A few months ago, Google launched its second true wireless earphones in the market — Pixel Buds A which carries a starting price of $99.99. Google was expected to launch a premium offering, a successor to the Pixel Buds 2 but instead, the company announced an affordable variant in the form of Pixel Buds A.
Now, the technology giant has stopped selling the original Pixel Buds, its first true wireless earphones in the market. The company is yet to confirm the discontinuation through an official statement but the product has disappeared from the company’s online store in the United States, confirming the development.
And not only Google’s online store, but the Pixel Buds are also not available for purchase through other stores like Best Buy. However, there’s a refurbished version of the headset available for purchase but it’s carrying a hefty price tag.
It will be interesting to see what Google has planned for its upcoming true wireless earphones to compete against the likes of Apple AirPods 3 and Samsung Galaxy Buds 2. We expect the search engine giant to launch a successor to the Pixel Buds pretty soon with some premium features like Active Noise Cancellation.
The Google Pixel Buds A comes in two color options — Clearly White and Dark Olive. It comes with features like Adaptive Sound and can automatically adjust the volume to fit your surroundings. There are touch-based controls for answering calls and control playback by simply tapping on the buds. The earbuds are rated IPX4, so you don’t have to worry about rain or sweat. The battery life is around 5 hours (2.5 hours for calls) and goes up to 24 hours with the charging case.
