In a now deleted Tweet by the official @Android Twitter account, Google promote their unannounced lower-cost true wireless earbuds.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday @Android<\/a> tweeted out a promotional image of the thought to be upcoming Pixel Buds. The post boasts “Quality sound” as well as “one-tap Bluetooth pairing with the updated Fast Pair experience”. The design of the buds appears to be very similar to existing Pixel Buds, while the UI on the photo shows a similar pairing experience to AirPods, Beats and AirTags on Apple devices. According to the text below “Pixel Buds A-Series”, once paired the buds are linked to an email address. The tweet was likely supposed to be scheduled for a later date and has since been deleted. Alternatively, Google wanted to drum up excitement prior to announcement and leaked the image on purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google launched their first generation Pixel Buds in 2017, with the second generation model debuting on stage alongside the Pixel 4 in October 2019,<\/a> before being sold in April 2020 for $179.<\/a> The second generation Pixel Buds were praised for the improvements upon the original model, hands-free Google-Assistant and a compact wireless charging case. The fit and battery life were average, while the lack of ANC was to be expected from similarly priced true wireless earbuds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The logical conclusion for the next generation of Pixel Buds would be active noise cancellation, however the A-Series of buds is thought to be a cheaper alternative to the current $179 model. Google’s A-series phones, such as the Pixel 4a, tend to be lower-cost alternatives to their flagship smartphones. This explains why there’s no sign of ANC in the promotional material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google I\/O 2021 is scheduled for May 18th. We’re expecting to see the Pixel Buds A-Series debut on stage here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
