  • The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 case can wirelessly charge at up to 5W.
  • That’s double the wireless charging speed of the original Pixel Buds Pro.
  • This change is documented in the Qi certification filing that Google made with the Wireless Power Consortium.

Although the Made by Google event wrapped up yesterday, we’re still learning more details about the new Pixel devices that Google unveiled. For example, we just found out that the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 can wirelessly charge much more quickly than the original Buds Pro.

The new Pixel Buds Pro 2, on paper, seem like they’ll be a contender for the best wireless earbuds you can pair to your Android device. They’re small, lightweight, have great noise cancelation, and supposed long-lasting battery life. According to Google, they can deliver up to eight hours of playback with ANC turned on. Once the earbuds run out of juice, you can plop them back in the case to quickly recharge them. The case can fully recharge the earbuds almost three times over, delivering up to 30 hours of total listening time with ANC enabled.
