Google has expanded its Pixel Buds Pro 2 lineup with a new Olive color, aligning with the latest Pixel 11 series. This addition joins existing colors such as Hazel, Porcelain, Peony, and Moonstone. The Olive variant features an outer shell in the new hue, while the inner casing and ear tips remain black. The charging case continues to be white.
In addition to the new color, Google has announced a forthcoming software update for the Pixel Buds Pro 2, set to roll out in September. This update introduces several enhancements:
Dynamic Active Noise Cancellation
The update improves noise cancellation by adapting to the earbud’s fit, ensuring consistent performance even during activities like jumping jacks.
Audio Customization with Gemini
Users will gain the ability to adjust bass and treble settings through Gemini, allowing for a personalized listening experience tailored to different audio content.
Sleep Detection Integration
Integration with Pixel Watch enables the earbuds to detect when the user falls asleep, automatically pausing playback to conserve battery and prevent disturbances.
Expanded Live Translate Support
The update extends Live Translate capabilities to over 70 languages, enhancing real-time translation features for a broader range of users.
Furthermore, Pixel Buds Pro 2 will integrate with Pixel Tag, allowing users to locate or ring their missing tags via voice commands to Gemini, without needing to access their phone.
The Olive-colored Pixel Buds Pro 2 are available for order starting today, with the software update scheduled for release next month.
These updates reflect Google’s commitment to enhancing user experience through both hardware and software improvements. The introduction of dynamic noise cancellation and personalized audio settings positions the Pixel Buds Pro 2 as a competitive option in the premium earbuds market. The integration with Pixel Watch and Pixel Tag further demonstrates Google’s focus on creating a cohesive ecosystem for its users.
