Google rolling out Pixel Buds Pro 2 and Pixel Buds 2a update

Google on Wednesday afternoon announced a new software update for the Pixel Buds Pro 2 and Pixel Buds 2a.

Both devices are now on software release_5.203. The release notes just mention “general bug fixes and improvements” with no other details.

The last big Pixel Buds Pro 2 update (version 4.467) was a Feature Drop in September that introduced Adaptive Audio alongside Noise Cancellation and Transparency. That was accompanied by Loud Noise Protection to lower sirens and construction sounds. We also got head gestures to answer or decline calls, as well as send texts, while Gemini Live could prioritize your voice and eliminate background noise.

Open the Pixel Buds app > More settings > Firmware update to start the process on Android. You can also go to mypixelbuds.google.com on desktop web.
