together without the case

It doesn't hold super well, but it's surprisingly strong.

Just invert one of the ear tips and put them together.

Why is the barcode for this pixel buds Series A box peeled off?

I want to buy these pixel buds series A from a local retailer here since google doesn't sell in my country. They claim they're brand new but the barcode or so is peeled off. I confirmed this with all the units in the Store.

I'm not sure if they're new or used or even authentic.

Anyone know why this could happen?

Pixel Buds 2a have a buzzing in one ear.

I ordered some 2a buds and they finally got here yesterday. Straight out of the box the right one had a faint buzzing sound when it's in the normal setting with no anc and no transparency. It's loud enough that it's impossible to ignore, but not terribly overwhelming. Just enough to be a problem I can't live with. I was looking for a fix and found and tried all of the following with nothing fixing the problem:

  • Cleaning the bud
  • Trying the other sizes to see if the seal helped
  • Turning off the setting where it detects if it's in ear
  • Completely resetting it
  • Disconnecting it and reconnecting
  • Forgetting it and then reconnecting
  • Switching to mono
  • Not connecting to find hub
  • Turning off audio switch

Does anyone have any other suggestions or had this problem and managed to fix it? Or do I need to contact support for a new pair?

Issues after latest release_5.203

Anyone else having issues after the latest firmware? The audio is not stable. Music and audio calls are choppy.

LE slider has completely disappeared also.

I factory reset and got the LE slider to appear but leaving it on means no audio during calls. Once you turn it off, it also completely disappears.

Pixel Bud Pro 2 Eartips

Hello,

I'm another one who finds the fit on the PBP2 to be terrible - they always slide out a bit, ruining the ANC and bass.

I've seen posts about Spinfit and some other tips, but it seems they're no longer in stock/being produced.

Does anybody have any recommendations on tips I can actually purchase today?

Thank you so much.

Pixel buds pro 2 and Windows 11

So, if you've ever tried using your buds for calls on Windows 11, I'm sure you've noticed they sound terrible on calls, such as teams. Looking around, the main issue is how Windows handles the Bluetooth audio, and the best you can get for the microphone is tape deck quality.

I've been hunting for a way to fix this, as I listen to music while I work and would rather not have to pop my buds out to take a call. The solution I found is a Sennheiser BTD 600 adapter. This isn't a Bluetooth adapter, but it has Bluetooth, and well essentially act as a sound card for you. While the buds do not have an aptx codec, it'll work with the standard Bluetooth codec. It takes no downloads or software to operate, works with teams, and will indicate mute, along with a button to mute calls.

Since the codecs don't line up, I was able to get FM quality on the microphone, double the standard tape deck quality. I've gotten no complaints with these as compared to my wired headphones. Not a perfect match, but close enough for calls. Plus, it also indicates teams notifications with the indicator lights.

I know creative has a dongle that works with le Bluetooth, but the ratings weren't as good and it doesn't advertise call functionality like the Sennheiser.

Pixel buds 2Pro - 2a - or another

So I with current discounts going on and with a discount code I have from the google store I can buy the following for these prices:

- Google Pixel Buds 2a - €64
- Pixel Buds Pro 2 + Rugged Armor-case from Spigen - €112.68

Which one should I buy? Or is there a better item for this price class? (for example oneplus buds4? )

I would mainly use it for work, calls, and working out

What are your suggestions? Currently using a pixel phone, but this could also change in the future?

Looks like I will be going back to (Bose Quiet Comfort) earbuds. Google has some how found a way to brick Pixelbuds app 🙄🫣 can't control transparency or anc, can't see each buds battery percentage. I don't know if head tracking is enabled or any other features. Sucks!

I'd love to Get Some Overview

I use a pixel phone, so now I'm planning to get pixel buds as well. Regarding that I have 2 questions, would love to get some feedback.

  1. Is Pixel buds as comfortable to wear as airpods? From the looks of it, pixel buds looks very thin and small to me. I'm a little worried if I have to pay attention to whether I've dropped it from my ear all the time. Please let me know whether it fits to your ear nicely.

  2. Which model is the most basic one and gets the job done? I'm on a tight budget too, so I don't want to spend more money than needed, I just need buds that will get me through workout sessions and decent (4~5 hours) amount of time per day.

No one can hear me on Bluetooth calls

I've done all of the suggestions of resetting and the like but still no success. They're great for music but I can't take calls with them. Any suggestions?
