FAQs

How do I get the best fit with the Pixel Buds 2a?

Insert the earbuds and gently twist them backward until they feel secure and comfortable. Experiment with different angles to find the most stable position for your ear.

What is the battery life of the Pixel Buds 2a?

You can get up to 7 hours of listening time with Active Noise Cancellation on, and up to 20 hours total with the charging case. A 5-minute charge provides about an hour of listening time.

Can I use the Pixel Buds 2a with my iPhone?

Yes, you can pair and use the Pixel Buds 2a with any Bluetooth-enabled device, including iPhones. However, advanced features like hands-free Gemini control and seamless Android integration are optimized for Android devices.

Are the Pixel Buds 2a waterproof?

The Pixel Buds 2a have an IP54 rating, meaning they are resistant to sweat and water splashes or light drizzle. They are not designed for submersion in water.

How do I activate Active Noise Cancellation?

ANC can be turned on or off using touch controls on the earbuds or via voice command with Gemini. You can also manage ANC settings in the Pixel Buds app.

What is Spatial Audio and how does it work?

Spatial Audio creates an immersive, theater-like sound experience by making sound appear to come from all directions. It works best with compatible apps and content that supports dynamic head tracking.

How do I reset my Pixel Buds 2a?

Place both earbuds in the charging case. Press and hold the pairing button on the back of the case for about 30 seconds, until the LED indicator flashes white, then blue. Release the button. Your Pixel Buds 2a will be reset.

Troubleshooting

Earbuds won't pair

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Place both earbuds in the charging case, close the lid for 30 seconds, then reopen and try pairing again. Forget the device in your Bluetooth settings and re-pair.

No sound from one earbud

Check that both earbuds are charged. Clean the charging contacts on the earbud and in the case. Ensure the earbud is properly seated in the charging case. Try resetting the earbuds by holding the pairing button for 30 seconds.

Poor noise cancellation performance

Ensure the earbuds have a secure and proper seal in your ears. Clean the ear tips and check for any blockages. Update the firmware via the Pixel Buds app if available.

Gemini not responding

Verify that Gemini is enabled in your Pixel Buds settings and that your phone has an active internet connection. Ensure your phone's language is set to one supported by Gemini.

Charging issues

Clean the charging contacts on the earbuds and inside the case. Try using a different USB-C cable and power adapter. Ensure the case is charged.
