The news follows widely broadcast consumer ire around audio dropouts associated with the wireless earbuds, differing according to handsets paired and more.
Google is also set to release a software update (Firmware: 296) which will decrease an audio hissing/static noise many consumers vocalised.
The support forum outlines various levels of customer difficulty, and Google has urged consumers to keep offering feedback as it seeks to resolve the issues.
As an update to the original support forum acknowledgment, the same Google employee has advised improvements will seek to address; phone call cut outs, autorecovery when one (or both) buds lose connection, plus media playback stability.
