You can still land Google’s most affordable ANC earbuds under the tree at the Amazon low

Pixel 2a/$99

We wanted to touch down this afternoon to highlight the ongoing holiday deal on Google’s most affordable current-generation Pixel Buds. While the pro-grade models are still live at the $169 holiday price, you can also land the less pricey Google Pixel Buds 2a that released this year down at the $99 low with holiday delivery. 

Amazon is currently offering the Google Pixel Buds 2a down at $99 shipped in both the Hazel and Iris colorways. This nearly 25% discount is only the second time we have seen them on sale at all, delivering a notable chance to get the brand’s most affordable current-gen buds under the tree this year at the lowest price we have tracked. 

You can indeed score the Pixel Buds Pro 2 and the $169 holiday price right now as well – this is on par with the Black Friday price outside of the Moonstone color set that dropped as low as $133 last month. But for those that just don’t care about the bells and whistles and are looking to land a first-party set of buds to pair up with a Pixel headset this holiday, or something along those lines, the 2a deliver just that for $70 less right now. And you will still land IP54 sweat and water resistance, active noise cancellation, and access to Gemini for some AI helper action alongside the lower price of entry.

Here’s a quick look at the difference between the Pixel Buds Pro 2 and 2a from Google:

Google Pixel Buds 2a Review: The Pixel 10 of headphones

At this point, both sets are still listed as arriving in time for Christmas at Amazon, but, like much of the other name brand earbuds at holiday pricing, that could change at any time now.
