Latest Pixel Buds update lets Gemini control your earbuds’ settings
Hey Google, turn up the bass.
Google has announced a major Pixel Buds app update following the Pixel 11 launch in September. The latest version 1.0.981607934 of the companion app now includes Gemini audio controls for the Pixel Buds. Using the updated app, users can adjust settings such as EQ preset, ANC mode, conversation detection, and touch controls. This brings up a Gemini overlay with a "Connecting to Pixel Buds" message and verbal confirmation.
Devices without the app update will simply open the system Bluetooth settings page upon receiving the commands. The Pixel Buds 1.0.981607934 update is currently being rolled out via the Play Store. While three other features Google previewed require a firmware update, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 will receive Dynamic ANC that adjusts to compensate for shifts in the ear seal.
Additionally, the Pixel Watch will enable sleep sync, pausing music, disabling touch controls, and silencing notifications on the Pixel Buds. Lastly, users will be able to trigger Live translate by tapping their Pixel Buds.
