Google ’s Pixel Buds Pro 2 earbuds are lighter, smaller, and more comfortable to wear.

The active noise cancellation and transparency modes have both markedly improved.

New in these buds is the Tensor A1 chip, which marks the first time Google has built custom silicon into the headphones.

Noise cancellation is still not quite at par with Bose , but these do a noticeably superior job.

For now, Gemini Live is just a conversation buddy, and the most fun’ you’ll have is probably trying to get it to say something weird or unexpected.

The guardrails for this feature seem too far-reaching.

Google says it's good for brainstorming on the go or other use cases like practicing for a job interview.
