Google may soon expand the color lineup of its Pixel Buds 2a. Android Headlines has published official-looking renders showing the earbuds in two new color options, which are expected to be added alongside the existing Hazel and Iris variants. The Pixel Buds 2a have been available in those two colors since their launch in August last year.

While Google has not confirmed the official names, the new shades are expected to align with the rumored Pixel 9a color palette. These are likely to be called Fog and Berry. Visually, the Fog option appears as a light gray finish, while Berry is a soft pink tone. The pink version closely resembles the Peony color seen on recent Pixel devices and is clearly aimed at users who want a more eye-catching look.

Aside from color, nothing else has changed. The Pixel Buds 2a keep the same design and hardware. The charging case remains white on the outside for both new colors, while the interior matches the earbuds themselves, similar to the existing variants.

The Pixel Buds 2a are designed using data from over 45 million ear scans to improve comfort and fit. The earbuds carry an IP54 rating for sweat and water resistance, while the charging case is rated IPX4. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.4 with Super Wideband support, which improves call quality and connection stability.

Powering the earbuds is the Google Tensor A1 chip, paired with 11 mm dynamic drivers. Features include Active Noise Cancellation with Silent Seal 1.5, Transparency mode, active in-ear pressure relief, stereo spatial audio, and a 5-band equalizer. Voice calls benefit from a wind-blocking mesh and Google AI-powered noise reduction.

Battery life is rated at up to 7 hours with ANC on and up to 20 hours with the charging case. With ANC disabled, usage increases to 10 hours on the earbuds and 27 hours with the case. A 5-minute quick charge provides up to one hour of playback. Charging is done via USB-C, and the case includes a replaceable battery.

Additional features include hands-free Gemini access, tap controls, Pixel-Perfect Pairing, multipoint switching, and Find Hub support. Each earbud includes two microphones, infrared in-ear detection, and capacitive touch controls.

The post Google Pixel Buds 2a Fog and Berry Color Options Leak Ahead of Launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Back in August, Google launched the Pixel Buds 2a in the global market, expanding its A-Series earbuds lineup. The earbuds are now available to purchase in India through the Google India online store.

The Pixel Buds 2a are built using data from over 45 million ear scans to ensure a comfortable fit. They come with an IP54 rating for sweat and water resistance, while the charging case has an IPX4 rating. Each earbud uses Bluetooth 5.4 with Super Wideband support for improved call clarity and stable connectivity.

They are powered by the Google Tensor A1 chip and feature 11 mm dynamic drivers, Active Noise Cancellation with Silent Seal 1.5, Transparency mode, and active in-ear pressure relief. The earbuds also include stereo spatial audio, a 5-band equalizer, and a wind-blocking mesh for clearer voice calls powered by Google AI.

Battery life is rated at up to 7 hours with ANC on and 20 hours with the charging case. With ANC off, the earbuds can last up to 10 hours and 27 hours with the case. A 5-minute quick charge gives one hour of playback. Charging is done through a USB-C port, and the case has a replaceable battery.

Other features include hands-free Gemini access, tap controls for playback and calls, Pixel-Perfect Pairing, multipoint switching, and Find Hub support. Each earbud has two microphones, a capacitive touch sensor, infrared in-ear detection, and a Hall Effect sensor in the case.

The Pixel Buds 2a use 41 percent recycled materials, including 100 percent recycled rare earth magnets, tin, and cobalt. The packaging is completely plastic-free.

Pricing & availability

The earbuds are available in Hazel and Iris colors for ₹12,999. Buyers can also get up to 12 months of no-cost EMI using major bank cards.

The post Google Pixel Buds 2a Now Available in India: Offers Tensor A1 Chip, ANC with Silent Seal 1.5, and AI Voice Features appeared first on Gizmochina.

Google just dropped the Pixel Buds 2a, and they’re looking pretty solid for the price. At $129 in the US (₹12,999 in India), they’re sitting right between Samsung’s pricier Galaxy Buds 3 FE at $150 and Google’s own premium Pixel Buds Pro 2 at $229. You can grab them starting October 9th.

Google Pixel Buds 2a Specifications

What’s interesting is that Google managed to squeeze the design DNA from their flagship Pro 2 model into something smaller and lighter. Each bud weighs just 4.7 grams, which is nice if you’re wearing them for hours. They’ve got these stabilizing wings with a twist-to-fit mechanism, and Google says they based the fit on data from over 45 million ear scans; that’s a lot of ears. You can get them in Iris (a purple shade) or Hazel (grey), and they’re IP54 rated, so sweat and splashes won’t kill them.

The big news here is that active noise cancellation finally made it to Google’s budget A-Series. They’re calling it Silent Seal 1.5, plus there’s a transparency mode when you need to hear what’s going on around you. The 11mm drivers have been redesigned and are powered by Google’s Tensor A1 chip, and you get a five-band EQ to tweak the sound how you like it. There’s also spatial audio for that surround sound feel.

For calls, each bud packs two mics with wind-blocking mesh and AI noise reduction. They run Bluetooth 5.4 with Super Wideband, can connect to multiple devices, and if you’ve got a Pixel phone, the pairing process is supposedly seamless. Lost an earbud? The Find Hub feature should help track it down. Everything’s controlled through touch gestures, including quick access to Google Gemini.

Battery life is solid, with 7 hours of use with ANC on, and it can be extended to a total of 20 hours with the case. A 5-minute quick charge gets you another hour, which is clutch when you’re rushing out the door. The case is lighter than before and has a replaceable battery, which is actually pretty cool.

Google’s also playing up the eco-friendly angle here. The buds use 41% recycled materials, with the magnets, solder, and batteries being 100% recycled. Even the packaging ditched plastic entirely.

In related news, Google has also launched the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro flagships with AI-driven features and premium pricing, alongside the Pixel Watch 4 with a domed display, satellite SOS, Snapdragon W5 Gen 2, and over 50 workout modes.
