To complement the new Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, Google is releasing additional colours of its Pixel Buds Pro noise-cancelling earbuds. They now come in blue and porcelain hues that fit nicely alongside the company’s latest mobile devices. More importantly, Google has announced a handful of new software features that will roll out to its flagship earbuds over the next few weeks. At the top of the list is conversation detection. The Pixel Buds Pro can now sense when you begin speaking, at which point they’ll automatically engage transparency mode and pause whatever audio you’re listening to. Once you’ve stopped talking, the music resumes, and noise cancellation turns back on. Conversation detection is an optional setting, so if you have a habit of chatting with yourself or singing along with your tunes, you can avoid it altogether. Voice call quality could also improve substantially thanks to a one-two punch of new features. First, the Pixel Buds Pro now support Bluetooth Super Wideband, which Google says “doubles the bandwidth for voices, making you sound clearer.” Google says Bluetooth Super Wideband is exclusive to Pixel 8 and newer phones, though.
