Google has disrupted the budget wireless earbuds market with the launch of Pixel Buds 2a, bringing premium features previously reserved for high-end models to the masses. Priced at just ₹12,999 in India and $129 globally, these earbuds represent a strategic move to democratize advanced audio technology.
Breaking the Budget Barrier
The Pixel Buds 2a mark a significant milestone as the first A-series earbuds to feature Active Noise Cancellation.
Powered by Google’s custom Tensor A1 chip, these budget-friendly earbuds deliver Silent Seal 1.5 ANC technology that provides 1.5 times the noise cancellation of the original Pixel Buds Pro.
This is a game-changer for consumers who previously had to shell out over ₹20,000 for quality ANC in wireless earbuds.
Google has equipped the Pixel Buds 2a with a custom-designed speaker driver and a new high-frequency chamber, ensuring crisp audio quality that rivals premium offerings.
The enhanced acoustic design means your music and podcasts sound rich and detailed, regardless of the affordable price tag.
Revolutionary User-Replaceable Battery
Perhaps the most groundbreaking feature is the user-replaceable battery in the charging case.
Unlike most wireless earbuds that become e-waste once the battery degrades, the Pixel Buds 2a allow users to replace the case battery themselves, extending the product’s lifespan by years.
This eco-friendly approach also saves consumers from having to purchase entirely new earbuds when battery performance declines.
The earbuds offer impressive stamina – up to 7 hours of playback with ANC enabled and up to 20 hours total with the charging case.
With ANC turned off, battery life doubles compared to the first-generation Pixel Buds A-series.

Available in stylish Hazel and Iris colors, the Pixel Buds 2a come with an IP54 water resistance rating, making them suitable for workouts and daily commutes.
