Google Pixel Buds 2a

Our verdict: Google - On sale now. The Pixel Buds 2a is the Pixel earbud for a buyer who wants Google features at the lowest price in the range: active noise cancellation with Silent Seal 1.5, transparency mode, Gemini hands-free, and up to 10 hours per charge with noise cancellation off, or 27 hours with the case. The trade-off is battery life with noise cancellation on, at 7 hours per charge and 20 hours with the case, and an IP54 rating that covers splashes rather than submersion. At $129.00 at Amazon.com, checked 2026-11-04, it suits a Pixel phone owner who wants noise cancellation and Gemini on a budget; a buyer who wants longer listening with noise cancellation on should look at the OnePlus Buds 4 or the Samsung Buds3 FE.
