Google Pixel Buds A-Series

Engadget Review
Google’s latest true wireless earbuds are a $99 version of the Pixel Buds it debuted in 2020. Surprisingly, the company kept nearly all of the features that made those buds such a good option for users who prefer Google Assistant. The company did nix the on-board volume controls and Adaptive Sound is still no replacement for ANC, but there’s a lot to like here for the price.
The biggest thing missing from last year’s Pixel Buds is wireless charging.
