Google Support replacing my pixel buds pro 2 due to failed multiple attempts to install new update, tried troubleshooting steps together.

My replacement has been arranged, I've got send of my buds within 14 days . They will send new device within1-2 days

That escalated very quickly!!

Got the update but...

It would only show the update for buds pro 2 if I had the buds running in LE Audio mode (allowlisting LE Audio in dev options and repairing)...

Yesterday the update was failing so, I switched back to non-LE audio by unallowlisting LE and repairing, but when I did that the update never showed on the app. This morning I switched back to LE, and it showed within mins...

Not sure if this was just a coincidence, but maybe if you aren't seeing the update try doing that?

I'm on a Pixel 10 Pro XL

Pixel Buds Pro 2 September Feature Drop

My apologies I teach Google how to use their own Google Calendar but it is OCTOBER.

Their website says - "software updates start rolling out in September."

So is it NOT rolling just.... t-rolling

Music quality when compared to Airpods 3

Just got a pair of 2a buds yesterday. I ordered them mainly because my old Airpods 3 do not offer the same "voice isolation" when paired with a Google phone - so every time I am outside and having a phone call, the person on the other side can hear all the background noise very clear.

Not sure if I got a faulty pair from Amazon, but music sounds very dull on them when immediately comparing them with the Airpods 3. Playing around with the EQ settings offer marginal improvement (haven't really played with each toggle). And probably it's only me, but I really don't like the finicky process of inserting these silicone tips deep in my ears. Tried all of the tips - can't say I find a difference between XS, S and M. That's why back in the day I got the Airpods 3 and not the Pro.

So now I need some advice before I send them back.

It seems people are confused in this group about a new update

The September update you had at the start of September which is firmware 5.203. I have the pixel buds pro 2

There seems to be a glitch with the October update. When auto update is enabled there is no new update. I turned on Manuel update and I was notified that I have latest firmware update ready to download. The download has failed like 10 times. Obviously there is some glitch to the OCTOBER update

Pixel buds multipoint issues - Pixel 2a

So, I was trying to test the multipoint feature. I connected my Pixel 9a and HP ZBook laptop to my Pixel Buds 2a. Initially, media was playing in the Buds from the ZBook. However, when I connected the P9a and played media, it automatically routed the audio to the P9a and stopped the media on the ZBook.

But when I tried playing media on the ZBook while media was already playing on the P9a, the music simply wouldn’t start on the ZBook.

Why are they pushing features without even testing all the possible use cases?

My pixel buds 2a will not work on windows

I recently got a pair of pixel buds 2a but no matter what I do they keep having an issue where they will occasionally just stop working and the media just keeps buffering. I have already tried all the common issues like switching off Bluetooth etc. I know this isn't a problem with my laptop because I tried another pair of earbuds and they worked fine, so is it just a problem with how the buds work with windows because I saw that most Google products are really only optimized to work on android? Is this a known issue and are there any possible fixes or am I better of just getting non Google earbuds?
