Boasting almost the same features and almost the same look - with the new Pixel Buds A-Series Google offers a cheaper alternative to the Pixel Buds that appeared just under a year ago.

The successors to the Huawei FreeBuds 3 are called FreeBuds 4. Like their predecessors, they rely on an "open-fit design", i.e. an ear fit without silicone attachments - also called "Ear-Buds".
