Score: 81/100
Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 Peony
Score: 71/100Rankings

The Xiaomi Redmi Buds 5 Pro combine dual coaxial drivers, LDAC support, and up to 52 dB of active noise cancellation in a lightweight 42.8 g package. While they provide premium sound and ANC, they lack wireless charging and have an unspecified battery endurance per earbud. They target users who want high-resolution audio and ANC without a premium price tag.

Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 are compact true-wireless earbuds with Silent Seal ANC and an 11 mm driver, offering solid sound and Google Assistant integration. Battery life is limited to roughly five hours with ANC and the case provides a modest 25-hour boost, while the IP rating and lack of wireless charging are notable compromises. Best suited for Android users who value Google services and ANC over extended runtime.

Professional commentary from Xiaomi's own site emphasizes the earbuds' coaxial dual drivers for accurate sound, the high-grade 52 dB ANC for strong noise suppression, and AI-enhanced call performance that remains clear even in windy conditions.
Everyday users consistently commend the earbuds for their long battery endurance, lightweight comfort, clear calls, and the privacy-focused leakage driver, especially for workouts and outdoor activities. Recurring criticisms focus on weaker bass compared to in-ear options and occasional sound leakage in very quiet settings, with some wishing for deeper app customization.

“Comfortable fit and useful ANC”


Professional reviewers highlight the Pixel Buds Pro's comfortable fit and effective Silent Seal™ ANC, noting the 11 mm driver and 6 mm nozzle deliver solid audio across volume levels. They appreciate the intuitive touch controls and clear call performance, but point out the need for occasional fit tweaks during movement and the absence of adaptive volume control.
Everyday users praise the earbuds for their lightweight comfort, customizable tips, and reliable ANC that helps them stay focused during daily commutes and calls. Common complaints revolve around the earbuds shifting during activity, a desire for longer battery life, and the perception that the fit can feel slightly clogged if the tip size isn't ideal.
