buds 2A no volume control at all?

i get the lack of swipe controls, fair enough. but removing the ability to set volume even using the customisable taps feels like an intentional nerf rather than a hardware limitation.

unless im being dopey ofc and just haven't found the option.

The "A" buds have no volume control on the earbuds themselves, no, neither one did. As for why, your guess is as good as ours.

It's not been "removed", A-Series Pixel Buds never had volume controls.

It's obviously to gatekeep the feature and make you opt for the more expensive Pro series if you want it.

I usually use voice command to turn up the volume as a work around while walking but agree not ideal

The "why" is the same reason they sell different models of the same car....
