Apple Releases Firmware Update for AirPods Pro

This close to after the product release? YES! This isn't a bug that cropped up after long term extended use or after a change in a production or internal parts supplier change.

How do you know it even addressed a bug? Perhaps it delivers enhancements? Or fine tunes things based on the accumulated user data since release.

The regular AirPods receive firmware updates all the time too. I can't tell if you're serious/trolling

Leave it to an editor to call someone out for trolling! The rest of us would be banned! 😂

Please do, if you have a bad seal then the sound won't be as good. If you can't get a seal with the tips they gave you in the package you deformed ear canals and are outside the normal persons ear canal.

No, my point is how the Airpods were designed. I have used ear plugs, earbuds, in ear headphones, in ear monitors or wahetever you want to call it for 30 years, Sony, Panasonic, Aiwa, Koss, iPod, AKG, Shure.. name them.. I have never had a problem with sealing, only how Air Pods are designed. The tip is pretty opened up and doesn't go in the ear canal so much.

Your sealing problem is the source of the sound quality issue. Unfortunately there are going to be some customers who can’t get a good fit with any of the three ear tips. If they’re falling out, that’s a pretty good indicator of a poor fit. I would definitely return them.

When Comply releases their compatible tips, you might want to give them a try if you still have any interest.

No, because when they're really close to the ear canal, i can hear well, i can hear well how the high frecuencies are mudded, really lack of definition. A good seal, mostly improves the low frecuencies.

Too bad Apple didn’t fix the shape of the AirPod Pro. I returned mine after 1 day. They killed my ears! The sound was great, but the things are to big for my ears. They felt like the old round headphones.

I realized a pattern, it sounds better with more recent music. Music that I define as more "synthetic". It's sounds fine with pop, dance, hip hop music of nowadays. Music with real instruments, with more details and such, rock, prog rock, blues, jazz, etc.. cymbals and higer frecuencies don't sound so clear and enjoyable.
 
Back OT, love my AirPods Pro and the update can only improve on things. But, as others have said, it would be nice to know what’s actually been updated

Did you try to replace the default ear tips with the smaller ones included?

nah me as well I returned them, AirPods 2 sound louder and more punch, the auto eq they done isn't good, I don't want it telling me how it should sound

Dan, I think you’re the only person in the forums who has complained they aren’t loud enough...
All personal opinion, but I have the AirPods 2 as well, and to me, they sound equally loud.
As others have said, I rarely listen to them at full volume, 3/4 way is usually loud enough for me.
As for AirPods 2 being punchier, there I completely disagree. Of course they’re not on/over ear punchy, they’re not “big” enough, but there’s definitely more bass than the 2s...

That is right! We are trying to build an 'inclusive' environment where all snowflakes can feel safe to share and complain without getting publicly shamed for their comments. 🙄 <...sometimes>

What do I know, I'm just a 15-year forums newbie posting...

You have learned to accept this as the new normal. What did they do before a product could be remotely "fixed"? You would have to take it to a repair shop or send it back to the manufacturer for it to be fixed or replaced at a huge cost to them. So back then there was a lot more testing and verification of products to make sure this type of thing didn't happen. Now that isn't the case, if there is a bug discovered in pre-release testing that looks like it can be fixed later rather than holding up the release up they go forward and just "patch" it later.
Now I will agree today's hardware is a LOT more complex then that used to be but the manufacturers use the firmware update as a way to help themselves not you.

Edit:
However to directly answer your question about the Switch, I can't do that because I don't know what those updates did OR how quickly they came out the product release.

You're looking at it the wrong way - it's 2019 and devices are connected. What's wrong with a company continually updating products already in customers hands? Surely that's a good thing?

It would be nice to have a specific AirPods Pro App or Section in Settings to update/change their settings.
 
After keeping my new AirPods open and next to my phone for about 3-4 minutes, the new firmware version showed up on my phone.
