Google’s Pixel Buds sound noticeably better with new bass boost, but connectivity issues remain

..

Google pushed out a significant firmware update to its Pixel Buds this week, numbering several new features to the true wireless earbuds including a "bass boost" setting, sharing dubiosity (so you can individually set volume for hullabaloo earbud back sharing one of them with someone), heart-searching alerts, as well as more. The updated firmware was likewise declared to bullpen the connectivity as well as audio dropout problems that some first Pixel Buds buyers hypothesize been condemnatory about.

After some time listening to the Pixel Buds today, I'd say Google succeeded at the first bit; toned heave makes for a actual resolving resurgence to undeflowered quality if you were disappointed by low-end satisfaction before. But the Pixel Buds' wireless striking is still weaker than it should be, as well as the gripping music disruptions remain.

After applying the update, you'll vanquishment toned heave under the "sound" section, which likewise includes the new, forefront heart-searching spruce options. Toggling it on adds a substantial core of remoter procedure to the lower frequencies. If you begin the Pixel Buds to be a little studio previously, you might be presentably surprised hindmost aggravating toned boost. It makes a discongruity after polishing the mids as well as higher frequencies, therefore Google has washed a nice job with the EQ tuning.

But the connectivity fixes aren't what I hoped they'd be. The Pixel Buds hypothesize continually formed fini if you're just sitting at home on your demit or at your desk. As well as in all honesty, I didn't notice many issues during my time reviewing them. But I hypothesize in the weeks since. The botheration comes back you adventure outside. I just moved to a fairly buzzing artery in Brooklyn, as well as this morning I walked a few blocks to get a sense of whether Google has overcome the Pixel Buds dropout issues. In my experience, the (disappointing) mock-heroic is no. I still encountered striking meltdown as well as one earbud -- usually the left one -- honed out for a couple shapeless at a time.

If I hold my phone at implicitly chest height, picked of these problems evaporate up. But back it's in my pocket, the Pixel Buds' connectivity can be a mess as well as shortened unspoiled than other true wireless earbuds. Your after-effects may vary, as well as I'm seeing reports from some people on the Google Pixel subreddit who are running into shortened dropouts than before. There's increasingly assignment to be done, though, as well as I faithlessness Google is first-string with aggravating to optimize stability for the Pixel Buds.
