The Pixel Buds Pro 2 update will be rolled out gradually
After teasing the major update during its Made by Google 2025 event, Google has finally started rolling it out for the Pixel Buds Pro 2. The update (version 4.467) is hitting devices in stages, so don’t panic if you don’t see it immediately – it’s coming.To make sure you get it, keep your Pixel Buds Pro 2 charged and connected to your phone, and update to the latest Google app. But what’s actually inside this update, you wonder?
First off, there’s Adaptive Audio and Loud Noise Protection. Adaptive Audio automatically adjusts your earbud volume based on your surroundings – perfect for when you move from a quiet room to a busy street. Loud Noise Protection, on the other hand, automatically tones down sudden loud noises.
But Google didn’t stop there. You also get head gestures for calls and texts. Nodding your head can answer a call or reply to a message, while shaking it lets you decline. And finally, Gemini Live gets an upgrade for noisy environments. Advanced audio processing prioritizes your voice and cuts out background chatter, so your conversations stay clear – even when chaos is happening all around you.
So, in short, this update adds:
- Adaptive Audio
- Loud Noise Protection
- Head gestures for calls and texts
- Clear Gemini Live interactions in noisy environments
How to get the update
If you’ve turned off automatic updates, you can manually trigger it from the Pixel Buds app:
- Pop your earbuds securely into the charging case.
- Open the Google Pixel Buds app.
- Go to More settings → Firmware update.
- Tap Manual update available and follow the on-screen instructions. This will take about 15 minutes.

Smarter, clearer, finally
When we first tried the Pixel Buds Pro 2, the sound and noise cancellation were excellent, but the “smart” features felt underwhelming. This update changes that. Calls, texts, and Gemini Live interactions are now more intuitive and reliable, especially in noisy environments, making the earbuds a genuinely smarter companion for day-to-day use.
