The latest Pixel Buds Pro 2 leak brings bad news for buyers
- A new leak suggests that the Pixel Buds Pro 2 will cost $229 in the US, €249 in the EU, and £219 in the UK.
- The original Pixel Buds Pro were priced at $199, €229, and £199, respectively.
- Recent leaks suggest the new earbuds will come in four new colors and feature a slightly tweaked design.
It’s been a while since Google dropped the Pixel Buds Pro, and it looks like the wait for a new pair of wireless earbuds is almost over. With the Pixel 9 series set to debut at Google’s August 13 launch event, rumor mills are churning about the possibility of the Pixel Buds Pro 2 making an appearance. Now we even have a fresh leak about how much Google’s next flagship earbuds could cost.
The good folks over at Dealabs have managed to snag not just the EU price but also the US and UK prices for the Pixel Buds Pro 2. If their info is on the money, the Buds Pro 2 will set you back $229 in the US, €249 in the EU, and £219 in the UK. Compared to the first-gen Buds Pro, that’s a bit of a price hike — $30 more in the US, €20 more in the EU, and £20 more in the UK.
Today’s leak also suggests that the official color names for the Buds Pro 2 will be Hazel, Porcelain, Wintergreen, and Peony.
Earlier this week, we got a glimpse of the Pixel Buds Pro 2’s design and color options, courtesy of Android Headlines. From the looks of it, the new earbuds will sport the same case design as the original Buds Pro, with a few tweaks to the earbuds themselves, including a winged design.
The last Pixel Buds Pro were always getting discounts, so we were hoping these new ones would be a good deal right out of the gate. But it looks like Google has gone in the opposite direction. Let’s hope that the buds come packed with some serious upgrades in sound quality and ANC to make that price bump worth it.
In terms of what else we know, a regulatory listing from UL Demko and Safety Korea suggests that the charging case’s battery capacity could jump to 650mAh, compared to the original’s 620mAh. We’re still in the dark about other specs, but given the steady flow of leaks, more details are probably just around the corner.
