Google announces the $99 Pixel Buds A-series

Today Google has announced the massively leaked Pixel Buds A-series. The $99 Pixel Buds have finally been announced and is available to pre-order in the US and Canada right now and will ship on June 17th.

Positives

Despite being only $99, the A-Series sound quality is on par with the high-end Pixel Buds that normally sell for $179 and they still offer hands-free “Hey Google” voice commands and are still rated for IPX4 water and sweat resistance. Battery life is still rated at 24 hours, which is counting recharges in the case.

Negatives

Unfortunately to get to that magic $99 price Google nixed the wireless charging case and swipe controls for volume.

Who’s snatching up these $99 Pixel Buds or are you going to snatch up the Pixel Buds deal above for $129 and get 3-months of YouTube Premium for free?
