A month after it accidentally announced the Pixel Buds A on Twitter, Google has finally unveiled its new TWS earbuds. The new earbuds bring the Pixel Buds experience for about half the price just the way the Pixel A phone line offers the Pixel phone experience at a more affordable price tag.
Priced at $99, almost half the $199 price tag of the regular Pixel Buds, the Pixel Buds A largely resembles its more expensive sibling, save for the colors. It is available in two colors – Clearly White and Dark Olive – with a glossy finish.
The earbuds are said to be comfortable and designed to stay in even when you work out. They have a flush-to-ear design and a stabilizer arc to keep them in place. Google ships it with three eartip sizes. The Pixel Buds A have Adaptive Sound and will automatically adjust the volume to fit your surroundings.
Control is via touch, so you can answer calls and control playback by imply tapping on the buds. You don’t need to tap to call up the Google Assistant, just say “Ok Google or Hey Google” and you can ask a question, get a translation, or have your notifications read out to you.
The Pixel Buds A pairs with a single tap to your Android device. The earbuds are rated IPX4, so you don’t have to worry about rain or sweat. The battery life is put at 5 hours (2.5 hours for calls) and goes up to 24 hours with the charging case.
If you misplace your earbuds, you will be able to find them with Find My Device. The earbuds will ring if they are nearby or show their last known location on the map.
You can pre-order the Pixel Buds A starting today and will be available starting June 17.
