Since we are now into April and the new Google Pixel Buds (or Pixel Buds 2) have not yet arrived after a brief showing at one retailer over a month ago and a quick stop at the FCC, we were beginning to wonder the status of Google’s first true wireless earbuds. Had they been delayed? Are they still coming in the middle of this pandemic? A listing showed up over the weekend that may hint at an imminent launch.
Pre-order New Google Pixel Buds
The online store ABT posted up pre-order links for all 4 colors of the new Pixel Buds while revealing more details and specs. The listings sure look like finished listings you would see if a product was ready for people to buy, not the unfinished listings we saw from B&H Photo.
Outside of the images for each (which are not new), we have model numbers for each color track now: GA01471 (Oh So Orange), GA01918 (Quite Mint), GA01478 (Just Black), and GA01470 (Clearly White).
For features, the listings talk about the new Pixel Buds featuring “custom-designed” 12mm dynamic speaker drivers, sensors built to focus mics on your voice during calls, the customizable fit you’ll find, more on the spatial vents, touch controls (including volume), sweat and water resistance, “Hey Google” integration, quick pairing, and wireless charging.
