In a move that bucks the trend of stemless designs, Google is bringing back the stability wing feature for its upcoming Pixel Buds Pro 2, according to leaked images. These leaks come from two sources: a Spigen Amazon product listing, which briefly showed a protective case for the Pixel Buds Pro 2, and Android Headlines, which has exclusive photos of the new earbuds in their four color options.
The Spigen listing confirms that the charging case for the Pixel Buds Pro 2 will retain the same dimensions as the current model, a significant detail for those concerned about compatibility. However, Android Headlines contradicts this by stating that the case will be slightly bulkier than the original.
Beyond the stability wings and case dimensions, the leaked images reveal other notable changes. The perforated grilles on the earbuds are now color-matched instead of being black, giving them a more cohesive look. Additionally, the bottom of the charging case appears to have a small opening next to the USB-C charging port, which could be a lanyard connection point or a speaker for feedback sounds, similar to the Apple AirPods Pro 2.
While these leaks offer a glimpse into Google’s plans for the Pixel Buds Pro 2, it is important to note that they are unofficial and should be taken with a grain of salt. Google has yet to officially announce the new earbuds, so we will have to wait for more information from the company.
