Apple today released new firmware designed for the second-generation AirPods Pro, which means the new AirPods will have a firmware update available on day one at launch. Firmware 5A377 is now available for new AirPods Pro owners, up from the 5A374 firmware they came with. Apple hasn’t provided information about what’s included in the updated firmware updates for AirPods, so we don’t know what improvements or bug fixes the new firmware brings. There’s no standard way to upgrade AirPods software, but firmware is generally installed over-the-air while AirPods are connected to an iOS device. Placing the AirPods in the case, connecting the AirPods to a power source, and then pairing the AirPods with an iPhone or iPad will force the update after a short time. You can check your AirPods or AirPods Pro firmware by following these steps:
Connect AirPods or AirPods Pro to your iOS device. Open the Settings app. Tap General. Tap About. Tap AirPods. See the number next to “Firmware Version”.
If we learn of any notable changes in the firmware update, we’ll share details, but the software likely offers performance improvements and minor bug fixes.
