- 1Gemini-powered features require the Gemini mobile app on your compatible phone.
- 2Pixel Buds 2a are designed to comply with water protection rating IP54 under IEC standard 60529 when the device leaves the factory, and the case is rated IPX4, but they are not waterproof. Water resistance is not a permanent condition, and decreases or is lost over time due to normal wear and tear, device repair, disassembly or damage. Dry your Pixel Buds 2a and case after exposure to any liquids. Liquid damage voids the warranty.
- 3Requires Pixel 8 or newer.
- 4Requires Pixel 7 or newer. Availability and call quality depend on environment, network conditions and many other factors. Actual results may vary.
- 5All listening times are approximate, and were measured using music playback (continuous music at 50% volume) with pre-production hardware and software and fully charged Pixel Buds 2a and case, and Active Noise Cancellation turned on but other features disabled. Case is used to recharge Pixel Buds 2a. Use of other features will decrease battery life. Battery life depends on the device, features enabled, usage, environment and many other factors. Actual battery life may be lower.
- 6Based on product weight.
- 7Recycled rare-earth elements comprise less than a majority of magnet weight. Excludes magnets in the bud speakers, which do not use recycled rare-earth elements.
- 8Recycled tin is at least 80% of the solder paste based on weight.
- 9Recycled cobalt is at least 34% of the combined battery cell weight.
- 10Based on retail packaging (excluding adhesive materials and required plastic stickers) as shipped by Google. To meet the request of some retail partners, stickers and/or security tags are applied to some packaging variations and may contain plastic.
