Google simply released its Pixel Buds A-Series, a more affordable version of the Pixel Buds that released with the Pixel 5 in 2020. The outcome is an extremely comparable product to the weight, size, hardware, fit, and noise, but with a couple of key distinctions and a much lower $99 cost point.
Just what do you lose out on if you wish to save $80? Basically, the Buds A-Series do not have wireless charging, and it does not have the speculative Attention Alerts features. Whatever else is the same on paper and all of the features are still here.

You still get touch controls on each Bud, and you are still able to utilize either Bud by itself if you want. Hands-Free “Hey Google” commands work the same, and in-ear detection is present too. Lets see whats in package.
These Buds look and feel identical to the 2020 Pixel Buds. With the buds inside, the case weighs in at 53g, making for an 8-gram decrease of weight without the wireless charging coil. Each Bud weighs just 5 grams.
The Pixel Buds A-Series now makes Googles offering more inexpensive than Apples entry-level AirPods, which start at MSRP $159. What do you believe of the new Pixel Buds A-Series? Are you men down for us to examine them?
The Pixel Buds A-Series consists of 3 ear-tip sizes, a USB-A to USB-C charging cable television, and a flying start guide. On a more in-depth note, the product packaging is built with a flip-up cover that wants to cut some of the production cost.
The A-Series case is a number of millimeters much shorter in length, also. The Buds and their fit is otherwise identical to the Pixel Buds (2020 ).
