    All listening times are approximate and were measured using music playback (continuous music at 50% volume) with pre-production hardware and software, with fully charged Pixel Buds Pro 2 and case, and Active Noise Cancellation turned on but other features disabled. Case is used to recharge Pixel Buds Pro 2. Use of other features will decrease battery life. Battery life depends on device, features enabled, usage, environment, and many other factors.
