New update brings a five-band custom EQ feature to the Pixel Buds app

Google has started rolling out a new software update for the Pixel Buds and it’ll bring an essential feature that should have been built-in from the start – the 5-band customizable EQ. While Google started off on the wrong foot, it’s a relief that the OEM decided to mend things with the new software update. The new v1.0.478411359 update is slowly rolling out and it is expected to take almost a week to reach all the devices out there. Once you get it, you should install it and your Pixel Buds will go to version 3.14. For getting the update, ensure that your Pixel Buds app is version 1.0.474476083 or newer.

You’ll get a 5-band custom EQ with the update, along with six presets calibrated by Google’s audio specialists. Once you’ve configured your Pixel Buds settings in the app, they’ll be saved regardless of the device you’re using. The update includes left/right balancing controls and bug fixes.
