Google launched its flagship true wireless (TWS) earbuds in India a few months ago. But it seemed far from a finished product then, especially on the software side; how ironic! The tech giant did promise a few updates in the coming months, and after a couple of them, the Google Pixel Buds Pro does feel like a good package. Having said that, given its stiff price tag, it is bound to run into some serious competition in India from the likes of Sony and Samsung. Can it outdo them or even match their performance? Let’s find out.

As for alternatives, our top two picks of 2022 under Rs 20,000 are hard to beat. The Sony WF-1000XM4 offers clean and detailed sound output along with the best ANC under 20K. The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro is not far behind in terms of sound quality and ANC, and if you use a Samsung phone or plan to, you can unlock some of its more premium features too. As of now, it would be hard to recommend the Pixel Buds Pro over those two. However, if its price drops under 15K, it would be an interesting option.
