It was last summer that Google officially launched – and for the international market – its Pixel Buds, some new real wireless headphones which ended up going on sale in Europe for 199 dollars. Almost a year later, the company introduced a more modest version in terms of price and performance.
The Pixel Buds A are official and, as disclosed a few weeks ago, they are arriving in two different colors: in white and olive green. Among the features they share with the top-of-the-line model, touch-sensitive control buttons and instant access to the Google Assistant stand out.
