FULL STORY
======================================================================Buds 2a 
are predicted to launch on 20th August 2025 Leaks suggest ANC and Spatial 
Audio, but no head tracking Reports also suggest a 50% price hike in Europe 

It's been a few days since the last Google Pixel Buds 2a leak , so we're due 
another big one  and well-known leaker Evan Blass is happy to oblige. Posting 
on X , Blass has published a leaked spec sheet that fills in some of the 
blanks from previous leaks. 

The spec sheet also does something useful: it shows how the more affordable 
buds compare to the current Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 . (Image credit: Evan

Like the Buds Pro 2, the Google Pixel Buds 2a should have active noise 
cancellation, but they don't appear to have the Pros' Silent Seal, which 
adapts the ANC further based on the shape of your ears. 

There are three other key differences here: the Buds 2a get spatial audio, 
but they aren't getting head tracking; the Buds 2a don't have wireless 
charging; and they don't have conversation detection. The only other spec on 
the sheet is battery life, which is a promised 7 hours and 20 with the 
charging case. By comparison the Buds Pro 2 get 8 hours and 30 hours 
respectively. 

This isn't the only Google Pixel Buds 2a leak. According to the German tech 
site WinFuture , which has also posted new renders of the earbuds, there's 
going to be a price hike in Europe: where the Pixel Buds A were 99, the Buds 
2a will reportedly be 149. That's a huge price increase and if it's reflected 
in other markets would mean $149 / 149 / AU$195). 

On a related note: if you're already a Google Pixel Buds Pro user and don't 
want to buy new buds any time soon, there's a little bit of good news for 
you: Google is rolling out a nifty visual upgrade to Android's headphone and 
earbud status notifications to make it easier to check battery levels. Thanks 
to Android Police for that one. 

Of course, the Pixel Buds 2a leaks above are unofficial and should be treated 
as such speculation and possible feature sets, rather than stone cold 
reported fact. But when we know more about the unreleased Pixel Buds 2a, so 
shall you. You might also like Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 review: tiny earphones
