Google Pixel Buds 2 Product Page Briefly Appears Exposing Full Feature List
It would appear that Google is awfully close to launching its revamped Google Buds 2 earphones. After being announced in October 2019 and then spied at Bluetooth SIG in January of this year, the latest cameo for Google's second generation Pixel Buds took place at an online retailer, where the earphones (and full list of features) made a brief appearance.
This is not old news. Yes, a product listing for the Pixel Buds 2 manifested a couple of months ago at B&H Photo, where they were show as "coming soon" before the page was taken down. This one is a different leak (if you want to call it that). Another retailer, ABT Electronics, listed the Pixel Buds 2 over the weekend.

The page has been taken offline as well, though a cached version of the product listing is available. I've posted a screenshot above. It shows the price as $179, along with four different color options, those being black, green, orange, and white. The listing does not say when exactly the Pixel Buds 2 will launch, though the pre-order status suggests it will be very soon.
