Google Pixel Buds Pro (€219)

If you have been hankering for some pixel buds with active noise cancelling, that wait is coming to an end. At this year’s Google I/O, the company announced plans for the Pixel Buds Pro, which will not only include active noise cancelling but seven-hour battery life when it is enabled too. The small buds pack in a lot, including three mics, the ability to adapt to your ear using Google’s Silent Seal technology, and multipoint technology so you can easily switch between your phone and your tablet.
