Google: Pixel Buds Pro software update

The update for the Pixel Buds Pro is not yet available, but at least it is clear what Google is up to. There are some in the headphones app Notes on upcoming features and improvements emerged. Google itself has already announced that it intends to distribute a major update in 2022.

One of the new features concerns “Spatial Audio” or 3D audio. Depending on how the head is moved when wearing the Pixel Buds Pro, the supposed position of the audio source can adapt.

The equalizer has been significantly upgraded with the update and is available in the form of five horizontal sliders available: deep bass, bass, middle, treble and upper treble can be adjusted. Alternatively, Google also provides some presets that can be used to emphasize voices or bass, among other things.

In the future, it will also be possible to use the app to Volume according to ear individually to be determined (source: 9to5Google). For example, the music can be set louder via one of the earbuds.

Google has not yet revealed exactly when the update will be distributed.
