My APP2 are on 8B28, went quick. The case however is lagging behind and still on 80.1.21, so it sounds like both updated successfully for you to the same versioning number.
Edit: I own the Lightning variant in case (pun intended) that's relevant.
Got a tip for us?

My AirPods Pro 2 with Lightning case updated to 8B28 along with the AirPods themselves within a few minutes of putting them in the case after using them yesterday.
Thanks for the info. I've rarely had them both update concurrently, but usually not too far behind.
It needs to work in first place because right now it’s way over promised and under performing. Like, does it do what’s promised? After a fashion, I guess, not in a useful way. Good enough, send it!
I've often read that 8B28 should also be on the case. I don't understand why mine says 80.1.28?! It can't be a special version just for the EU, right? Or it depends on iOS version if connected iPhone. I’m on 18.7.2
Is there anyone from the EU here who could share info about their AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C MagSafe)?

Is the Battery 🔋 life better? Is their new modem firmware? I notice my cell connection goes on and off sometimes in 26.1.
My Pro2's case hasn't even updated to the last version. Not sure what's up with getting the case to update but it's a serious pain..
Same here, got the 8B30 firmware on the device and case.
Took a couple nights I guess but now both case and AirPods are on 8b28.
Didn’t didn’t do anything special to get it.
Lightning APP here in the EU. My case has just updated from 80.1.21 to 80.1.28. Buds 8B28 (from 8B21).
That make sense why more audio is pushed through ANC today on my APP2 USB-C way more…
Apple really love to nerf headphones ANC over time. Absolutely behaves like Gen1 and it’s not mesh as I clean them regularly but pure SW.

Sound tuning has changed. High frequencies are more even and a liiittle less prominent, still V shaped but less harsh
