Google is rolling out a software update for its Pixel Buds 2A and Pixel Buds Pro 2 earbuds, adding a range of new features that were previously teased. The update is now being described by outlets as part of a staged rollout to users of both models.
The most prominent addition is sleep detection tied to a Pixel Watch. According to the coverage, the earbuds can use the watch to help track sleep and place the earbuds into a sleep state while the user is asleep. Both Android Police and The Verge also describe the update as expanding beyond sleep tracking, with additional feature improvements coming alongside the sleep-related capability.
Different outlets highlight different aspects of the same update, with The Verge focusing on the Pixel Watch-driven sleep detection and the earbuds’ sleep behavior, while Android Police emphasizes that the earbuds keep improving through feature-rich updates.
