- The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 feature a speaker in their charging case.
- Right now, that speaker is used for Find My Device, and to sound audio alerts for things like when you’re battery’s low.
- Google seems to be working on a new audio alert that would signal when you’ve put your earbuds back in their case correctly.
How many times has this happened to you: You’re done listening to music, or your earbuds just need a charge, and you take them off and pop them in their case, only to get their alignment completely wrong? Maybe you’re getting the left and right buds swapped around and putting them in the opposite spot, or maybe they’re in the right case position but are turned around and not making contact with charging pins.
Most of the time, we notice pretty quickly and there’s no harm other than momentarily feeling a bit embarrassed, but it can suck if you come back later expecting to use your fully charged buds, only to still find them dead. Luckily for Pixel Buds owners, Google could be doing something about all this.
