Pixel Buds A-Series Release Date
Google revealed the Pixel Buds A-Series on June 3, 2021. News of a new pair of Pixel Buds first arrived in March 2021 by 9To5Google. Soon after, Google themselves inadvertently leaked an image of the earbuds in an email, and then a few months later tweeted about the earbuds.

Google Pixel Buds A-Series Features
One major change between these buds and the previous generations is that these shouldn’t have the same connection issues. Where the original Pixel Buds would establish a connection to your phone via just one earbud and then relay the signal to the other earbud, this pair connects both to your phone. Here are some other noteworthy features:
Touch controls so you can tap to answer calls, play and pause music, and skip tracks.Adaptive Sound increases/decreases the volume based on your surroundings.IPx4 water protection rating so you don’t have to worry about rain or sweat ruining them.Google Translate (including real-time translations) and Google Assistant are accessible via voice commands if you have an Assistant-enabled Android 6.0+ device and internet connection.Beamforming microphones focus on your voice and reduce outside noise.Find My Device lets you hear your Pixel Buds ring if they’re close or view their last known location on a map.
