Google first revealed an updated line of Pixel Buds in October of last year, but there's still no firm release date beyond "spring." A product listing at B&H appeared two months ago, saying the buds were "coming soon," but that was later removed. Now another page about the Pixel Buds 2 has been made available, and even though it has already been taken down, nothing on the internet is ever truly deleted.
Abt Electronics, a US-based retail store, was temporarily taking pre-orders for the Pixel Buds 2 before
the product page was removed. The price was set at $179.00, which matches what Google originally said the buds would cost. While the product name is listed as 'Pixel Buds 2,' both Google's initial announcement and the previously-published B&H product listing simply called them 'Pixel Buds,' so the official name likely doesn't include the number.
There isn't much in the way of new information here, but the page does confirm that the new buds offer 12mm dynamic speaker drivers, a fitted design "built with a three point anchor system," touch controls, water resistance, and one-tap pairing on any device with
Fast Pair support. Below is the full product description.
