The earphones come with a12mm driverinside, and featureIPX4 ingress protectionrating, which means they will hold up fine under the strains of a workout; however, it won’t be wise to take them along for a swim.

The Pixel Buds 2 also come with a5 hour battery life, which is fairly decent, especially considering the size. Plus, the included charging case can bring the battery life up to a total of 24 hours on the earbuds, which is awesome. The buds also come with quick charging, andGoogle says a 10 minute charge will give you 2.5 hours of listening timeon the earbuds. The case charges over USB-C, so you can use your smartphone’s charging cable to charge the Pixel Buds 2 as well.
