Google Pixel Buds 2a Grey

With Silent Seal 1.5 Active Noise Cancellation, sound fine-tuned by the Google Tensor A1 chip and an 11 mm dynamic driver, the Pixel Buds 2a sit at the summit of the mid-range. Every earbud tips the scales at a mere 4.7 g and, paired with the USB-C case, offers as much as 20 h of listening with ANC engaged (27 h when ANC is switched off). IP54/IPX4 protection and the twist-to-fit stabiliser keep things comfortable and secure when you are on the move.

Even sound and intelligible calls

Tight low frequencies and well-defined mids come courtesy of the 11 mm driver, and a 5-band equaliser lets you tailor them. A pair of microphones plus a windscreen in each earpiece, working alongside Clear Calling and super-wideband, keep your voice audible even when it is blowing a gale.

Playback time and quick top-ups

As much as 10 hours of listening with ANC off, or 7 hours with it on; the case supplies a further 17 hours. A five-minute charge yields an extra 1 h with ANC, which is handy in a pinch.

Clever connections

Bluetooth 5.4 brings Multipoint and Fast Pair, and Audio Switch hops between devices on its own. Thanks to the case's speakerphone and Find Hub, tracking down your headphones is straightforward.

Build and eco-credentials

Four cushion sizes plus active pressure relief cut down on tiredness. 41% recycled materials go into the set, and the case battery can be swapped out to prolong its working life.
