With Google‘s hardware event scheduled for August 13th, leaks are starting to surface about what to expect. While the focus will likely be on the Pixel 9 family and the Pixel Watch 3, a new leak suggests there might be another product joining the lineup: the Pixel Buds Pro 2.
The leak from usually reliable Dylan Roussel suggests that the Buds Pro 2 will come in four color options: Raspberry, Mojito, Porcelain, and Haze. The original Pixel Buds Pro was launched in 2022, so a refresh this year seems likely.
The “Raspberry” color is particularly interesting as it resembles the rumored pink colorway for the Pixel 9. The “Mojito” color is a light sage green, while “Porcelain” and “Haze” are more neutral options.
The Pixel Buds Pro 2 has also received UL Demko and Safety Korea certifications with the model number GH8tQ. The former certification reveals that the case has a Li-ion battery capacity of 650mAh, a slight upgrade from the 620mAh of the Pixel Buds Pro.
Google rates 31 hours of playback with ANC disabled on the original earphones, so we can expect a few more hours with the new model. The Safety Korea regulatory filing also includes a live image of the charging case battery unit.
Unfortunately, there isn’t much more known about the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2. So, let’s quickly review what the existing Buds Pro offers.
Pixel Buds Pro Specifications
The Pixel Buds Pro features a custom-made six-core audio processor and supports ANC for an interrupted listening experience. Google has fitted the buds with dedicated sensors that measure the pressure in your ear canal so the earbuds can actively relieve it and stay comfortable.
The Pixel Buds Pro also offers seamless switching between commonly used Android devices without the need to access the Bluetooth menu. The buds can also be connected to two audio sources at once.
Moreover, they offer a run-time of up to 7 hours with ANC active, and with the feature turned off, users can enjoy playback of up to 11 hours without the need to put it in the charging case. The earbuds offer wireless and quick charging and can last for up to one hour by charging only for 5 minutes. Lastly, the earbuds have an IPX4 splash-resistant rating while the case is rated for IPX2 water resistance.
