This week, Google introduced a new firmware update for the Pixel Buds Pro 2. This is the second update since the earbuds launched, with the first one coming in January and focusing on audio quality and a new sound feature.
The latest version, 3.154, mainly offers minor bug fixes. The changelog is quite short this time, but even small updates are essential for improving performance.
As of now, users may not see this update available on their phones. If you want to check, you can do so by going to the app, tapping on “More settings,” and selecting “Firmware update.” Alternatively, you can check directly at mypixelbuds.google.com.
- Automatic updates: If you have this feature enabled, the latest firmware will download when you use your Pixel Buds Pro 2 with a compatible Pixel phone or any device running Android 6.0 or later. You can listen to music while the update runs, which takes about 10 minutes. If the earbuds are placed back in the charging case, the update will start automatically, provided there’s enough battery.
- Manual updates: To manually check for updates, ensure automatic updates are off. You can then start the download whenever it becomes available. This process takes around 15 minutes.
- Even if your phone isn’t around, you can update the firmware through the web app at mypixelbuds.google.com.
Updates like these illustrate Google’s commitment to enhancing user experience. The earbuds have received positive feedback for their audio quality, which aligns with recent studies showing that tech products that receive regular firmware updates tend to have much higher user satisfaction rates.
According to a report by Statista, 75% of users consider regular updates important when choosing tech products. This emphasizes the value of updates like the recent one for Pixel Buds Pro 2.
