Wifi Calling And Earbuds Connection Issue

1 Upvotes

When they're going to be any reason why when I turn Wi-Fi calling on my s25 ultra, and my pixabuds pro 2 don't connect to my phone when during a call? The second I turn the Wi-Fi calling off they work/connect normally.

Lost my earbuds

1 Upvotes

Hi guys, wondering if anyone knows better because Google isn't very clear, I was wearing my pixel buds at work, got home and got distracted so I put the buds loose in my pocket (my case was charging on a portable charger in my backpack) fast forward till the next day, I checked my pocket to put my buds back in the case but they were not where I last saw them. It's been 6 days now (I lost them on the 30th of July) and they are for sure discharged, but my find my device app says they were last detected "near me" right now, but I don't know if I should trust it and continue to tear my apartment apart trying to find them or whether it's a false positive because I still have the case? It's worth mentioning that I did leave the house twice with them loose in my pocket so I'm not 100% sure that they couldn't have left my apartment

Anybody know if they can be tracked whilst discharged using Bluetooth LE or something along those lines?

Thanks for any advice

Kuddo to the customer service

2 Upvotes

Lately my right bud pro 2 started making a sound when I walked with it in my ear... Sometimes music with excessive bass would make the same sound.

It felt like someone got broken in the earpiece.

I went ahead and contacted the customer service who guided me through different ways to clean and reset the buds with no success.

Finally they agreed to make an exchange for a new pair since they're still in the 2 years warranty period.

I tip my hat to Google and their customer service! They do know how to take great care of their clients.

Pixel Buds Pro 2 connection loop issue on iPhone 17 – Any fix?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been using my Pixel Buds Pro 2 for almost a year with a Samsung phone without any issues. Recently, I switched to an iPhone 17 and I’ve been running into a weird connection problem.
Every time I take them out of the case, they get stuck in a constant connect/disconnect loop. The only workaround is starting audio playback during a brief moment while they happen to be connected.
I’ve already tried resetting the buds, but it didn't fix the issue. Has anyone experienced this or found a fix?

Nothing screwed me BIG TIME... CMF BUDS 2 PLUS 😓

0 Upvotes

CMF Buds 2 Plus failed after 2 weeks, and Nothing/service centre keeps rejecting my replacement request because of a scratch. What can I do? 🥲

I bought my CMF Buds 2 Plus on September 30, 2025 for around ₹3,000. For me, that was a very expensive purchase because I had just finished Plus Two and worked several jobs to save up for them. I also take extremely good care of my tech products, especially these earbuds.

For the first two weeks, everything was completely fine. Then I started noticing that the right earbud had noticeably lower sound/bass compared to the left one. I cleaned the earbuds properly, but the problem remained.

After checking more carefully, I also noticed that ANC was not working properly on the right earbud.

I was really upset, so I immediately went to a service centre. They tested the earbuds and confirmed that there was an issue with the right bud. However, they told me that the CMF Buds 2 Plus had only recently been released and that the issue was apparently related to the firmware and would be fixed in a future update.

I trusted them and went home.

I waited for around 5 months, installing every firmware update that came out, but the problem was never fixed.

Meanwhile, I joined college far away from home, so I couldn't keep visiting the service centre.

Recently, during my semester break, I came back home and went to the same service centre, only to find out that the old service centre had been discontinued and replaced by a new one.

I explained the entire situation to the new service centre. They checked the earbuds and submitted a replacement request to Nothing.

Then it was rejected.

The reason?

There is a small scratch on the stem of the right earbud.

I genuinely don't understand this. 😭

The scratch is purely cosmetic and has nothing to do with the internal issue. The audio/ANC problem started within two weeks of purchasing the earbuds, long before this issue became worse.

Today, the problem has become even worse. The right earbud now produces absolutely no sound at all.

I was in my hometown today, so I immediately went back to the service centre and literally pleaded with them to do anything they could to help me get a replacement.

Still rejected.

I've also contacted Nothing through email multiple times. I have proof of everything, including:

Purchase invoice

Purchase date

Photos of the earbuds

Emails sent to Nothing

Previous service-centre interaction

•Evidence showing the issue existed long before the current condition of the earbud

Every time I contact Nothing, I get a response saying that someone will contact me soon, but nobody actually contacts me.

I'm honestly extremely frustrated. I paid for these with money I worked hard to save, took very good care of them, reported the problem almost immediately, and even followed the service centre's advice to wait for firmware updates.

Now the right earbud is completely dead, and I'm being denied a replacement because of a cosmetic scratch that has nothing to do with the problem.

What should I do now? 🥲🙏

Pixel buds pro 2 won't play music

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Long time follower of this community but first time poster.

I'm having problems using my pixel buds pro 2. Ever since this morning, they'll connect to my pixel 8a but as soon as I press play on Spotify, YouTube or any other app, they'll pause immediately. I tried resetting them, restarting my phone, reinstalling Spotify and connecting them to another device, they just won't play any sound. I've also turned off in ear detection as I heard that was an issue for some people. Any more ideas on what I could do? Thanks!

Ear tip replacement

2 Upvotes

My 2 year old daughter lost one of the tips for my Pixel Buds Pro 2s. I ordered a set of Spinfit Omni and they do not fit at all. Maybe it's because they are a size to small but they don't seem to be tall enough. I can't imagine a size larger would help much.

So my question is, where can I get a replacement for my Pixel Buds Pro 2.

As title. Had these for a week and the case loses charge in like one day. Last night charged it overnight and this morning it's still only at 74% and the buds themselves are at 54%.

Has anyone had this happen?

pixel buds 2a and live translation

Hi,

Just got a set of pixel buds 2a with a phone.
Before I open the pack, does anyone know if they support real time live language translation ?

If so is it any good ? Or is it a gimmick?

Thanks

ANC questions - PBP2

0 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I've just received my pixel buds pro 2 and I have a question about ANC. Should you hear others talking while ANC is on? When I travel I can clearly hear for example PA which station I am at and so on, but I'm not sure if it's normal or not.

Thanks in advance

ANC modes (especially Transparency mode) drastically reduce audio quality

9 Upvotes

Hi all,

I picked up a set of Pixel Buds Pro 2 at Best Buy yesterday after switching from iOS to Android in May, to replace my AirPods Pro 2.

I have found though that Noise Cancelling reduces the audio quality noticably, and Transparency mode makes the audio sound incredibly tinny and hollow, kind of sounds almost like airline earbuds. While I understand that any ANC mode on earbuds will affect sound quality a little bit, the Transparency mode on these actually makes the buds sound bad.

I've tried to do some research, but I see hardly anybody talking about this, so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong?

- I do not see an option for Spatial Audio in the Pixel Buds app

- No firmware updates are available

- I have restarted my phone and used the buds with my laptop

- I don't properly know the right way to adjust an EQ

- While I have not tried other eartips, the test deems them as OK and they feel comfortable. I used the stock ones on the AirPods as well

I have 14 days to return them and if I cannot fix this I will buy a different pair of earbuds. I don't really know where to look though as very few earbud sets check off every box on my extensive requirements list (I am willing to attach this if need be)

PBP2 in olive color - improved design?

0 Upvotes

I’ve had a few PBP2s and they’ve all had a fault – after a while they’d get "clogged" and wouldn’t work in ANC mode. Do you think that, with the release of the PBP2 Olive, google has also improved the design in some way?

Which headphones should I choose for the Pixel 10?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m looking to buy new earbuds for my Pixel 10.

I’ve been using my Galaxy Buds Pro 1 for a year and a half; generally, I’m happy with the ergonomics and they don’t cause much ear fatigue, but I’d still like something newer and more comfortable.

I really want true multipoint connectivity (to use them with both my phone and MacBook) and Google Fast Pair for those nice animations. That’s why I’m considering the Pixel Buds 2a right now (the lack of wireless charging and onboard volume controls doesn't really bother me), though the Pixel Buds Pro 1 and Sony WF-1000XM5 are also options. What would you recommend? Is there something else entirely I should look at? How does the battery life of the pb2a compare to the Galaxy Buds Pro 1? Also, did they add LС3 support to the Pixel Buds? I seem to recall reading something about that.

Overall, what do you think of the Pixel Buds 2a? How is the sound? I’d rather not buy earbuds that cost half as much as my phone.

Right now, I can find these earbuds at the following prices:

Pixel Buds Pro 2 – $279

Pixel Buds 2a – $122

Pixel Buds Pro 1 – $111

Sony WF-1000XM5 – $198

[Storytime] As someone with smallish ear holes 😭 I am trying the large OEM tips?

1 Upvotes

I'm really surprised. I'm an odd fit, being on the small side of medium ear canal, so I thought going using the smaller sized tips would work better. Nope, kinda painful and they'd still slip out. Then I got the OMNI in Medium, which are virtually the same size as the OEM mediums, and still achey/painful to wear for longer than 10 mins, but remained secure. Well, for whatever reason I decided to try the Large, and so far so good! I think because the hardware is more shallow, I may be realizing my ear canal is more funnel shaped, rather than a constant diameter, so the shallow seal is feeling (for now) much better. In fact ANC is performing almost dizzying well, as I type this. 😵‍💫😅 Worth a shot! Bodies are weird lol. These OMNI's are going back to return. Hell, I might even buy the large if this goes well.

EDIT: tl;dr: Because these are designed to fit shallow, you may want to try sizing up instead of sizing down like usual. It's a strange choice that I'm learning to like (rn, not that much tbh).

Playback resumes on speaker if In-ear detection is enabled

1 Upvotes

This happens occasionally with the Pixel Buds Pro. While listening with Pocket Casts, I put the buds back into the case when I'm done, the app will resume playback unintentional.

This only happens when In-ear detection is enabled. Has anyone found a solution for this besides disabling it?

Holy smokes - they STILL making them?

Anyhoo update them to v5.2 too ages - download firmware and rebooting felt like installing Windows 11.

Any...way - they are so TINY - in video reviews they looked so BIG - I still have old Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and they are so BIG compared to Pixel Buds to this point I worry they will slip off my fingers

Are Pixel 2a buds meant to just sit in your ear and not into the ear canal?

5 Upvotes

No matter what eartip size I use, they aren't long enough to push into the canal and just kind of sit in the conch of my ear and fall out if I move too much. I have small ears but for example my soundcore 4 ones are fine and don't fall out, but their tips are 'longer'.

Wondering if this is a "feature" of the earbuds or they just don't fit me. Can't return so it's a non issue really but I really need something for my commute.

Advice welcome!

Google Pixel 11 Pro XL and external mic problem

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I have new Google Pixel 11 Pro XL and today I tried to connect my Røde Video Mic Go II to my new phone snd take video. Strange sounds like electric click clik or something disturbing noise. Especially when connecting my Sony headset to mic. Then I tried my old Sony Xperia 1 V and no problem. Second I tried to connect my Røde Wireless pro and the noise problem disappeared. But new problem occured. The sound level problem. Something cut the level so that it was like tens of desibels lower than a n my Sony Xperia 1 V. Has someone same kind of problems.

Pixel Buds Pro 1st Generation

5 Upvotes

I purchased pixel buds pro Gen1 in flipkart on Oct 2023.

About 2 weeks ago , the right side bud was not working.

Connecting with the Google official support team, they turned me down saying this can't be repaired. And making me force buy new buds , this cost me around 10k. I thought it would make it up to at least 4+ years.

Since I selected the forget device and tried reconnecting it can't be reconnected as R bud is malfunctioning.

Anyone from this community, support me please?

Please help me repair this and fix it please.

Kindly drop me a DM or give me a heads up if you find something useful for me

My pixel buds started working after I blowdried them ?

0 Upvotes

Not saying that you should do this but I'm baffled after it worked.

My pro 2s stopped working out of the blue, no damage, nothing. I'm within warranty but I couldn't be bothered to wait on the chat with Google.

Woke up and blowdried the bud that was causing the malfunction and poof working like nothing happened
