Google's Pixel Buds Pro and Pixel Buds A-Series might not be at the top of our list of the best wireless earbuds, but they have a lot going on for them.

We've come a long way when it comes to wireless earbuds. While it used to be that you had to sacrifice features in order to find a pair at an affordable price point, that's no longer the case, with plenty of great options now on the market from a variety of different brands. Although the Google Pixel Buds A-Series aren't the best wireless earbuds out right now, they're still a great option, with Google still offering support for the earbuds through software updates. Although a successor isn't on the horizon, it looks like Google is preparing a new color option, which could makes it debut in the coming months.

The Pixel Buds A-series has received updates in the past, fixing a buggy bass slider, with a larger update prior, that brought plenty of new features. But it looks like now, a new update has rolled out to the Google Pixel Buds A-Series, getting its first update for the year. The new firmware update comes in as version 3.519.0 and while there isn't a changelog at this time, given that it's a minor update, this will most likely mean just some bug fixes.

Google Pixel Buds A-Series Review: Buy it for the convenience, not just for the sound

The Google Pixel Buds A are a pair of affordable truly wireless earphones from Google with toned down features compared to the Pixel Buds.

Google usually has a very neat and uncluttered portfolio, with just a few options. The company broke tradition when it introduced the A series with the Pixel 3A and it was essentially a more affordable, toned-down version of its flagship phone. The product was a success thanks to a lower price tag and the fact that it came with Google's software. While the hardware wasn't great, Google was handling the software directly which meant users would get Android updates for three years and the same sort of camera processing found on the more expensive sibling. Google continued this trend with the Pixel 4a, the Pixel 4a 5G, and now more recently, the Pixel 5a (5G).

In June this year, Google launched an affordable pair of TWS earbuds dubbed Pixel Buds A-series. At the time, the company launched the earbuds in the US and Canada only, but it's now bringing them to more markets. The Pixel Buds A-series is now up for pre-order in the UK and Europe, and it will go on sale in India starting August 25th.

Earlier this month, Google unveiled a new pair of earbuds, dubbed Pixel Buds A. Google’s latest truly wireless earphones are a watered-down version of the more premium Pixel Buds that launched last year. While earbuds were available for pre-order since the launch day, there was no confirmation when they would actually go on sale. But that changes today. Two weeks after being announced, the Pixel Buds A are now finally on sale in the US.

Google unveils a more affordable pair of earbuds called Pixel Buds A

Google has just unveiled the Pixel Buds A-Series, bringing most of what makes the Pixel Buds great and bringing that to a lower price point.

The Pixel Buds lineup has a rocky, and oddly Google-worthy, story. The first ones were introduced to the market in 2017, and featured a braided cable between both buds, so they weren't truly wireless. They also suffered from other flaws that detracted from their overall appeal, at least compared to other earbuds in the market. I owned ones and I loved them despite those flaws, but they suffered from criticism from both users and reviewers alike, and I saw where the criticism came from. The second-gen Pixel Buds introduced years later were all-around a better product, but at $179, they could still be considered a hard pass for some, especially compared to their competition. Now, Google has introduced a more affordable pair of wireless earbuds, the Pixel Buds A.
