Can I use the Pixel Buds 2a with my iPhone?

Using the 'Find Hub' feature on your connected Android device, you can see the last known location of your buds and ring them to help locate them if they are nearby.

Are the Pixel Buds 2a waterproof?

The Pixel Buds 2a have an IP54 rating, which means they are resistant to sweat and water splashes, making them suitable for workouts and light rain. They are not designed for submersion in water.

How do I adjust the equalizer settings?

You can adjust the 5-band equaliser by asking Gemini to 'adjust sound settings' or by accessing the Pixel Buds settings on a compatible Android device.

What is the benefit of the Google Tensor A1 chip?

The Google Tensor A1 chip powers advanced audio processing, resulting in crisper, richer music playback and clearer calls. It also enables features like spatial audio and efficient noise cancellation.

Troubleshooting

Pixel Buds 2a won't pair

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and that the buds are charged. Try resetting the buds by placing them in the case, closing the lid, waiting 30 seconds, and then reopening the lid. Forget the buds from your device's Bluetooth list and try pairing again.

No sound or low volume

Check that the Pixel Buds 2a are selected as the audio output on your device. Ensure the volume is turned up. Clean the speaker grilles gently with a dry, soft brush. Check the 5-band equaliser settings via the Pixel Buds app or Gemini.

Active Noise Cancellation not working effectively

Ensure the earbuds have a proper seal in your ears; try adjusting the fit using the twist-to-adjust stabiliser. Clean the earbuds and check for any obstructions in the ANC microphones.

Gemini voice commands are not recognized

Make sure your Pixel Buds 2a are connected to a device with an active internet connection. Ensure Gemini is enabled and configured on your device. Speak clearly and directly towards the microphone.

Charging issues

Verify the charging cable and power source are working. Clean the charging contacts on both the earbuds and the case. Ensure the earbuds are properly seated in the case.
