About the Google Pixel Buds A-Series True Wireless In-Ear Headphones

Pixel Buds A-Series are true wireless in-ear headphones that connect over Bluetooth, with no cord. They use custom-designed 12 mm dynamic speaker drivers. Beamforming mics and noise reduction help keep calls clear.

The flush-to-ear design sits close to the ear, and a stabilizer arc helps keep the earbuds in place during strenuous workouts. The earbuds are sweat and water resistant, with an IPx4 water protection rating under IEC standard 60529. Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may be compromised by normal wear and tear, repair, disassembly, or damage.

Adaptive Sound adjusts the volume as you move between quiet and noisy environments. It requires a device running Android 6.0 or newer. With Find My Device, you can make the earbuds ring if they are nearby, or see their last known location on a map. The earbuds ring at gradually increasing volume. This requires Fast Pair with a device running Android 6.0 or newer, with location history enabled.
