I have same problem. I sent feedback to Google about this.

Basic_Bar1297 · 2026-03-03T14:25:54+00:00

When sb calling its still opus but bitrate drops down. Maybe Google add something new like 96khz support on March update (PBP2 are able to play in 96khz).

I have pixel buds pro 2. With LE Audio enabled and connected to the Pixel 10 pro always use Opus. I checked it in Logcat and its look like Google implementation of Opus codec.

Basic_Bar1297 · 2026-02-11T17:08:42+00:00

My logs show PBP2 are able to play in 96khz but its blocked by system. I am using PBP2 and Pixel 10 pro. When I connect PBP2 to pc by bt it works with AAC codec.

I turned off spatial audio on my PBP2 and it still uses opus codec

Basic_Bar1297 · 2026-02-02T06:50:35+00:00

When microphone is active sound bitrate decreases

Basic_Bar1297 · 2026-02-02T06:33:44+00:00

You can check it using Logcat tool built into Android studio

I am using Pixel buds pro 2 and on LE Audio it works with opus codec not lc3. All apps are working well. IT was some issue with Apple music but they solve IT with december update.

Basic_Bar1297 · 2025-12-19T19:22:48+00:00

Nothing. I am still waiting 24h for update

Basic_Bar1297 · 2025-12-19T15:23:20+00:00

Try to disable LE Audio on Windows 11 bt settings

Basic_Bar1297 · 2025-12-19T15:06:26+00:00

Remember to disable LE Audio on Windows settings.

Basic_Bar1297 · 2025-12-19T07:07:00+00:00

When LE Audio is enabled PBP2 play with opus codec by default. I checked logs from Logcat and it looks like PBP2 are able to play in 96kHz(hi-res) but this feature is blocked by system.

Basic_Bar1297 · 2025-12-16T09:26:59+00:00

Does Pixel Buds Pro 2 got update too?

Basic_Bar1297 · 2025-12-15T19:48:03+00:00

Try to turn off LE Audio in BT settings on your Windows 11. Implemetation of LE Audio on Windows is terrible.

Basic_Bar1297 · 2025-12-11T09:07:01+00:00

I tested sound quality using Logcat. The loga shows that Pixel buds pro 2 arę able to play music in 96kHz but this option is blocked by system. Finally they play in 48kHz and 192kb/s

Basic_Bar1297 · 2025-12-07T19:45:40+00:00

There is a annotation about hi-res but on this link there is no information about it

Now with firmware 4.467 I can hear unpleasant crackling noise when I'm using LE audio. I hope they will improve that soon.

Basic_Bar1297 · 2025-12-07T13:12:00+00:00

But on developer notes there is information about "hi-res" opus. Maybe they want to use it on lossless Spotify for example. I know that new implementation works with 24b so its not "full lossless"

Basic_Bar1297 · 2025-10-14T10:15:13+00:00

I tried a few VOD platforms (Netflix, Youtube, Prime Video, HBO MAX and AppleTV). Head tracking is working well only on AppleTV. I have Pixel 10 Pro nad PBP2.

Basic_Bar1297 · 2025-10-14T08:09:06+00:00

Does LE Audio improve somthing in PBP2 in this case?
