Apple Releases Firmware Update for AirPods Pro

I hope this update fixes the ANC being too damn good. Didn't even notice or hear that I lost my case while riding my bike. RIP.
Hmm, are people leaving the case open with phone and AirPods both plugged in? Can't seem to get it to trigger an update
Put both earbuds in the case, close the lid, and put on the charger. Leave it be for a while, or just let it charge to full, then look in your Settings and you should see that you've got the new firmware. That's what I did and it worked.
I don’t think it’s necessarily justApple fanboys who are reacting negatively. You made a pretty broad statement from a position where you can’t know the background (unless you are one of the engineers who work in Apple's audio group).
There are many plausible reasons for an update (audio enhancements, control tweaking, bug reporting capabilities,etc...) that are not necessarily bug fixes. And even if they were bug fixes, all or in part, that doesn’t mean the product wasn’t ready. Continuous improvement is a staple of Six Sigma and other quality control regimes. There is always room to improve a product. One of the wonderful things about software is that you don’t have to wait for a new product iteration to roll out those improvements.
Well, the original comment simply pointed out that the product wasn't ready and that the firmware update was somehow actual proof, which is clearly not the case given that it has worked just fine for most people prior to this firmware update (meaning it was ready) and the firmware update certainly doesn't prove anything one way or another. Somehow then stretching something fairly straightforward into some sort of "defensiveness" commentary, kind of throws it off even more.
Not sure about after the update but before the update the background noise transmitted to the other party when on a phone call was so loud that it was uncomfortable for the other person. Doing things like washing dishes made for a ton of background noise.
Noticed an increase in volume on mine with the new firmware. It was kind of quiet previously even when almost at 100% volume compared to the 1st gen AirPods.

The update happened while in the case and plugged/charging on mine.

Only problem with that is that it looks kinda weird when there are people around...

This has been my biggest issue - by the end of the day, the case is down to 5-10% while my prior AirPods case would still be at 70-80%
I wear my AP Pros when walking in the mall. I've noticed sometimes when I walk by certain stores, it's almost like there is some sort of interference and humming sound. I use the noise cancelling mode. Any ideas why? Could it be a WiFi network, some sort of bluetooth interference or florescent lighting?
It’s probably a signal interference from other Bluetooth devices, it has nothing to do with the Wi-Fi. When you’re transmitting anything via air-wave signal with Bluetooth, there’s bound to be some interruptions or distortion.
Might also be Bluetooth beacons in those stores. The ones that tell them you’re there, even if you don’t tell them you’re there.
I had to return mine within the return timeframe, had the same issues you expressed
just like youth today answering yes to a 2 part question or a complex question with a 1 word answer. So frustrating!! Lol.
Probably the air con and/or fans creating high frequency waves that's harder to filter out using ANC.
I’m really hoping this update fixes the ongoing 1 channel lost connection after big mint he case I’m facing
this is what I’ve been experiencing as well WHEN mine work. Something I’m liking better over the XM3’s which I didn’t think I’d enjoy anything better
I’ve always incisiones these pros would have a metallic outer coating for capacitive touch to slide up or down for volume.
still ... this can be down with the current design:
Click+Click n hold on R to raise volume, on L to lower volume (the trigger would have to be done semi quicker than forwarding a track)
Man! Man you’re really scaring me and putting me in a low mood about this update I’m pending to over over my sleep tonight.
Only problem with that is that it looks kinda weird when there are people around...

Right you are but one can get away with all kinds of things as you get older... mwahahaha
Huh. Mine have the update, but I haven't had them plugged in for 24 hours. I wonder if they update even when not plugged in and over 50 percent juice???
It’s not any louder just compared 2 lots one with new firmware and one without and it’s same still lower than AirPods 2, it’s a placebo I’m afraid
