Apple Releases New '3C39' AirPods Max Firmware

A few days ago I thought the ANC isn't that strong anymore. Now, I'm listening to music played from my Mac using the APM and thought so again, so I wanted to check if there was a firmware update that might have caused this, just to find this news, and I see my APM already have this version.
So, either this is pure coincidence, or the firmware update got released a few days ago and the ANC got worse?

BS. What the hell is with people making excuses for stupid design decisions by Apple?
Amazing update. Airpods Max playing smoothly, no stuttering. Thanks Apple!
I just connected them to my iPad, played some music, sat them down without being in the bra and eventually they updated. did not connect them to power at all. they were at 90% charge
While I would prefer a full power off option, its really a trivial issue.
Why doesn't Apple just put a &*#@ update button instead of us having to do this nonsense.
You don't have to do anything, they will just update.
I don't have all day to keep checking and waiting. And what if you don't want the update? No way to stop it. This is just plain dumb and a bad design.
yep this part is STUPID, they need an update button or something
I've been trying for a while now and nothing. There is no indication that anything is happening. Really poor interface. I guess I will have to quit my job so I can update my headphones.
A fireplace 🤣🤣🤣
Why would you check and wait for it? Just use them without thinking about it.
You could argue that the first comment was useful, in that, someone about to post about what wasn't fixed, would "gut check" before commenting. Also the original comment has sparked conversation on what is a necessary post. #Deep /s
Nope, safari is definitely snappier on the AirPods Max! Great update!
The issue is, *I* will decide if and when to update, not when Apple decides for me.
Had chronic battery drain issues in the second week of ownership after launch.
They've been absolutely flawless since. Perfect connection, perfect switching, minimal drain* when not in use. Fantastic product ime.
Flipside, had loads of persistent minor issues with AirPods Pro.
*I would prefer the option of a full shutdown but heyho. My Sony XM4's, I didn't use them for 2.5 weeks. 100% battery when I came back to them (yeah yeah, there will be some tiny degree of drain - for the pedants).

Just take them out of the bra and let them connect to your apple device via Bluetooth. Listen for a few seconds then when you put them back in the bra they get updated. At least that’s how mine got updated.
All these comments abut battery drain has be wishing they could add drains to the ear cups so that the inside of my AirPods Max don't look like 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea after just a couple of hours of use.
I found a solution for the condensation issue!
What I do is just not look inside of my headphones after use and there's never any condensation after long periods of wear.
