Google has rolled out a significant upgrade for the Pixel Buds Pro, integrating advanced AI functionalities tailored to complement the Pixel 8 series seamlessly. Additionally, to align with the aesthetics of the Pixel 8 series and the upcoming Pixel Watch 2, the Pixel Buds Pro will now be offered in fresh colors, namely Bay and Porcelain.

The enhancements introduced to the Pixel Buds Pro encompass the following -

Enhanced Call Clarity - Pixel Buds Pro employs intelligent technology to improve the quality of your phone calls. They offer support for Bluetooth Super Wideband on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, resulting in crisper and more natural-sounding voice transmission. Moreover, they effectively reduce background noise on the recipient's end during calls.

Seamless Hands-Free Conversations - Thanks to AI capabilities, there's no need to remove your earbuds to engage in a conversation. The Conversation Detection feature automatically pauses your music when you begin speaking and resumes it when you stop, all without requiring any manual intervention.

Reduced Audio Latency for Gamers - For gaming enthusiasts, Pixel Buds Pro minimizes audio latency when connected via Bluetooth. This reduction in delay heightens your gaming immersion and makes the experience more dynamic. This feature is available when paired with the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.

Hearing Health Recommendations - The Pixel Buds Pro app offers insights into your listening habits and provides guidance on maintaining healthy hearing practices. It will remind you when it's time to lower the volume to protect your hearing.

Chromebook Compatibility - The Pixel Buds app is now accessible on Chromebooks, allowing you to conveniently adjust settings, switch noise control modes, and perform firmware updates directly from your Chromebook device.
