Google is rolling out an update (firmware version 3.14) to the Pixel Buds Pro that adds the promised full 5-band EQ, left/right balance controls, and unspecified bug fixes.
Once live, the Pixel Buds app (sound menu) will feature the full 5-band EQ promised at launch. You get sliders for five different frequency bands (Upper Treble, Treble, Mid, Bass, Low Bass), and a short demo was shared on Twitter this morning.
There will also be “6 presets tuned by” [Google’s] sound engineers.” This should be Balanced, Clarity, Default, Heavy bass, Light bass and Vocal boost.
Once set up in the app, your preferences will be “implemented on your Pixel Buds Pro no matter what device (i.e. laptop, phone, watch, etc.) you are listening on.”
Jam away.?
With 5-band EQ on #PixelBuds Pro, you can now customize your sound? or choose between presets tuned by our audio engineers.

Meanwhile, Google is adding controls for the left/right balance, while there are also “general bug fixes and improvements”. The company did not go into further details.
These features require Pixel Buds Pro to be updated to firmware version 3.14 (starting August 2.14). We don’t see it being rolled out widely this morning, via the required app update (1.0.474476083+) is already here from the Play Store.
