The Pixel Buds have just launched in Canada, the UK, and many more international markets, but the good news doesn’t stop there: Google promises a feature drop update for true wireless headphones, according to information the company relayed to Forbes. Along with unspecified new capabilities, the update is supposed to finally fix the notorious audio cut-out issues the Buds are plagued with, which Google already promised a month ago.
Although Google says that audio cut-off problems are “corner cases,” the problem appears to be widespread enough to warrant a software update. Hopefully, we will see a substantial improvement. Other than that, not much is known about the update. Google only told Forbes that “our next release will have a combination of new features … and then we will also have performance improvements in terms of increased product stability.”
While the company did not mention a specific date, it “points to the end of August,” making it possible that the Buds update will be released alongside the Pixel phone’s fourth feature crash. That would almost be in line with the first three releases, which have hit the phones roughly every three months, the last one being released on June 1.
