Google Updates Pixel Buds 2a and Pro 2 Earbuds With New Features
“Google” has begun rolling out a major software update for the “Pixel Buds 2a” and “Pixel Buds Pro 2” earbuds. The features unveiled in August are gradually reaching users. The new features include detecting when you fall asleep, managing calls, live translation, and audio settings. It is not yet clear whether the original “Pixel Buds Pro” model will receive this update.
The main new feature is automatic media pausing. When a user falls asleep while wearing a “Pixel Watch,” the earbuds will pause the music and silence notifications. Touch controls will also be disabled. This means that accidentally touching the earbuds while asleep will not trigger any commands. The feature has been developed for both the “Pixel Buds 2a” and the “Pixel Buds Pro 2.” Users will also be able to turn the microphone on and off by touching an earbud during a call. To do this, the earbuds must be connected to a “Pixel” phone. “Gemini” voice commands can be used to control ANC, or active noise cancellation. Users will also be able to change audio settings and touch controls. Improved live translation will start with 1 tap on an earbud. Even if the phone remains in a pocket, the “Google Translate” app will translate speech or a foreign language heard nearby. Available only for the “Pixel Buds Pro 2,” dynamic ANC will automatically adjust the audio and noise cancellation level based on how the earbuds fit in the ears. To check for the update, users need to install the latest release of the “Pixel Buds” app and firmware version release_6.144. In the app, users can first go to “More settings” and then to “Firmware update.” One earlier report said that the “Pixel Buds Pro” model released in 2022 would also receive the new features. However, “Google” removed the reference to this model from the latest version of its community announcement. It therefore remains unclear whether these earbuds will receive support.
