If you are using Android, then connecting up the Google Pixel Buds A-Series is super fast. Situated on the bottom of the case is the USB-C connector and on the back is a button (smaller than on the Buds 2) that allows you to connect the earphones. Dimension wise, the earbuds measure just 20.7 x 29.3 x 17.5mm while the case is slim and you won't feel it in your pocket, at 63 x 47 x 25mm and 52.9g. Snap open the top of the case and there the buds are, nestled neatly and ready to be worn. Our review unit was the Dark Olive colour which adds to the shine, while there is also a Clearly White version available. We do prefer the new gloss finish that Google has given these true-wireless earbuds.

Make no mistake, though, we've spent a few weeks with the Google Pixel Buds A-Series and any concessions made are certainly slight. The Google Pixel Buds A-Series are aping what's going on the Google phone world, with 'A' signifying a significantly cheaper option in the range.

Those earphones were great and a big improvement on the first iteration which were released in 2017. These newly announced earphones are the Google Pixel Buds A-Series and are a slimmed down variant - in price and features - than the full-fat Google Pixel Buds it released in 2020. It's three times the charm for Google and the Pixel Buds. Okay, Google, now you have our attention.
