NEW YORK, NY - OCTOBER 15: Rick Osterloh, SVP of devices and services at Google, discusses the new Google Pixel Buds ear pods during a Google launch event on October 15, 2019 in New York City. Google's new ear buds will be released in Spring 2020 and retail for $179.
Google Pixel Buds A-Series Bluetooth Pairing Bug
As per a recent report by Android Police, a new bug has been troubling Pixel Buds A-Series users recently, making the multi-Bluetooth connection on their wireless earbuds pretty janky.
It is worth mentioning that even though the A-Series earbuds lack high-end features like active noise cancellation, it offers multi-device connection support right off the bat.
Essentially, it gives its users an option to connect to more than a single device at once. Given that, they could seamlessly switch from their smartphone to their laptop without the tedious chore of disconnecting and connecting each device. A handy feature, indeed.
However, a firmware update that goes by version 3.519.0 seemingly broke the multi-Bluetooth connection.
When Pixel Buds users attempted to pair with their second device, an annoying bug appeared to be getting out of the way.

Google Support told Pixel users that "we are aware of an issue" affecting Pixel Buds A-Series users, preventing them from connecting their earbuds to a second device.
The tech giant went on to "apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused." Besides the apology, the Pixel maker announced that it has already addressed the multi-Bluetooth connection issue.
The search giant assures that the new update, which fixes the janky connectivity, is set to be fully rolled out on February 6, Monday. But as early as now, Pixel Buds users could get their hands on it right away.
To do so, they will have to update their wireless headphones manually. And here's how to go about it.
