We’ll be keeping an eye out for more Pixel Buds 3 news, and to see if it really can fix the Pixel Buds 2’s Bluetooth infidelities. Still, it does look like both pairs of headphones will break cover before 2021 is done. The AirPods 3 has also been rumored to appear at an Apple April event, though even the event itself hasn’t been confirmed yet, and other reports point towards the Apple earbuds releasing in the second half of this year. Leaker Jon Prosser previously tipped the Pixel Buds 3 for mid-April, which seems a bit soon, but would be well within the pre-September window. And that’s where the potential release window comes in: the confidentiality period expires in September, hinting at a Pixel Buds 3 launch before then. There are no included images, but that’s because the FCC has put a limited confidentiality period on supplied photos.

The (apparent) headphones in these new documents use the same wireless band but output significantly more power, which could mean a stronger Bluetooth signal and fewer dropped connections. In a post on the Pixel Buds Help Forums, three new features were detailed, including the aforementioned bass changes: Customize your bass: With any Android 6.0+ device, you can open the Pixel Buds. That sounds like the perfect opportunity for a Pixel Watch.Other details suggest Google is addressing the weak connectivity issues of the Pixel Buds 2. Pankaj Kedia, Qualcomm's senior director of wearables, confirmed that the new chip is en route, and that it would be featured in a new flagship smartwatch that will be available in time for the holidays. Qualcomm's Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor has been around since early 2016 and has been featured in just about every Android Wear (now Wear OS) smartwatch announced since then. However, this time around we're slightly more optimistic given the source of the rumor and the fact that Qualcomm will soon launch next generation Snapdragon hardware specifically designed for wearables.

We've heard this rumor in years past, and it has never come to fruition. Perhaps the biggest news on the accessory front is that Blass says that Google will launch its own branded Pixel smartwatch alongside the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. There's no word on what features that will be included with the second generation, but battery life is already outstanding (24 hours), so we'd like to see controls to allow you to skip a track (or go back to a previous one) and perhaps less sensitive touch controls (which can be very easily activated by accident in the current iteration).
