Background

The Google Pixel Buds Pro was released in July 2022 as the high-end edition of the Pixel Buds (similar to how the "Pro" Pixel phones are higher end). They keep a similar form factor while improving on the sound quality and battery life, while adding some of the higher-end features, e.g., wireless charging, transparency mode, and active noise cancellation with Silent Seal™.

The Google Pixel Buds A‑Series starts at $199 USD.

Identification

The Google Pixel Buds Pro can be identified primarily by its model numbers, GA34L, GQGM1, and GPX4H, which can be found on the original packaging. If you can't find your original packaging, you can identify it by the signature white, egg‑shaped charging case that it shares with the Pixel Buds A-Series. The Pro buds themselves have some wire mesh on its surface (next to the "G" logo) while the A-Series are completely smooth.

The Pixel Buds A‑Series comes in six colors: Bay, Porcelain, Coral, Charcoal, Fog, and Lemongrass.
