NEW DELHI: Google Store India sells the Pixel Buds 2a for Rs 12,999 and the Pixel Buds Pro 2 for Rs 22,900, so the Pro 2 costs Rs 9,901 more. Google lists 12 months of no-cost EMI on both, at Rs 1,083 a month for the 2a and Rs 1,908 a month for the Pro 2. Price as of 24 October 2026, 6:50 PM IST.
The difference buys longer battery life, wireless charging and more advanced noise handling. Both earbuds use Google's Tensor A1 chip and a twist-to-adjust stabiliser, and both work with Android, iPhone, tablets and laptops over Bluetooth, according to Google's pages.

What comes with the earbuds
Google's FAQ says the Buds 2a come with medium eartips attached and extra small, small and large eartips in the pack. It recommends trying at least two sizes for each ear, since the left and right ears can differ, and then using the twist-to-adjust stabiliser to lock the bud in place.

The Rs 9,901 gap is 76 percent of the Buds 2a price. The Pro 2 makes sense for people who travel or commute daily and want spatial audio, Adaptive Audio and wireless charging.
