Google is pushing a free software update to the Pixel Buds Pro 2 and Pixel Buds 2a in September that fixes noise cancellation that falls apart when earbuds shift in the ear. The headline addition, Dynamic ANC, lands alongside Gemini voice controls and expanded Live Translate support. No new hardware, no price hike: the Pixel Buds Pro 2 stay at $229 / £219. Google says Dynamic ANC monitors the fit in real time and recalibrates automatically. According to TechTimes, earbuds typically shift 2–3mm during exercise, which is exactly the gap this feature targets. This is exclusive to the Pro 2; the Buds 2a get the other updates but not Dynamic ANC. Both models gain deeper Gemini integration, allowing the assistant to raise volume, tweak EQ, or skip a track without touching the phone. Live Translate gets a bump to 70-plus languages, activated with a single tap on the earbud. The Pixel Watch tie-in automatically pauses playback and silences notifications if the watch detects you've fallen asleep. At $229 / £219, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 sit below the Sony WF-1000XM5 and Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro — both of which cost £70-plus more in the UK. The price has held since the 2024 launch. Nothing Ear undercuts Google by around $80 in the US. A new Olive (dark green) color option is available to pre-order
