Google's Pixel Buds 2a have leaked with an updated design, featuring a new case color matching the earbuds and cutouts for microphones, implying upgrades beyond audio. The design of the first-gen Pixel Buds A-Series will carry over, and it's unclear if hardware has been redesigned. Changes are expected in store.
Google's Pixel Buds 2a have surfaced with an updated design, according to a recent leak. The new design features a single color case that matches the earbuds, a departure from the previous Pixel Buds A-Series [2]. The leaked image also shows cutouts on the earbuds, which are believed to house microphones for active noise cancellation, a feature previously seen in the Pixel Buds Pro 2 [2]. This suggests that the Pixel Buds 2a may offer more than just audio upgrades.
The design of the Pixel Buds 2a appears to retain the basic case design of the first-gen Pixel Buds A-Series, with the new color scheme being the primary visual change. It is unclear whether the hardware has been redesigned, but the presence of the cutouts and the potential for active noise cancellation indicates that Google is likely introducing new features beyond just audio enhancements.
The leak comes ahead of Google's upcoming launch event, scheduled for August 20. At this event, Google is expected to unveil the Pixel 10 series, including the Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and a foldable variant called Pixel 10 Pro Fold, along with other hardware products such as the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a [1].
The updated design of the Pixel Buds 2a is a significant development, especially as Google prepares to introduce new features and technologies with its upcoming Pixel 10 series. The inclusion of active noise cancellation and a matching case color could make the Pixel Buds 2a a more attractive option for consumers seeking high-quality, feature-rich earbuds.
