According to GSM Arena, it's interesting to see that Google is taking another big step towards improving its smart assistant experience. It seems that if users opt-in for an improved Google Assistant experience, the system will store and analyze your own voice for a more 'Personalized speech recognition' to improve response time and accuracy. The assistant will also have access to Google's servers, where summaries of other users' speech models will be aggregated and analyzed. The feature will likely allow more advanced recognition of commands and contact names. As per GSM Arena, it's believed that Google will leave an option in the settings to opt-out of the personalized speech recognition if you don't wish your voice to be stored anywhere.

As per The Verge, the Pixel Buds Pro is the first pair of Pixel Buds supporting active noise cancellation. The earbuds feature a custom 6-core audio processor and use custom algorithms to cancel out the noise. They also use a feature called 'Silent Seal to adapt to the shape of your ears in order to maximize the amount of noise cancelled.

Featuring a custom-designed 11mm driver, the Volume EQ automatically adjusts tuning based on the volume level. A 5-band EQ further helps in customizing the sound as per one's liking. The Pixel Buds Pro also features a transparency mode with pressure sensors inside them. Google says it actively measures the pressure inside your ear so the headphones can relieve pressure to keep one comfortable, although it's unclear exactly how they do this.

Pixel Buds Pro will also receive an update later this year that will enable spatial audio support. Users can enjoy surround sound effects while viewing spatial audio content on compatible Pixel phones. Other notable features include beamforming microphones, voice accelerometer, wind-blocking mesh covers, multipoint connectivity, touch controls, and hands-free Google Assistant support with real-time translation.

The earbuds also come with IPX4 water resistance. Going on sale from July 21, the Pixel Buds Pro will be available in four colours: Coral, Lemongrass, Fog, and Charcoal.
