According to the report, users experiencing this issue are receiving an error message saying, “Voice Match is disabled because this device does not support the selected Assistant language,” despite never changing the language they were using before:

Those experiencing this issue are prompted after connecting their Pixel Buds Pro by a “Say 'Hey Google' off” prompt. Google says “Voice Match is disabled because this device does not support the selected Assistant language.” The recommended solution is to “select a supported language in the Assistant language settings” with a link to those preferences.

Google has not yet responded to the reports or provided a timeline for when the issue might be fixed.

The Pixel Buds Pro are Google's answer to the AirPods Pro

Google has been slowly but surely expanding its headphone lineup. First, the company announced the Pixel Buds. So they launched the more affordable Pixel Buds A Series.

Finally, to take on the AirPods Pro, the company launched the Pixel Buds Pro.

The headphones come with noise cancellation, automatic switching between devices, and more than a day of battery life. Here are some additional resources for reference:

  • Active noise cancellation with Silent Seal™
  • Up to 31 hours of total listening time
  • Just say “Hey Google” for a little help
  • Transparency mode helps you hear what's outside
  • Wireless charging

At US$$199, the Pixel Buds Pro are US$$50 cheaper than the AirPods Pro. They're a solid option for Pixel, Android, and even iPhone owners.

Headphones will become even more important as Google continues to expand its product lineup with the Pixel Watch and Pixel Tablet.
