The Pixel Buds Pro – now coming up on about a year in their life cycle – are set to get a new feature that is quite a bit more useful than what we’ve seen with recent updates like Spatial Audio. Don’t get me wrong: Spatial Audio is fun to mess around with, but it’s […]

Pixel Buds Pro are discounted ahead of new Pixel phone announcements this week
As we anticipate the full announcements of a lot of new Pixel-branded hardware in just two days from now, it looks like Google is doing a bit of pre-event build up as we head into Google I/O 2023. The Pixel Watch already hit a solid sale price this weekend, and now the Pixel Buds Pro […]
Continue ReadingIn a bit of a twist, a new color is on the way for Pixel Buds Pro and A-Series
It isn’t very often we see new colors for accessories long after they’ve hit the market. From time to time, we see new phones launch and then get an additional color a few months into their life cycle, but even that is pretty rare. For earbuds especially, this just isn’t something we see that often. […]
Continue ReadingPixel Buds Pro finally receive head-tracked spatial audio
Though it was announced as a “coming later this year” feature when the Pixel Buds Pro were unveiled at Google I/O 2022, spatial audio was never actually added to Google’s latest earbuds in 2022. The feature – which gives users a more-immersive audio experience and can place sound in a specific spot in space – […]
Continue ReadingGoogle lists apps with Spatial Audio support on Pixel Buds Pro
Google “dropped” their Pixel Feature Drop on Monday and with it came a slew of new features available immediately on your Pixel devices, as well as some that will be arriving next year. One of the features confirmed to be coming in January is Spatial Audio with head tracking, which was first teased at the […]
Continue ReadingThe battery widget is one of the most overlooked and underappreciated Pixel phone gems
When I set up my phone screens, I’m always conscious of how the information displayed benefits my workflow and my life in general. More often than not, I will place apps that tie more closely into my personal life than my business endeavors. For example, I’ll place a photo frame with pictures of my son […]
Continue ReadingYes, AirPods work fine with Pixel phones, but Pixel Buds Pro work better
We see this question floating around the web quite a bit: will my AirPods work with a Pixel? The simple answer is, of course, yes! Though AirPods (or AirPods Pro) are designed to work best with Apple products, they are still Bluetooth earbuds that can be connected to a wide variety of devices. As a […]
Continue ReadingGoogle’s Pixel Buds Pro are winning me over, but they need one more thing to be perfect
I’ll be the first to admit I’ve been a bit all over the place when it comes to Google’s new earbuds. When they were first announced a bit surprisingly at Google I/O 2022 in May, I was nothing but excited. Finally, we were getting the Pixel Buds I always wanted, with all the ANC and […]
Continue ReadingPixel Buds Pro firmware update fixed my biggest gripe with them
When the Pixel Buds Pro were first announced back at Google I/O 2022, I was a mixture of hyped and skeptical. Google’s earbuds have always been nice, but they’ve also always come with a nagging issue that has made them incapable of being my main, everyday-carry earbuds. That issue? Severe latency. When listening to anything […]
Continue ReadingPixel Buds Pro are down to their lowest ever price basically everywhere
Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, Target: you name it. The Pixel Buds Pro are down to their lowest-ever price right now and this is clearly a coordinated effort by Google to push their latest earbuds out to more people in the midst of the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro launch hype. It’s not a terrible […]
Continue ReadingPixel Buds Pro vs. $40 and $70 ANC earbuds: are Google’s earbuds worth it? [VIDEO]
Google’s new Pixel Buds Pro are out and available and I’ve had the pleasure of using what I’ll go ahead and crown as the best earbuds Google has made up to this point. Are they perfect? No. Are they great? Yeah, but in the ANC wireless earbud space, there’s a ton of competition at this […]
Continue ReadingGoogle rolls out new 2.14 Pixel Buds Pro firmware update
Google has announced via a support community post that they are slowly rolling out the latest firmware update for the Pixel Buds Pro. This is firmware version 2.14 and will continue rolling out over the next week or so. It is unclear what this update covers, as the post only cited “general bug fixes and […]

The Pixel Buds Pro are here and many of you who ordered them have them in your hands right now. While I’m waiting just a bit to see if Fast Pair works seamlessly on Chromebooks in the near future before putting out a review of the new Google-made earbuds, I’m still using them on a […]
Continue ReadingPixel Buds Pro firmware update rolling out to all users
Those who ordered Google’s new Pixel Buds Pro on the day pre-orders opened mostly received their new buds on Thursday, the same day they were available at most retailers. However, whether you ordered in advance or waited to pick up your buds in-store, the firmware version that came with them was outdated and missing some […]

The long-awaited, highly-anticipated Pixel Buds Pro are in the office and everyone here is extremely excited about their arrival. I’ve only had them in-hand for a few days and it was an even shorter time period when we filmed the video included in this post, so these are all very early thoughts about Google’s new […]
