You might think that, given my general proclivity for luxury cans and expensive speakers, the likes of the Google Pixel Buds 2a would fall below my interest. That couldn't be further from the truth, but I'm still surprised by how much I'm looking forward to getting Google's affordable buds in my hands (and ears) for testing.
They might cost more, but they seem to address every single criticism you could have levelled at the old model. More battery, ANC and a better fit all seem to be worth the extra $30 in my mind. I'm interested to see just how good they can be, given the strength of some of the competition at that price as well.
