Pixel Buds 2a Fall to $99, Add ANC and Gemini Hands-Free

Google’s Pixel Buds 2a have dropped to $99 on Amazon, down $30 from a $129 list price — a 23% discount. The A-series picks up active noise cancellation for the first time and uses the Tensor A1 chip from the Pixel Buds Pro 2 to handle ANC and audio processing. Silent Seal 1.5 and wind-blocking mesh reduce ambient noise, while an 11mm dynamic driver and a five-band equalizer let you shape the sound.

The redesigned body borrows fit improvements from the Pro 2, including a twist-to-adjust stabilizer, and in-ear detection automatically pauses and resumes audio. Battery life is seven hours with ANC active or 10 hours without, extending to 20 and 27 hours respectively with the charging case.

The buds offer IP54 sweat resistance, multipoint Bluetooth, Fast Pair and Find Hub support, and work with iOS, Windows and other Bluetooth 4.0+ devices.
