Have never been able the get my AirPods Pro to update, keep trying to no avai, tried open case and closed case nothing after leaving them for 12 hours or more, a crapshoot way to update, should be a normal download.

Always with new firmware waiting on to see if that rumored Airpods Max airplay for lossless will ever come about
can confirm my Powerbeats just updated.
it appears even easier to update beats headphones just powered them on for a couple minutes then powered off which I noticed they even tho they appeared to be powered off (white led goes off) they remained connected to my iPad (device I last used them with) then finally after a few minutes they disconnected.
And as always, it infuriates me that Apple makes a line of products that have no direct way to upgrade their software.
I wouldn’t care as much, if they simply let me know an update was happening, or was going to happen. Instead, those of us who can’t help ourselves have to try to get them to update when we want, which kind of feels like throwing chicken bones, whether you can get it to work or not.
So my Airpods 2 updated and I got a new feature where they're giving off a constant loud static / white noise. It goes away if you play some music. Comes back again if you disconnect and reconnect.
Heres hoping it fixes the ridiculous amount of battery drain while in the case with the AirPods Max.
My AirPods Pro don't drop a % when in their case, whereas the AirPods Max can drop 8-10 percent in an 18-24 hour period.

Pff… I wouldn’t hold my breath.. I am actually paranoid that they screwed up something else on top of it to be honest
For me the Find My works for the Airpods Pro. Do that know about the Airpods Max yet cos they haven't updated yet.. Can't activate the notifications if I leave them behind though. But perhaps that's just a bug. I'm on the iOS beta.
Edit: The notifications do work. It's just the option to notify me when they are found that's greyed out when they are not missing.

(Not so) patiently waiting for the firmware to update... Really like spatial audio, but I haven't gotten over the sorry fact I have $250 headphones that I can't use to make a phone call from a city street because the party on the other end of the call can't hear anything but ambient noises when I'm talking.
Just updated my AirPod Pro’s. So far special audio on YouTube seems to be louder and improved.
It’s the same with the AirPods Max which are even more expensive. Never managed to have a phone call with them. Dunno how is this possible…
AirPods Pro case updated from 1.0.8 to 1.3.5 too. Maybe a sign Find My integration is coming?
Hahha. I hope improved cuz I feel it hasn’t been as good in the past few weeks.
In the AirPods info tab, tap Version and it will cycle to case version number. Can confirm, Find My integration working (with iOS 15.1 beta 2 at least).
