The Pixel Buds 2A, which Google will position in the affordable wireless headset category, came to the agenda with a leaked visual before the introduction. The high resolution of the image indicates that this product is very close to gaining formalization. Google is expected to showcase this model with the Pixel 10 series on August 20. The leaked image contains a purple -tone headset and it is said that this color will be called “Iris ..
The fact that the image overlaps with previous leaks stands out as a remarkable detail. The design language of the headset is similar to the Pixel Buds A-Class, but some aesthetic changes are immediately noticed. Although the form of the charging box seems to be preserved, slight differences in the surface tissue stand out. This shows that Google prefers to renew the product without completely abandoning its existing user habits.
Expectations are high for Pixel Buds 2A
Pixel Buds 2A’s expectation is quite consistent in terms of expectation, design and naming that it is the continuation of the Pixel Buds A-Class. After the A-Class, which was released in 2021, a new model in this segment for three years has increased the user expectations. Google is thought to focus on improving battery performance and sound quality in this new model. It is aimed to offer a more balanced user experience by maintaining an affordable price tag.
Apart from the purple tone of the headset Iris, other color options are also on the agenda. The color alternatives called Strawberry, Hazel and Fog Light were also included in the previous leaks. Color variety offers an important advantage in terms of addressing different user profiles of the device. It is known that young users are interested in colorful hardware that can reflect their personal styles.
Although there is no clear information about the technical specifications of the device, there are some estimates. Active noise that is not included in the previous model may not be presented in this version. Nevertheless, it is said that the experience will improve with more advanced passive insulation and sound guidance software. Google assistant integration, fast matching and Bluetooth 5.3 support are among the expectations.
Users have longer -term expectations for battery life. The Pixel Buds A-Class offered a 5-hour listening time. In the new model, it seems likely to increase this period to six hours. The total period with the charging box may rise above 20 hours.
In terms of charging features, the USB-C connection is expected to maintain fast charging support. It is not yet known whether the wireless charging feature is offered. Nevertheless, a big surprise is not expected, since this feature is rarely found in the price-performance headphones in the middle segment. Software updates that directly affect the user experience will be presented after the launch.
In addition to all these, Pixel Buds 2A is likely to strengthen Google’s location in the hardware ecosystem. The Pixel 10 series is expected to work with phones, and the voice control systems and Google Home connection are expected to be presented more smoothly. This can allow users to experience an integrated experience with devices of a single manufacturer. Google’s approach in this field points to a more consistent hardware portfolio in the long run.
Although there is no official statement regarding the price of the device, it is estimated that the A-Class will remain in a similar range considering the output price. This can mean a label of around $ 100. Pixel Buds 2A is expected to stand out with its accessibility rather than competing with upper segment models like Pixel Buds Pro. Price-performance balance is expected to be the main determinant for this product.
As the introductory date approaches August 20, it would not be surprising that more leaks of the Pixel Buds 2A will emerge. The same day, the Pixel 10 series, as well as the Pixel Watch 4 will be introduced.
