Resetting your Pixel Buds and their case will reset all settings. This includes the device name and your preferences for enabling and disabling features. For Pixel Buds Pro 2, this also resets the ability to locate them using Find My Device. To reset your Pixel Buds, do the following steps:
- Go to your device’s Bluetooth settings and forget Google Pixel Buds.
- Plug the charging case into a power source using a USB-C® cable.
- Make sure the Pixel Buds are seated within the charging case and leave the charging case open.
- Press and hold the pairing button on the back of the case for 30 seconds.
- When the earbuds status light (for Google Pixel Buds, this is the light inside the opened case) stops bouncing, let go of the pairing button.
- Check the earbuds status lights.
Pixel Buds Pro 2
The earbuds' status light blinks white and orange during the reset process. Status lights start bouncing white when it's in pairing mode. After resetting, your Google Pixel Buds are ready to pair.
Pixel Buds Pro
Pixel Buds Pro is in pairing mode when bouncing white lights are visible while lights switching white and orange means that the buds are trying to pair but one of them isn't properly seated in the charging case. Try closing and re-opening the lid to re-align the buds.
Notes:
- After you reset your Pixel buds, you can add it on Find My Device by following the instructions in Add headphones or other accessories.
- Pixel Buds Pro 2 acquired from a previous owner or a reseller need to be reset to transfer ownership of the Pixel Buds to you. This is necessary for the Find My Device network to find or track your Pixel Buds Pro 2.
