How do I use Gemini on Pixel Buds 2a?
First, ensure that Gemini is selected as the default digital assistant on the phone paired with your Pixel Buds.
To use Gemini, you can customise if the right or left earbud triggers Gemini in the Pixel Buds companion app or in settings. You can long-press on the customised earbud or simply you can say 'Hey Google'.
To use Gemini Live, you can long-press the customised earbud and say 'Let's talk live' or you can say 'Hey Google, let's talk live'.
Can Pixel Buds 2a connect to multiple devices?
Yes, Pixel Buds 2a can seamlessly connect and switch between multiple devices. Your Pixel Buds can automatically switch between watching a movie on your tablet to taking a call on your phone to listening to a running playlist on your watch.
Seamless audio switching moves you seamlessly between devices based on what you're doing, while multipoint connectivity lets you maintain connections to two devices at the same time.
How can I recover my Pixel Buds 2a?
How do I set up and wear my Pixel Buds 2a?
Your Pixel Buds are pre-attached with medium eartips and come with extra small, small and large ear tips so that you can optimise your fit. Ears are unique, so your left ear may be different from your right ear. We recommend that you try at least two different sizes for each ear to find the best fit.
Gently insert your earbud into the ear. After inserting each earbud, use the twist-to-adjust stabiliser to slightly rotate the earbud back and forth until it comfortably stays in place when you move your head.
