Today Google has started rolling out a new software update for its Pixel Buds Pro and brings with it an essential feature that should have been integrated from the start: a customizable five-band equalizer.
There is no excuse for TWS earphone makers to skimp on this one, and while Google got off to a good start, we appreciate the fact that it has decided to fix things with this software update.

It is currently “slowly rolled out” and the rollout is expected to take about a week to reach all devices out there in the wild. When you get it and install it, you will be on version 3.14. To receive the update, make sure the Pixel Buds app on your phone is version 1.0.474476083 or later.
So here’s what you get: a custom five-band equalizer to play with to your liking, but also six presets tuned by Google’s audio engineers, in case you want to quickly find a good setting and don’t waste time with all the bands yourself.
As you’d expect, once you’ve configured your favorite settings in the Pixel Buds app, they’ll be kept on your Buds Pro no matter what device you’re listening to. Additionally, the update includes controls for left / right balance as well as “general bug fixes and improvements”.
