Pixel Buds Pro still worth it? (lemmy.world)

My Sony WF-1000XM4s are the latest victim in the battery issues plaguing Sony earbuds: https://old.reddit.com/r/SonyHeadphones/comments/x7mx2n/wf1000xm4_severe_battery_issues/ Sony's apparently taking them back and refunding customers, but I'm stuck without working buds in the meantime.

I had gotten the Pixel Buds A series when I pre-ordered my Pixel 6a, but I sold them to reduce the final cost of my phone..

I've been eyeing the Pixel Buds Pro since they're down to $120 USD for Thanksgiving/Black Friday. I was wondering what owners of them think of them and if they're still worth it - considering they're 18 months old at this point.

I use earbuds in the gym or when when I'm walking to the grocery store.

I love mine. Have had them since launch, and previously had the Airpods pro.

There are things I love about the pixel buds and things I hate. The noise cancelling is phenomenal when you get the seal right in your ear, which is rare.

One of my ears just doesn't jive with the pixel buds. I've tried different sizes, cleaning them routinely, and even looking at third party tips.

The sound is excellent and I love the assistant functions and gesture features that are built in that the airpods don't have. At the same time the tap / hold function to enable or disable ANC is annoying is shit for when all you're trying to do is adjust the earbud. In my case that's often.

Overall I would pick them up for $130. The battery life alone makes them probably worth that.
