- The Google Pixel Buds 2a are set to debut as a more economical alternative to the Pixel Buds Pro 2, with a similar design.
- Launching alongside the Pixel 10 on August 20, the earbuds will be available in two colors: Iris (light lilac) and a darker shade, possibly Hazel.
- Notable design adjustments include the removal of the 'stabiliser arc,' replaced by a rear 'stabiliser nubbin,' which aims to enhance fit and comfort.
- As successors to the Pixel Buds A-Series (2021), the 2a model is expected to feature Google Assistant integration and improved design, with a price increase anticipated.
- While lacking advanced features like Conversation Detection, wireless charging, and head-tracking spatial audio, the 2a offers competitive performance and noise cancellation.
