Overview

• Preorders are live at $129 in the US and £129 in the UK, with India priced at Rs. 12,999 and availability there set for August 28; US in‑store sales are slated for October 9.
• Active Noise Cancellation arrives in the A‑series via the Tensor A1 chip and Silent Seal 1.5, with transparency mode and AI‑aided call clarity.
• Battery life is rated at up to 7 hours per earbud with ANC on or 10 hours with ANC off, reaching 20 to 27 hours with the case; a 5‑minute top‑up is said to yield about an hour with ANC enabled.
• The earbuds carry IP54 ingress protection (IPX4 for the case) and use recycled materials, and the charging case introduces a first for Google’s lineup with a user‑replaceable battery.
• Design updates include custom 11mm drivers, smaller and lighter buds with twist stabilizers and four tip sizes, Bluetooth 5.4 with Super Wideband, and touch controls, while reports differ on hands‑free Gemini support.
