Google Pixel Buds 2a Launched: Active Noise Cancellation and AI Gemini Headphones
Google Pixel Buds 2a officially launched with a compact design, active noise cancellation, longer battery life and Gemini AI assistant, on sale from October 9 for only $129.
Compact design, all-day comfort
The Google Pixel Buds 2a are designed to be smaller and lighter than the previous A-series, inspired by the Pixel Buds Pro 2. The headphones have an adjustable rotating fixed ring and come with 4 ear tip sizes to suit many users.
The device is IP54 water and sweat resistant, giving you peace of mind when exercising or walking in the rain. Pixel Buds 2a comes in 2 colors: Iris and Hazel, perfectly synchronized with other Pixel devices.
Powerful sound quality thanks to the Tensor A1 chip
At the heart of the Google Pixel Buds 2a is the Tensor A1, a chip dedicated to audio processing, bringing active noise cancellation ANC with Silent Seal 1.5 to the A-series for the first time.
The headphones feature custom drivers and high-frequency resonance chambers for immersive music and podcasts. A windscreen and Google AI dramatically improve call quality.
The Google Pixel Buds 2a also have double the battery life of the first generation, providing 7 hours of continuous music listening with ANC on and up to 20 hours with the charging case. Notably, for the first time, the charging case can replace the battery to extend the product's life.
AI Gemini: smart assistant right in your ear
Google Pixel Buds 2a are integrated with Gemini, allowing you to listen - ask - work hands-free. From message summaries, coffee shop suggestions, to "Hey Google" voice control, it's all within earshot. Users can also customize the long-press action to call the assistant.
Smooth connection with Pixel phone
The headset supports Multipoint, easily switching between multiple devices at once, and Fast Pair for instant connection to Pixel phones.
The Find Hub feature helps you quickly find your headphones, showing the exact location on a map or playing a sound when nearby.
