Pixel Buds 2a is here, the newest member of the Pixel Buds family. Our latest edition of A-series buds has a comfortable, lightweight design and is the first in our A-series to offer Active Noise Cancellation. Powered by Tensor A1 and enhanced with Google AI, these buds offer impressive sound and the added helpfulness of Gemini, all at an incredible value.

Find your perfect fit

Designed for a comfortable and secure fit, Pixel Buds 2a are smaller and lighter than Pixel Buds A-series. Inspired by the design of Pixel Buds Pro 2, they feature a twist-to-adjust stabilizer and four eartips so you can find the fit that’s best for you. And they have an IP54 sweat and water resistance rating, so don’t worry if you get caught in the rain while you’re going for a run. Pixel Buds 2a come in two colors — Iris and Hazel — that beautifully complement your other Pixel devices and your style.

Experience impressive sound powered by Tensor A1

At the heart of Pixel Buds 2a is Tensor A1, purpose-built for audio processing. This chip brings a first for our A-series buds: Active Noise Cancellation with Silent Seal 1.5 (ANC).

Our audio performance takes a significant leap forward with a custom-designed speaker driver and new high-frequency chamber, ensuring your music and podcasts sound incredible. And thanks to wind-blocking mesh covers and Google AI, you can expect clear call quality for both you and your caller.

You'll also get twice the listening time of the first-generation Pixel Buds A-series when noise cancellation is off. Even with Active Noise Cancellation on, Pixel Buds 2a provide 7 hours of listening on a single charge, extending to 20 hours total with the charging case. These Pixel Buds are built to last — from getting better overtime with software updates to extending its life with a replaceable case battery for the first time. More battery and more bass.
