In a significant move to enhance customer convenience, the Google Store has streamlined the process for obtaining replacement components for its Pixel Buds Pro 2 and Pixel Buds 2a models. Previously, users seeking to replace lost or damaged parts had to navigate a self-service form on the Google Support page. Now, these replacement items are directly accessible through the US Google Store, simplifying the purchasing experience.
Pixel Buds Pro 2 Replacement Options:
– Replacement Earbuds: Priced at $70 each, customers can select either the left or right earbud. Available color options include Porcelain, Hazel, Wintergreen, and Peony. The recently introduced Moonstone variant is currently out of stock.
– Replacement Charging Case: Available for $95, this option allows users to replace a lost or damaged charging case.
– Eartip Set: For $20, users can purchase a set of eartips in sizes extra small, small, medium, and large, ensuring a comfortable fit.
Pixel Buds 2a Replacement Options:
– Replacement Earbuds: Each earbud is priced at $55, with options for the left or right side. Color choices are Hazel and Iris.
– Replacement Charging Case: Also priced at $55, the charging case is currently out of stock. Notably, the Pixel Buds 2a charging case features a color-matching interior, enhancing aesthetic appeal.
– Eartip Set: Similar to the Pro 2, the eartip set is available for $20 and includes all four sizes. However, this item is currently out of stock.
Google advises that replacement parts may not always be available in all regions and that color availability can vary over time. This initiative reflects Google’s commitment to sustainability and customer satisfaction by providing accessible solutions for maintaining and extending the life of their audio products.
