Pixel Buds are working on a new touch control for calls

Pixel Buds earbuds already offer tap and swipe gesture controls for answering, rejecting, and ending voice calls. This feature could potentially be expanded to include muting and unmuting calls through simple taps. When purchasing new earbuds, consumers often prioritize sound quality, battery life, and noise cancellation.
