A new leak has now revealed the updated design of the upcoming Pixel Buds 2a just ahead of Google’s anticipated launch event. While not much is known about its specs as of now, here is a roundup of all we know about the buds.

Pixel Buda 2a – Leaked Renders

A recent Android Headlines report has shared what appears to be an official render of the earbuds in the “Iris” colour variant. The leaked image gives us a glimpse at the design changes, while also highlighting that Google is retaining some familiar elements from the first-generation Pixel Buds A-Series.

According to the leaked renders, the case design remains largely unchanged and follows the same structure Google has used across its Pixel Buds lineup.

However, a noticeable tweak is the use of a single uniform colour inside the charging case, matching the earbuds themselves. This is in contrast to Google’s “Pro” models, which typically have a black interior regardless of the earbud colour.

A more significant update can be spotted on the earbuds. The images show new cutouts that resemble those found on the Pixel Buds Pro 2. On that model, these cutouts house microphones used for active noise cancellation. The original Pixel Buds A-Series lacked this feature, suggesting that the Pixel Buds 2a might introduce enhanced functionality, potentially including ANC or other audio-related improvements.

As of now, we don’t have any word on hardware changes but we can expect more information to appear closer to the launch.
