Google Pixel Buds A update: New Charcoal colour option, price, availability, features

The feature-laden Google Pixel Buds A TWS earphones made their debut in July 2021. Despite offering a myriad of impressive features, the audio device doesn't cost a bomb. To recap, the Google Pixel Buds A were originally launched in Clearly White and Dark Olive colour options.

Now, the American tech giant has launched a third colour variant of the Google Pixel Buds A called Charcoal. Google unveiled the Pixel Buds A Charcoal colour option alongside the Pixel 7 series and Pixel Watch.

The new Charcoal colour option will set you back $99. Notably, they boast the same specs as the Dark Olive and Clearly White variants. You can head straight to the Google Store to pre-order the Charcoal Pixel Buds A-Series.

The Google Pixel Buds A is available in Charcoal colour option in the US, the UK, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Germany, France, and other countries. To recap, Google launched the Pixel Buds A as a more affordable Pixel Buds alternative.

The Pixel Buds A earbuds pack custom 12mm dynamic drivers. In other words, they are built to offer a crystal clear listening experience. Aside from this, the earbuds support Adaptive Sound. This feature detects ambient noise and adjusts volume levels accordingly.

On top of that, the earbuds can translate over a whopping 40 languages in real-time. However, this feature is available only on smartphones running Android 6.0 or later.
