Google launched the Pixel Buds 2a, expanding its A-Series earbuds lineup back in August. The earbuds are now on sale in India and other markets globally.
The earbuds are designed using data from over 45 million ear scans, have an IP54 rating for sweat and water resistance, and the charging case has an IPX4 rating.
They connect via Bluetooth 5.4 with Super Wideband, feature Active Noise Cancellation (Silent Seal™ 1.5) and Transparency mode, 11 mm dynamic drivers, stereo spatial audio, a 5-band equalizer, and wind-blocking mesh with Google AI for calls.
Powered by the Tensor A1 chip, they support Google AI and Gemini features, offer 7 hours playback with ANC and 20 hours with the case, with a 5-minute charge adding 1 hour. Additional features include hands-free Gemini, tap-to-control, Pixel-Perfect Pairing, multipoint switching, and Find Hub.
