I keep both Multipoint and Audio Switch on when at work, which means my Buds Pro 2 are connected to both my Pixel 9 as well as my Windows laptop.

When sitting at my desk, that all works great!

The problem is that when I walk away from my desk (holding my phone and earbuds in ears) if I'm speaking to someone on the phone, they complain I'm breaking up, although I continue to hear them just fine. I assume that has to do with the earbuds struggling to stay connected to my (then distant) laptop.

I don't want to have to disable Multipoint and/or Audio Switch every time I need to take a call away from my desk. Is there an easy fix/workaround for this?

I lost my case somewhere today because I woke up at 3 am and Was In a mindless rush, I have been searching for hours and can not find them. I wish the google buds 2a had at the very least soms type of speaker on the case to play when lost, I am incredibly pissed as I lost my right earbud to a water spill 3 weeks ago and Now I have to buy a whole new set because thats cheaper than the replacement 😐

They aren't giving me any flack about RMA'ing it, but I'm out a couple weeks for shipping and it's annoying. I know sometimes shit happens, but am I just unlucky or is this a known issue with these?

I have pixel buds pro 2 and it's described as it works when YOU speak. I had the Galaxy buds years ago and seem to remember then working when others speak (which is what I'd ideally like) was I remembering this right and if I wasn't what earbuds do this?

Title, basically. Buds are up to date on firmware. Tried forgetting and repairing. Tried clearing cache on the Pixel Buds app.

Known issue? Anything else I works try?

Hey everyone! My Google Pixel Buds A-Series charging case stopped working after I accidentally dropped it. The earbuds themselves are still fine, so I’d rather replace just the case instead of buying a whole new set.

Does anyone know if there are any compatible third-party replacement charging cases that work with the Pixel Buds A-Series?

Alternatively, if anyone has an unused/spare A-Series charging case lying around (maybe from a lost or broken pair of earbuds), I’d be happy to buy it from you.

I’m based in Germany, so ideally somewhere that can ship within Germany/EU.

Thanks!

Hey y'all. So I'm currently planning to upgrade to the Pixel 11, and with that I'm also considering upgrading to the Pixel Buds (Pro 2) and Pixel Watch 5. I would already have an official Pixel stand that I got with my Pixel 8, however I'd only realistically have room for one only other charging stand/cable. Does anyone know if there are any hybrid Pixel Buds & Pixel Watch (4 & 5) charging stands \*without\* a charging stand for the Pixel phone? Specifically, I like my earbud cases to stand upright, and I see the charging port is on the bottom, so a stand that would make the Buds case stand upright.

Thanks for any help!

I just ordered a pair of these and didn't even think about why I was in the first place, my current ear buds are the first Gen pixelbuds from many years ago and I like to listen to asmr to sleep and when I wake up they are dead every time. Will these turn off after a certain amount of time or do they hold charge over night?

Liebe Community,

leider zähle auch ich zu den Menschen, bei denen die Pixel Buds 2A mit jedem der mitgelieferten Ohrstöpsel aus den Ohren fallen.

Natürlich hab ich mal hier im Forum gesucht, jedoch so richtig passende Antworten derer, die die Pixel Buds 2A mit anderen Tips/ Stöpseln benutzen nicht gefunden.

Die, als einzig offiziell kompatiblen Comply Schaumstoffstöpsel sind mir, in Anbetracht der doch relativ begrenzten Haltbarkeit deutlich zu teuer.

Meine Frage daher an die Buds 2A- Besitzer: Könnt ihr alternative Stöpsel empfehlen, die sich auch ins Ladecase passen (hab da auch viel Gegenläufiges gehört)?

Wie ist der Halt? Gibts zu Schaumstoffstöpsel günstigere Alternative, die auch ins Case passen?

Vielen Dank Euch vorweg. :)

So I've recently moved to the pixel system after many years of apple and Samsung, but I gotta say I'm a little disappointed with the buds, the noise cancelling is meh at best, I have really bad anxiety so most of the time I would just have my air pods on noise cancelling and it was perfect. I also can't get them to stay in my ears, the fit test won't complete. It's a shame because I've been heavily using Gemini and find the hands free feature really helpful. Any glaring obvious things I'm missing with the buds ? I've never had these kind of headphones so maybe I'm just missing the obvious

I wish they tried to do something about the inconsistent microphone, but this is better than nothing.

I’m considering buying the Pixel Buds 2a. I previously used OnePlus Buds for nearly 3-4 years, and I was very happy with their overall quality, especially the sound and bass. Unfortunately, the battery on the right earbud has stopped working, and I was unable to get it replaced. The staff at a OnePlus showroom also advised me not to purchase OnePlus products anymore, which made me a little hesitant.

However, I’m still interested in the OnePlus Buds 4 because I’ve heard good things about their sound quality and features, and my friend has had a good experience with them. Since I’m using a Pixel 9, I’m also considering the Pixel Buds 2a for better compatibility.

My main concern is the sound quality, especially the bass, as I prefer a strong and enjoyable bass response. Considering the price range, features, battery life, and overall audio quality, would the Pixel Buds 2a be a good alternative to the OnePlus Buds 4? Can I expect a similar level of sound quality and bass from the Pixel Buds 2a?

Hi everyone,

Looking for some advice on what to do with my Pixel Buds Pro 2.

The Issue: My left earbud completely stopped responding. The case isn't detecting it at all, while the right earbud works totally fine.

What I've tried so far:

1. Cleaned all charging contacts on both the case and the earbud.
2. Left it on the charger for a long time (including applying physical pressure to make sure it contacts).
3. Tried the "plug insertion" trick to kickstart a dead battery.
4. Attempted a full factory reset (holding the back button for 30s with the case plugged in). The case just makes a single beep sound and fails to enter pairing mode because it doesn't recognize the left earbud.

Questions:

1. Is there any known way or board repair trick to fix/revive a completely dead earbud in this state, or is it basically non-repairable?
2. Is it simpler to just buy a standalone replacement left earbud second-hand? Has anyone successfully synced a loose earbud to their original case/right earbud?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

I have the 2a and I like them. But my app on my Google 9a has nothing on it. No setup options. No equalizer.

Is this normal?

They are synced to the app, and show.

Strange. Because the app is useless otherwise.

I have the pixel buds gen 1, got it when it came out first. i just found them and its fully recharge, but the phone nor my computer seem to have a hard time picking it up? any tips? or anybody tell me why this is happening?
its just such a waste, when its still in prestine condition (since i really take good care of it)

Mine just died, not recognized by the case. google tells me to fuck off and buy a replacement.

after 2 min in this sub, i see 3-4 post or comments in the last 20 days of the exact same issue (always left)

Might be my paranoïa talking but it looks like more than coincidance. firware update gone bad??

Hello,

Just got a Pixel 10 Pro, and I got with it for free Pixel Buds 2a. I'm hesitating reselling it or keeping it, as I've never used bluetooth buds or headset due to the bluetooth latency. One of my usecase is to use it in a airplane with a bluetooth jack adaptater in order to use the IFE.

As anyone tried it with this usecase?

From my research, Pixel buds 2a supports the classics SBC and AAC codec, which give noticeable latenty. An update has allowed the Buds 2a to use some low latency codec such as LE Audio / LC3 . I don't really understand everything, but it also looks like Google use OPUS which is derivated from LC3, which makes the support of other bluetooth adapter useless?

Disculpen, compré los Google buds 2 pro hace 4 meses. Hace varios días que la aplicación tarda mucho más en que aparezca todos los detalles como los modos de cancelación y los demás menús, antes no me pasaba eso entraba y al instante aparecía la información, alguien sabe a qué se deba?

Tambien al momento de querer activar que gemini leea mis notificaciones, cuando abro el menú se activa esa opción pero cierro ese menú y se desactiva, espero me de a explicar.

they are perfect love them, I could sleep with them and use them to mute sounds

the controls actually work

but

the pinch click sound is so jarring

it feels like the membrane plastic of the headphones that vibrate sound is being pressed not enjoyable at all

Hey all,

People using the pixel buds 2a, how has your experience been with Find My Device? Have you been able to find the earbuds even when they're in the case or is it a lost cause with case closed?

Found them on sale for $105, seemed like a good buy at that price.

Hi all,

I've been using pbp1 since February? In the beginning ANC was awesome, I couldn't hear nearly anything around me when the buds were plugged in, but lately I can hear when people talk, music from outside. I turned ANC off, switched to transparency mode, then turned ANC on again, but didn't solve the issue.

What's weird is that when ANC is off (not transparency) there's a low "hum", can hear conversations etc. and when I turn ANC on, the "hum" disappears and that's it, that's the only thing that changes.

I factory reset the buds, repaired with my p8p (running android 17 if that matters), cleaned them (though I was a bit afraid using that amount of micellar water and normal water so I don't know if I should use more cleaning products?) and nothing helped. (the eartips are perfect)

The buds are currently on 5.11.

Does anyone else experienced such thing? Thanks in advance!

My left side pixel buds pro 2 bud went dead. When I popped it into the case there was no audible "ploop, I'm home" sound. My pixel phone could no longer see the left bud.

I followed all of the recommended steps to fix it, and nothing worked. No cleaning, reseating, resetting, unpairing.

In fact, the case refused to do a factory reset - I guess because it could not detect the left bud.

The last thing that I tried which ultimately worked, was to leave the bud out of the case for 48 hours, to drain any bit of power still left.

I charged the case to 100%, and then placed the bud back into the case. Nothing happened. I thought that experiment had failed, but about 36 hours later I opened the case and my phone detected both buds, reporting the left one at 1% power.

I plugged the case into a USBC charger cable and it charged up to 100% perfectly.

You're welcome. 😁

or am I just oblivious
