The Google Pixel Buds A-Series offer nearly all the same features as the Pixel Buds 2 at half the price and with better bass response. They’re not the most comfortable true wireless earbuds, but we appreciate their slick design and built-in Google Assistant.

[...] Im Alltag sind die fehlende Lautstärkesteuerung über die Ohrhörer und der Verzicht auf Wireless Charging des Ladecases die Unterschiede, die man als Nutzer bemerkt. Der fehlende zweite IR-Sensor und der Verzicht auf Metall beim Treiberausgang sind in der Praxis hingegen nicht spürbar. [...]

These in-ears offer a lot for your money, including good sound performance, a great case, comfortable design, and deeply integrated Google Assistant. But external isolation is limited by design and there's no volume control on the 'buds themselves.

Der Verzicht auf ANC wiegt schwer, denn immer mehr In-Ears auch in dieser Preisklasse sind damit ausgestattet. Google schnürt aber ein attraktives Gesamtpaket, denn in puncto Haptik, Tragekomfort und Bedienung machen die Buds A-Series eine gute Figur. [...]

If you can live without things like wireless charging and noise cancelling - and want to prioritise smart features - then the Pixel Buds A-Series are the ones to buy.

The Google Pixel Buds A-Series are a solid cheap true wireless pair. Their clear and detailed sound is not the most adventurous, but the design and features are solid and Google Assistant integration is excellent.

A simpler set of wireless in-ears that strike a better balance between price and features than Google's last effort. They lack isolation and won't fit comfortably in all ears, though, and aren't significantly cheaper than better-equipped rivals
