Android owners looking for an earbud upgrade are in luck. The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 are back down to $169 at Amazon, Best Buy, and the Google Store, matching the lowest price we’ve seen. Google’s site claims the deal will last until 11:59PM PT on November 8th, and other retailers will likely follow suit. Some colors are already sold out, however, so it’s worth checking multiple retailers if you don’t see your preferred option.

The Pro 2 are great for Android owners and work particularly well with Pixel phones, which receive some extra tricks, including tighter Gemini integration. We praised the wireless earbuds for their improved design, which cut both weight and size while improving the comfort and fit. They have more powerful noise cancellation and a better transparency mode, though they still don’t quite match up to some of the best in the industry, like the latest Bose Ultra Earbuds. The default tuning leans towards clarity and crisp detail, rather than boosted bass, with both presets and a five-band EQ to adjust them to your liking.
