Google is adding a cool new feature to its age-old Pixel Buds
Of course, those are nothing but assumptions, so let's back up a little and focus on what we know. As discovered by 9To5Google, an option to activate "Hey Google" support has surfaced "in the past 24 hours" for a number of Pixel Buds owners on their Bluetooth-connected Android phones. Said option offers to use Voice Match technology to access Google Assistant with a focus on privacy and security on Pixel Buds completely hands-free.
In other words, whenever the feature will actually be made to work, Pixel Buds users will be able to summon their virtual assistant on their wireless earbuds without interacting with said audio accessories by touch. Currently, Google Assistant initiation is only possible by touching and holding the right earbud, which is already pretty cool. But hands-free voice assistance is undoubtedly even cooler, especially with Voice Match ensuring the rightful owner of Google's Pixel Buds is trying to activate Google Assistant by saying the popular hotword.
If you're interested in buying the first-gen Pixel Buds, you should keep in mind these bad boys are not "true" wireless earbuds, featuring a cord that holds the two buds together at all times. Oh, and they're also pretty expensive, at $159.
