Frequently asked questions.
How do I set up and wear my Pixel Buds 2a?
Your Pixel Buds have medium eartips attached and come with extra small, small, and large eartips you can use to optimize the fit.
Ears are unique, so your left ear may be different from the right. We recommend that you try at least two different sizes for each ear to find the best fit.
Gently insert the earbud into your ear. Then use the twist-to-adjust stabilizer to rotate the earbud back and forth slightly until it comfortably stays in place when you move your head.
