In an exciting update for tech enthusiasts, Google has expanded the functionality of its Pixel Buds web app, allowing users on Mac and Windows platforms to manage their Pixel Buds seamlessly. Initially launched for Chromebooks last year, this web app can now be accessed via mypixelbuds.google.com on macOS 14 Sonoma or newer, as well as on Windows 11 and above.

To get started, users need to ensure their Pixel Buds are paired with their computer. Once connected, visiting the dedicated website enables you to save "Pixel Buds" as a Progressive Web App (PWA), bringing a more streamlined experience right to your desktop.

The web app is packed with useful features, allowing users to check the battery status for both the charging case and each individual bud. For those with Pixel Buds Pro, several advanced settings can be tweaked directly through the app:

Features of Pixel Buds Web App

- **Active Noise Control**: You can choose from Off, Noise Cancellation, and Transparency modes.

- **Conversation Detection**: This feature enhances your ability to engage in conversations without removing your earbuds.

- **Multipoint**: Connect your earbuds to multiple devices simultaneously.

- **Touch Controls**: Customize how touch gestures control playback and calls.

- **Equalizer**: Tailor the sound to your liking with adjustable presets.

Additionally, under the "More Settings" gear icon, users can find options for Mono Audio, Volume EQ, Volume Balance, In-Ear Detection, and Device Serial Numbers for quick reference.

One of the standout features of this update is the Firmware section, which allows users to update their Google headphones without needing an Android device. This marks a significant leap in accessibility, catering to a broader audience of Pixel Buds users.

Why stop there? The Pixel Buds web app brings convenience, flexibility, and a host of features to enhance your listening experience, making it a must-have tool for both casual listeners and audiophiles alike.
