Pixel Buds web app for updates & controls now works on Mac, Windows

Must read

Introduced last year for Chromebooks, the Pixel Buds web app now supports Mac and Windows. 

mypixelbuds.google.com works on macOS 14 Sonoma or newer and Windows 11 or newer after previously being limited to ChromeOS 127+. (It was version 117 a year ago.)

Once your Pixel Buds are paired to the computer, visit that website and select it. You can save “Pixel Buds” as a Progressive Web App (PWA).

Afterwards, you see the battery status of the case and each bud. With Pixel Buds Pro, you can set:

  • Active Noise Control: Off, Noise Cancellation, and Transparency
  • Conversation Detection 
  • Multipoint
  • Touch controls
  • Equalizer 

The “More Settings” gear icon at the top lets you access:

  • Mono Audio
  • Volume EQ
  • Volume Balance 
  • In-Ear Detection
  • Device Serial Numbers

Finally, there’s a Firmware section to update your Google headphones without an Android device. The expansion beyond Chromebooks to Mac and Windows should just about make Pixel Buds available to all that are interested.
