It looks like Google’s Pixel Buds Pro 2 could reintroduce the wing tip design seen on the first generation of the Pixel Buds. According to a series of images shared with Android Headlines by the reliable leaker OnLeaks, the new buds feature a slight bulge opposite the ear tip.
The wing isn’t as pronounced as the “stabilizer arc” on the original Pixel Buds. Our review of those buds from 2020 noted that the arc could become uncomfortable after extended wear. Hopefully, the more subtle wing on the Buds Pro 2 will avoid the same issue.

Aside from the wing tip, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 seem to replace their predecessor’s black grills with larger ones that match the color of the buds. Android Headlines also received images showing the Pixel Buds Pro 2 in several colors: gray, white, green, and pink.
The case remains largely the same, featuring the familiar egg shape and LED light on the front. Leaked images from accessory maker Spigen indicate that the Pixel Buds Pro 2 case might include a small hole near the USB-C port. This could be a speaker for the Google Find My Device feature, but its exact purpose is still uncertain.

The refreshed Pixel Buds Pro isn’t the only device leaked ahead of Google’s August 13th hardware event. Earlier today, we saw marketing materials potentially detailing the specs for the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Fold. We’ll likely see even more leaks in the coming weeks — unless Google decides to reveal its devices beforehand.
