Apple today unveiled a new firmware update for the second-gen AirPods Pro, which is the second update the earbuds have received since they launched in the fall.
The existing 5A377 firmware has been updated to version 5B58.
There’s no word on what features might be included in the updated firmware, so we don’t know what’s new. Apple also doesn’t provide instructions on how to update AirPods software, but firmware is generally installed over-the-air while the “AirPods” are connected to an iOS device. Place the AirPods into the case, connect the AirPods, and then pair the AirPods with an iOS device.
You can check your AirPods or AirPods Pro firmware by following these steps:
- Connect your AirPods Pro to your iOS device.
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap General.
- Tap About.
- Tap AirPods.
- Look at the number next to “Firmware Version.”
If we learn anything about features in the firmware update, we’ll update this article with details, but the software is likely to offer only minor bug fixes.
