A few days after Samsung made his Samsung made his Galaxy Buds 3 Fe official, the beginning of Google in a new pair of headphones equally affordable and oriented to value, and I could prove them briefly. That’s right, Pixel’s Buds 2a are officially official with a much more compact transport case and an internal design that resembles the most expensive Pixel Buds 2 pro.
Google Pixel Buds 2a is priced at $ 129 / £ 129 / AU $ 239 and are ready to preordinate at this time. However, like the Pixel Watch 4 or Pixel 10 Pro Fold pixel, and even the Pixel Buds 2 Pro in 2024, these headphones will not be sent until October. Specifically, October 9, 2025 is the real launch of Pixel Buds 2A and when deliveries are expected to begin.
Even with a long time to wait, there is much to like here, especially the factorization in the price you pay.
Start with general design. Pixel’s Buds 2a occupy less space than original pixels and were easy to place in my ears.
I especially like that the rotable stabilizer has been reduced from the Buds 2 Pro pixel and allows them to block them in their ear for when it is active, or choose a slightly smaller adjustment for softer use. There is a test adjustment test that you can perform in the complementary application for Android devices, and Google sends four tips in the box.
Nor would I sleep in the new Iris color option (shown above). It is more a light lilac in person, but I especially like the subtle color of color it provides. Pixel Buds 2a also comes in Hazel, which is a black tone (shown below).
You will also find a “G” for Google recorded in each outbreak, and that same place has a capacitive tactile sensor for controls, such as stopping music or activating Google Gemini, although you can also call AI to help use the phrase, ‘Hello Google’.
Google also intensified the battery life: Pixel Buds 2a must last 10 hours with a full load or up to 27 hours with recharges in the case, although that is with the cancellation of active noise off. With this, you are looking seven hours from the outbreaks and 20 hours from the case.
The transport case is smaller and very capable of palmar, which makes the outbreaks even more tempting to take everyone with you. The box is recharged through a USB-C port and, like the Pixel Watch 4, it now has a battery that can be replaced, which makes it more useful for long-term use.
Help in the improved battery duration on the Google Pixel Buds A series A is the Google Tensioner A1 chip. I should do things a bit more efficient and accelerate the response capacity, but also feeds another new feature: the cancellation of active noise.
Google promises that ANC in Pixel Buds 2a is as good as the Pixel Buds Pro of First Generation, and we will have to test it. However, without music, I was able to involve the ANC in the Brots 2a, and brought a practical space quite full to a whisper.
He put me in the area, to some extent, and with a track that is reproduced, it should be even more effective, although Google did not allow us to play music during this early aspect, which obviously means that we will leave ourselves aside from a complete verdict until we can make our complete review.
The Pixel Buds 2a will also have a mode of transparency for the moments when you want to let the ambient noise or someone who chat with you.
While I could not prove audio reproduction in Pixel Buds 2A, we know that a 11 mm dynamic controller feeds the experience, and these affordable headphones will have a five -band adjustable equalizer through the application. By the time you want to be immersed in sound, the space audio is also admitted here, although it only works with certain pixel (Pixel 6 and posterior) devices.
And if it is wrong for the case, you can see the location on a map, and if the headphones are inside, you can ping it to touch a sound. In this way, the Hide and Seek game will become a little faster.
On paper, the Pixel Buds 2a are emerging to be a pair of quite convincing headphones, but even at $ 129 / £ 129 / AU $ 239, they are entering a world quite full of the best headphones, with strong options at the same price and lower.
As we approach the official launch and arrival date of October 9, 2025, we will put the outbreaks of Pixel 2a tested and we will see how good these new Google headphones. However, if it is sold, Google Pixel Buds 2a are now ready for Iris or Hazel.
