Google introduces the Pixel Buds 2a, bringing active noise cancellation (ANC) to their A-Series earbuds, priced at $130. Announced alongside the Pixel 10 phones, this new model incorporates a Tensor A1 chip for enhanced performance, audio processing, and AI capabilities. The design borrows elements from the Pixel Buds Pro 2, featuring a ‘twist-to-adjust’ stabilizer for a secure fit, and is IP54 rated for dust and water resistance. Battery life is improved, offering up to 10 hours of use with ANC disabled. Pre-orders invited from today, with general availability set for October 9 in Hazel and Iris colors.
