Google Pixel Buds Pro Truly Wireless

The Google Pixel Buds Pro are satisfactory for neutral sound. Although our graphs show that they have a fairly flat sound, their real-life sound is more v-shaped. It's likely due to the buds popping out of our test rig's ears since even in their smallest size, they don't fit the ears well. Subjectively, they deliver extra thump and rumble with extra brightness devoted to vocals, lead instruments, and sibilants. You can adjust their sound using their app's graphic EQ and presets, though. Unfortunately, they're closed-back in-ear headphones, so their passive soundstage doesn't sound very immersive.
