Meet Pixel Buds 2a
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 incredible value.
Find your perfect fit
Designed for a comfortable and secure fit, Pixel Buds 2a are smaller and lighter than any other Pixel Buds A-series. Inspired by the design of Pixel Buds Pro 2, they feature a twist-to-adjust stabiliser 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 [1]. Pixel Buds 2a come in two colours — 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 can provide up to 7 hours of listening on a single charge, extending up 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 [2]. More battery and more bass.
Get help from Gemini — without taking out your phone
Pixel Buds 2a come with your new smart companion: Gemini. With hands-free help from AI, you can get things done, summarise messages, and even ask for coffee recommendations during your walk — all without taking out your phone. Just say, “Hey Google” or customise press and hold gestures to reach your digital assistant.

Pixel Buds 2a is also the perfect complement to your Pixel phone. Seamlessly switch between devices, with Multipoint, which lets you connect with multiple devices at the same time or quickly pair with Fast Pair, so you can stay productive, even when your hands are full.
And with Find Hub, your buds won’t stay missing for long. This app lets you find the precise location of your earbuds (and other devices) on a map, and you can even ring the buds when you’re nearby to find them faster.

Notes:
- Pixel Buds 2a are designed to comply with water protection rating IP54 under IEC standard 60529 when the device leaves the factory, and the case is rated IPX4, but they are not waterproof. Water resistance is not a permanent condition and decreases or is lost over time due to normal wear and tear, device repair, disassembly or damage. Dry your Pixel Buds 2a and case after exposure to any liquids. Damage from drops, impacts and other external forces are not covered under the Limited Warranty but you may still have certain rights available to you under applicable consumer law.
- All listening times are approximate and were measured using music playback with pre-production hardware and software, with fully charged Pixel Buds 2a and case, and Active Noise Cancellation and other features disabled. Case is used to recharge Pixel Buds 2a. Charging times are approximate. Use of other features will decrease battery life. Battery life depends on device, features enabled, usage, environment and many other factors. Actual battery life may be lower.
