Software Enhancements for Pixel Buds
Google announced several software updates for its Pixel Buds Pro 2 and Pixel Buds 2a earbuds. These updates will roll out in September, bringing new capabilities to the existing hardware without introducing new earbud models at the Made by Google event.
New Features for Pixel Buds Pro 2
The Pixel Buds Pro 2 will receive dynamic Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), which adjusts to compensate for shifts in the earbud seal. Additionally, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 will be available in a new olive-green color, with preorders currently open.
Deeper Gemini Integration and Live Translate
Both the Pixel Buds Pro 2 and 2a models will feature deeper integration with Google's Gemini chatbot. This allows users to adjust volume and make EQ changes using voice commands. The live translate feature has also been upgraded to understand and translate over 70 languages, activated by tapping the earbuds.
Pixel Watch Synchronization
The updated earbuds will sync with the Pixel Watch. This integration enables automatic music pausing and notification disabling when the watch detects that the user has fallen asleep.
