Unveiled all the way back in October 2019, Google’s first-ever true wireless earbuds were only commercially released a full six months later for some reason, but although they did a number of things well right out the box, the redesigned Pixel Buds are hardly perfect.
Unfortunately, this is not one of the more widespread problems reported in the last few months, although you can probably imagine how frustrating it must have been to live with constant audio cutouts for people who did experience the bug. We’re talking mysterious music interruptions happening every 1 minute and 50 seconds of audio playback like clockwork, which have been going on for, well, far too long and are now a thing of the past thanks to the v552 update.
This will be installed automatically the next time you place your true wireless Pixel Buds in their charging case… as long as said case has enough juice to go around. First and foremost, you need to make sure your swanky new earbuds stay connected to an Android handset for about 10 minutes, which should be plenty of time to transfer the update from your mobile device before it’s actually installed.
