Pixel Buds A

A bang-for-the-buck TWS with multiple features?

According to Google, the Pixel Buds A is a significant improvement compared to its predecessor. They are the same in terms of sound quality but the company is equipping this wearable with more features.

Stabilizer arc in the bud

The new Pixel Buds A appears similar to Pixel Buds but these come with a new 'stabilizer arc' inside each earbud. It is claimed to "ensure a gentle, but secure fit while spatial vents prevent that plugged ear feeling". 

These TWS also features an IPX4 water-resistance rating, making them resistant to sweat and water. It also sports custom-designed 12mm dynamic speaker drivers. Allegedly, these can produce full, clear, and natural sound. 

Users even have an option to activate Bass Boost to power up low tones. Each earbud is said to be connected to the sound source and has strong individual transmission, adding clarity to the sound without interruption.

As for the battery life, Pixel Buds A includes up to five hours of listening time on a single charge or up to 24 hours using the charging case. Google equipped this with a quick charge feature that enables it to charge inside the case for 15 minutes for a listening time of 3 hours.

Meanwhile, the Adaptive Sound feature in these buds is said to adjust the volume based on the user's surroundings. This can be pretty useful when you're moving from a quiet area then passing a noisy city street. 

Also, these new buds from Google use beamforming mics to focus on your voice and reduce outside noise. Once the call is over, you can play again your music by saying the voice command.

Since Google Assistant already built into this device, users can get quick hands-free help t change the volume or have notifications read to them by saying the keyword, "Hey Google". Aside from that, they can experience real-time translation in more than 40 languages right in their ear while using a Pixel or a device with Android 6.0 and above.

The Google Pixel Buds A comes in three colors: White, Black, and Olive Green.
