Google’s Pixel Buds Pro 2 will hit shelves with these four enticing colors

Summary

• Google is expected to release Pixel Buds Pro 2 at an upcoming hardware event, featuring improvements in design and battery capacity.
• Leaks suggest the Pixel Buds Pro 2 will debut in four colors, matching new Pixel phone models, with noticeable design changes for better ANC.
• Google aims to make the Pixel Buds Pro 2 more comfortable and stylish, with potential upgrades in audio quality. Stay tuned for more details.

Google’s August hardware event is around the corner, and all eyes are on the company’s Pixel 9 series and Pixel Watch 3. However, let’s not forget that it’s been two years since Google released the original Pixel Buds Pro, and the earbuds need a solid refresh, especially with Samsung dropping its Galaxy Buds 3 Pro at this year’s Galaxy unpacked event.

So far, leaks and rumors about the Pixel Buds Pro 2 have not yet given us a clear idea of what to expect from Google’s next-generation earbuds. The latest leaks gave us hope that Google’s designers won’t be going the Samsung route with an AirPods-inspired design, instead sticking to a more traditional look. Other leaks hint at a 650mAh battery for the Pixel Buds Pro 2, which is a slight leap from the Pixel Buds Pro’s 620mAh.

Pixel Buds Pro 2 will debut in four colors at Google’s upcoming hardware event

The folks at Android Headlines have managed to get a sneak peek at the Pixel Buds Pro 2’s colors. As the outlet reports, the earbuds will be available in four shades: Charcoal, Porcelain, Aloe, and Hot Pink. That said, these colors are just the start, and Google could add more colors to the lineup as earbuds hit the shelves.

The original Pixel Buds Pro are available in six colors, and Google’s launching the successor right off the bat in four colors is a noticeable move. We’ve already seen the Porcelain and Charcoal colors in Pixel Buds Pro, and the Aloe color on the Pixel 8a. Meanwhile, Android Headlines says the Hot Pink color will match the new Pink Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro models.

As you can see in the above images, each bud’s grill is now more prominent than the original Pixel Buds Pro, presumably for better Active Noise Cancelation (ANC) and Transparency modes. Additionally, the grill on the buds could get the same colors as the body to add a polished and smooth look to Pixel Buds Pro 2. The overall design might also get some slight changes, such as a more ergonomic shape and lighter weight, to make the earbuds more comfortable to wear in the long run. Other upgrades like better audio quality are also expected.

While the Pixel Buds Pro were among our picks for the best wireless earbuds, there’s still room for improvement. We should learn more about Pixel Buds Pro 2 features along the way to Google’s August 13 event. Stay tuned.
