Just days after Samsung made its Samsung made its Galaxy Buds 3 FE official, Google’s ushering in a new pair of similarly affordable, value-oriented earbuds, and I got to briefly try them. That’s right, the Pixel Buds 2a are officially official with a much more compact carrying case and in-ear design that resembles the more expensive Pixel Buds 2 Pro.
Google’s Pixel Buds 2a are priced at $129 / £129 / AU$239 and are up for preorder right now. However, just like the just-announced Pixel Watch 4 or Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and even the Pixel Buds 2 Pro in 2024, these earbuds won’t ship until October. Specifically, October 9, 2025, is the Pixel Buds 2a’s actual launch and when deliveries are expected to begin.
