Slightly over a year has elapsed since the introduction of Google’s Pixel Buds Pro. During this span, it is presumed that users have conscientiously upheld their maintenance regimen. In the event that this responsibility has been inadvertently overlooked, it is noteworthy that Google is poised to implement reminders aimed at ensuring the periodic upkeep of the Pixel Buds.
Comparable to most earbud designs, the Pixel Buds are inserted within the ear canal, rendering them susceptible to accumulation of debris over time. Consequently, regular cleansing is imperative. If one’s Pixel Buds have not undergone recent maintenance, or if they have not yet been attended to, this communication serves as an initial prompt.
However, subsequent reminders are anticipated to originate from Google itself. Evident within the latest edition of the Pixel Buds application (version 1.0.555017123), presently accessible via the Play Store, is the integration of a novel notification system. This system will periodically recommend cleaning the earbuds. Notably, this notification feature has begun making appearances for certain users following the latest update.
Beyond the hygiene aspect, Google underscores the significance of cleansing the Pixel Buds for optimizing audio quality and mitigating potential charging issues arising from inadequate pin-to-pin contact.
Maintenance Benefits:
- Enhanced audio quality and charging performance
- Streamlined access to updates
A corresponding advisory will also manifest within the Pixel Buds application, and for those employing Pixel phones, within the Settings application.
Key Points:
- Maintenance significantly elevates audio quality and charging efficiency.
Selecting either of these notifications will direct users to Google’s existing guidelines for proper earbuds and charging case upkeep.
As discerned, Google does not employ intricate techniques, such as the integrated seal check feature, to detect earbud dirtiness. Instead, the application tracks usage duration and suggests cleaning every 120 hours. For avid users who don their Pixel Buds throughout extended workdays, this translates to approximately three weeks of usage.
However, it’s important to note that users need not await Google’s reminders to engage in Pixel Buds maintenance. Immediate action is advisable and encouraged. Your attention to this matter is appreciated.
