These days, earbuds are getting more and more popular and the technology behind them advances. Google was also trying to join Apple and Samsung, but unfortunately, the first-generation Pixel Buds had one major disappointment - they still had a cable, even though they were considered wireless.
Google announced their second-gen earbuds, this time truly wireless, last October, but before people can get their hands on them, they had to pass several tests. Last month, the buds successfully received a certification by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group. Earlier this month, the new earbuds were granted wireless charging certification.
This means that most probably Google is going to keep its promise of releasing them this spring.
Once released, the second-generation Pixel Buds will be available for $179 in the colors Oh So Orange, Almost Black, Quite Mint and Clearly White. Reportedly, the battery will offer 5 hours of playback, while their charging case will provide a total of 24 hours. Additionally, the earbuds will respond to Google Assistant's “Hey Google” and will therefore play music upon request and check the weather.
