Pixel Buds Get a Boost with New Features and an Olive Finish
Google's Pixel Buds Pro 2 and Pixel Buds 2a have been updated with several new features. Dynamic ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) has been improved on the Pro 2 model, allowing it to adjust to subtle changes in the seal for better noise cancellation.
The Gemini audio control feature allows users to adjust their Buds' settings using voice commands. For example, saying 'Hey Google, turn up the bass' will increase the bass level.
The Pixel Watch sleep sync feature detects when a user falls asleep and pauses music, disables touch, and silences notifications to ensure undisturbed rest.
Live translate has been upgraded on both models, allowing users to tap their Buds to trigger listening mode and understand over 70 languages in near real time without touching their phone. The feature also enables users to speak in their own language, with the translation played back through the other person's Pixel phone.
The Olive finish for Pixel Buds Pro 2 will be available starting August 12, while software updates will roll out in September.
