Google’s latest firmware update (3.144) for the Pixel Buds Pro 2 brings fresh features and improvements, but what exactly can users expect? Released earlier this week, this update promises enhanced audio quality and firmware stability—but there’s more to discover.
What Are “Helpful Chimes” and Why Should You Care?
A standout addition is the subtle yet practical “Bud return” sound. This feature plays a chime from the case’s onboard speaker to confirm proper earbud alignment during charging. Want control over this feature? You can disable it through the companion app under More settings > Case Sounds.
What Other Features Are Hidden in the Update?
The changelog also hints at alerts for charging, low battery, successful pairing, and errors. But what about bug fixes? Google has kept details vague, only stating “improvements.”
How Can You Update to Version 3.144?
Google offers three update methods to ensure a seamless experience:
- Automatic Updates: Enabled by default, updates will download when the Pixel Buds Pro 2 connect to an Android 6.0+ device.
- Manual Updates: Trigger the update manually if automatic updates are off.
- Web Companion App: Use the dedicated online app at mypixelbuds.google.com to install the latest firmware directly.
Remember, both earbuds and the case must be on version 3.144 to enjoy all the new features.
