We’re patiently waiting for successors to theGoogle Pixel Buds Pro, which launched back in May 2022, and a flurry of recent leaks suggests that the next versions of the wireless earbuds are about to make an appearance.

The first leak worth mentioning comes fromAndroid Headlines, and shows high-quality, unofficial renders of theGooglePixel Buds Pro 2. It looks as though they’ll come in a case that’s a little bulkier, but mostly the same as last time.

As for the earbuds themselves, it appears they’re getting a slight redesign, with a new bulge near the ear tip – perhaps to add some extra stabilization. It’s something of a return to the design of the original Pixel Buds.

We can also see all four colors that the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are expected to launch in: Charcoal, Porcelain, Aloe (to match thePixel 8a), and Hot Pink. The Pixel Buds Pro are currently available in Charcoal, Porcelain, Bay, Fog, Lemongrass, and Coral.

Price bumps

In addition, a separate leak fromDealabs(via9to5Google) may give us some idea about the pricing of the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 as well: they’re apparently going to cost $229 / £219 (about AU$350), or €249 in Europe.

For comparison, the Pixel Buds Pro cost $199 / £179 / AU$299 at launch, although we’ve seen several discounts applied since then. It appears the new earbuds are going to set you back slightly more than the pair they’re replacing.

All of this comes just a few days afteranother leakshowing off the design of the Pixel Buds Pro 2 and their case. The increasing frequency of these leaks suggests the wireless earbuds might not be too far off making an official appearance now.
