Google Pixel Buds 2a leak shows a hot new color you can’t take your eyes off

Leaked renders hint at a colorful refresh for Google's affordable earbuds, with new Pixel Buds 2a finishes that could debut alongside the Pixel 10a launch.

Currently, the Google Pixel Buds 2a are available in two colors: Iris and Hazel. However, that could change soon. Google could refresh its affordable TWS earbuds with two new colors, and it might happen sooner than you’d have thought.

Folks over at Android Headlines seem to have got their hands on the “official images” of the new Pixel Buds 2a colors. One of them features a white charging case with a soft-green interior and earbuds, while the other features a standard charging case with bright pink-colored accents and earbuds.

A softer green and a bold pink

The bright-pink shade looks similar to the one we’ve seen on the Pixel 9a’s Peony finish. Although the official names of these colors aren’t known yet, they resemble the two new finishes rumored for the Pixel 10a: Fog and Berry.

In a previous report, the publication described Fog as a “soft off-white” shade, but I don’t think that’s the case here. There’s an obvious yet subtle green tone.

In both variants, there’s a thin accent band separating the charging case’s lid from the body, giving the devices a cool look (especially on the bright-red variant, which simply stands out).

Specs stay the same, launch timing lines up

Everything else about Google’s cheaper TWS earbuds, including dimensions, specifications, features, and their price tag ($129), should remain exactly the same as the Buds 2a launched in August 2025.

But when will the new Pixel Buds 2a arrive? The report suggests we might see them alongside the company’s upcoming A-series smartphone. Google could launch the Pixel 10a in February (or March), which would be the best time to reveal new finishes for an existing product in the lineup.
