Pixel Buds A Series Launched – Price And Specifications

After mistakenly unveiling the Pixel Buds A-Series on microblogging site Twitter last month, tech giant Google has quietly launched a new pair of affordable truly wireless earbuds, named the Pixel Buds A-Series.

The new earbuds intend to be a more affordable alternative to Google’s Pixel Buds earbuds, which were introduced in 2019 and launched last year. The Pixel Buds A-Series earbuds, while being a toned-down model, share a number of features with the previous-generation Pixel Buds. For example, you’ll get the same 12mm dynamic drivers that came with the previous model.

The earbuds also have a Bass Boost feature, which aims to provide a strong bass. The earbuds contain capacitive touch sensors which you can use to make and receive calls as well as to play music. Users can also activate Google Assistant. In-ear detection is assisted with a single IR proximity sensor, which helps play or pause music automatically.
