Google’s upcoming true wireless earbuds, rumored to be called the Pixel Buds 2a, appear to be on the horizon. Recent leaks suggest a full lineup of colors; however, it remains unclear if these earbuds will officially launch under the “Pixel Buds 2a” name. The speculation primarily stems from a reliable source on X, @MysteryLupin, which has a history of accurate leaks, lending some credibility to the rumors. The Pixel Buds A-series are designed to provide consumers with high-quality true wireless earbuds at a more affordable price point.
This strategy mirrors Samsung’s approach with its Galaxy Buds FE and the recently introduced Galaxy Buds Core. When Google released the original Pixel Buds A-series, they came at a significantly lower cost compared to the Pixel Buds Pro, although this meant sacrificing certain features. It is expected that the Pixel Buds 2a will follow a similar pattern. According to the latest leaks, the Pixel Buds 2a will be available in four colors: Strawberry, Iris, Hazel, and Fog Light.
Google’s trend of offering four color options for its earbuds has been consistent, including for the current Pixel Buds Pro 2 and the original A-series. From the color names, we can infer that Hazel may resemble the hazel hue of the Pixel Buds Pro 2, while Strawberry is likely to be a vivid red or pink shade. Fog Light might be akin to white or off-white, and Iris could represent a purple or blue tone. Interestingly, Iris is also rumored to be a new color for the upcoming Pixel 10, suggesting that Google plans to synchronize the color schemes of its devices.
While all these details remain speculative, they hint at an exciting launch ahead for the Pixel Buds 2a.
