Major Update for Pixel Buds Pro 2: What's New?
In exciting news for tech enthusiasts, Google has officially rolled out firmware version 3.144 for the Pixel Buds Pro 2 starting this Monday. This update promises significant improvements in both audio quality and overall performance, making your listening experience even more enjoyable.
On Wednesday afternoon, Google announced that firmware update 3.144 is now available, stating that this update not only enhances audio quality but also brings some intuitive features to the table. One of the standout improvements is the addition of subtle chimes that confirm your earbuds are properly seated in their case for optimal charging. This feature, designed for ease of use, provides peace of mind to users that their devices are ready to go.
For those who prefer a more personalized experience, Google allows users to disable the "Bud return" sound by accessing the companion app. Make sure your app is updated to the latest version (1.0.709452546 released in January) to enjoy the full array of settings available under "More settings > Case Sounds." Here, you can also manage alerts related to charging status, battery levels, successful pairings, and any potential errors.
While the changelog does not elaborate on specific bug fixes, the general statement of "improvements" suggests that users may experience smoother functionality overall.
Updating your devices is simple. You can choose from three convenient options:
1. **Automatic Updates**: If you have this feature enabled, your Pixel Buds Pro 2 will update seamlessly the next time they connect to your Pixel phone or any compatible Android device (6.0+). During the approximate 10-minute update process, you can still use your earbuds.
2. **Manual Updates**: Turned off automatic updates? No problem! You can start the download manually from your phone, which will take about 15 minutes once the update is available.
3. **Direct Web Update**: If your phone isn't nearby, you can go directly to the web companion app at mypixelbuds.google.com to retrieve the latest firmware updates.
Make sure that both your left and right earbuds, as well as the Pixel Buds Pro 2 case, are updated to version 3.144 to take full advantage of all the new features.
Stay tuned for further updates as Google continues to enhance user experience through innovative technology—a leap that not only keeps pace with industry standards but also sets new ones!
