Google is rolling out an update to the Pixel Buds companion app that brings Gemini-controlled audio and earbud settings. Reports indicate that, alongside other app changes, the new functionality allows users to manage sound features through Gemini using voice commands.
The updates are discussed in the context of Google’s earlier promise of a larger Pixel Buds software upgrade around the Pixel 11 launch, with multiple outlets noting that the Gemini audio control features are beginning to appear now. While both sources focus on the same core capability—Gemini being able to control audio behavior and settings—one outlet emphasizes the broader rollout timeline and app update delivery, while the other highlights the hands-free, voice-command aspect with an example command.
Overall, the coverage aligns on the presence of Gemini integration in the Pixel Buds app and the ability to adjust audio and configuration hands-free, with emphasis differing mainly in tone and examples rather than the underlying features reported.
