I hope that fixes the very low quality voice recording...
Also the OS should be called earOS

Apple Quietly Updates AirPods Firmware to Version 3.5.1

To the lovers of wireless Bluetooth headsets. When I watch Netflix on my Reinta Macbook Pro I get intermitted audio drops and distortion probably due WiFi interference.
But dropping the iPhone headphone jack is a win, win win, and the future or so they said :-/

I hope this fixes the issue that you can actually walk into an Apple Store and buy them.
I bought mine from att and got 2 day shipping, and i'm not with att, not sure why people insist on waiting for 6 weeks, when you can get it in a few days.
Mine updated in less than 15 seconds
1: Leave Airpods in case with case open
2: Verify Airpods are connected in Bluetooth settings
3: Go to Settings/General/About and look at for Airpods, which should appear immediately after SEID
I stayed on the General/About screen for a about 10 seconds, and my Airpods disappeared from the screen.
15 seconds later they reappeared with the updated firmware
EDIT: Subsequent to posting the above some posters further down have some additional info

Side note: My Airpod case was at 53% when I did the update.

I checked minutes after a user first reported this, mine were already updated. Crazy how fast that happens.
Not true. They can be in the case with the case open.
Thank you! totally worked!
If they fall out of your ears you should just return them. You do know that Apple allows returns, right?
The vast majority of people who've tried the new AirPods have reported that they do not fall out.

That's not a bug but a feature. If they stayed connected all the time, even when not in use, this would kill their battery life unnecessarily. But hey, if you complain loud enough maybe Microsoft will release a set of ZunePods featuring this option.
The only reason that I want to buy them from the Apple Store is because I have gift cards.
You also have to be able to catch the like 10 minute window when they are actually available from AT&T, Verizon, etc.
curious..... did you consider going to an audiologist and getting custom ear molds for the AirPods? I ask because no manufacture can possibly make in-ear headphones that fit all ears.

Ah yes, we all miss the good old days when the only way to improve a product you already purchased was to buy another one.
Was wearing mine just now looking to see how to force update. About halfway down the first page I heard the AirPod shutdown/disconnect sound and 5 seconds later the reconnect sound. They're updated! Running 10.3b1
I hope this fixes the issues I've been having being unable to reliably use AirPods for calls. I can be listing to music, get a call, answer it and hear nothing. I then switch to either speaker or the phone to speak... like an animal!
