I was thinking the very same thing. Mine haven't updated yet and it's been charging for a long time now.
Oh I didn't know Beats has an app for that? Can you point me in to that direction, if you don't mind. Application? Website?
EDIT: Nevermind, found it on the Beats website. LOL Duh.
I always had trouble updating my airpods i wish they had a internal toggle to do so!!
Someone else asked this but no one answered. We must be missing something re: Spatial Audio. Why do we want it to sound like the sound is coming from our phone or iPad? Wouldn't it be better to have traditional stereo sound where the sound feels like its all around us?
It does. Surround sound from all directions, and pointed sounds each from their own direction. Dialogue from the middle, if the character is there and the iPad is too. Above you, if the monster is there, coming through the roof. It sounds like a multi-speaker setup, centered on the device.
Doesn't affect it, mine is in the same condition. Followed instructions of placing them in charger, connecting charger to power, and pairing (with iPhone in my case). Left it for 10 mins., returned, and they were ready.
It's only coming from your ipad/iphone if the actual sound is coming from the center of what's getting displayed. Center of what you're viewing = your screen and then surroundings around your head. Sounds from the left are on the left, sound behind you are behind you,...
I'm still waiting for my Pro's to update otherwise I'd test this myself: does anyone roll their own Plex server? If so, does it work with Plex-hosted content?
You may also “Forget This Device” your Airpods Pro to “officially” test it.

Got mine to update by switching Bluetooth off on the phone and then back on and reconnected the AirPods
They wouldnt update at first so i took them out, listened to a song, put them back in, connected the case to charger and left it open for 5min
Edit: Never mind, I'm just an idiot.

Just watched a part of Blade Runner 2049 and sounds like a movie theater, it's quite impressive for such a small device.
wow! really really cool! you can hear the sound from your phone, I am trying with Greyhound movie, minute 20 and is spectacular!
I've tried this twice (forget + re-pair) but to no avail. I'm on the latest dev beta. I've tried restarting my phone twice, leaving on charger next to phone, leaving lid open for 15+ minutes, closing lid, putting earbuds in ears, then back in case, etc... seems like I've tried everything. Overall, I've been trying for over an hour. Still stuck on 2D27
?♂️ Apple needs to add a way to manually update.
After updating swipe down from the top right and long press the volume button.

You have to be on the beta.
