Apple Updates AirPods Pro Firmware to Version 2D15

[MacRumors]

Apple today released a new firmware update for the AirPods Pro, upgrading the previous firmware, version 2C54 or 2B588, to the new firmware, 2D15.

There is no word on what's new in the refreshed firmware at this time, though there have been some complaints from AirPods Pro users about Active Noise Cancellation issues with the prior firmware.

There's no clear cut way to upgrade the firmware of the AirPods Pro, with the new firmware installed over-the-air while the AirPods are connected to an iOS device. Putting the ?AirPods? in the case, connecting the ?AirPods? to a power source, and then pairing the ?AirPods? to an iPhone or an iPad should force the update after a short period of time.

Check your AirPods Pro firmware by following these steps:

1. Make sure the ?AirPods? are connected to your iOS device.
2. Open the Settings app.
3. Tap General.
4. Tap About.
5. Tap ?AirPods?.
6. Look at the number next to "Firmware Version."

Apple in December released the 2C54 firmware update, but later pulled it, so some people who updated have the 2C54 firmware while others are still on 2B588.

AirPods Pro firmware updates often include performance improvements, bug fixes, and feature tweaks, but we may not find out what's new as Apple does not provide any kind of release notes for ?AirPods updates. There is no update for the standard AirPods at this time.

I'm frightened to install this.

 

[GreenPixel]

Hopefully this is the Great Fix.

 

[Costino1]

Nothing on my end yet....Hoping this improves the ANC

 

[Charlie.V]

I'm frightened to install this.

Do you have a choice? Doesn't it just happen when it feels like it?

 

[MrLoL]

I'm legitimately scared to update as well

 

[thejadedmonkey]

I'm honestly surprised that they can do this. Given their reluctance in the past, I had assumed there was some update related bug in the initial firmware.

 

[xxray]

I’m really hoping this leads to some improvements after being stuck on 2C54.

 

[now i see it]

If your Airpods work well enough- don't do it

 

[nikotown]

hoping they reverted/fixed the noise cancelation as it was when it was initially released.

If your Airpods work well enough- don't do it

you cant stop it from happening. it happens automatically

 

[jerry16]

Fingers crossed it addresses the low volume issue when connected to devices like AirFly Pro. Makes a transatlantic flight miserable the way it is now!

 

[jbachandouris]

I don't remember, but don't they have to be plugged into the charger to update?

 

[metalsiren]

I don't remember, but don't they have to be plugged into the charger to update?

my understanding is yes they have to be charging

 

[Furfural]

My pair has already been updated to 2D15 from 2B588; didn't do anything other than connecting (BT, not wired) to my MBP for ~30 minutes. Haven't felt any changes.

 

[AZMecha]

I do hope that this fixes my pairing issues since ver 2B588 every time I'm into a good set of music either ear will stop connecting and I go back through ear fittest and it fails. When got these at launch did not have any issues until firmware...

 

[jdavid_rp]

Fix for the rattling please

 

[Costino1]

My update just came through.....no change

 

[decypher44]

Come onnnnn, update!

There really should be a more straightforward way to update firmware. Seriously.

 

[LuciusMalfoy]

you cant stop it from happening. it happens automatically

I think the only way you can prevent it from happening is to keep your AirPods away from your iPhone when charging.

 

[Kylo83]

no change at all ANC is the same not better

 

[Sharewaredemon]

While connected to your Mac, you can look up the firmware version in System Profiler under Bluetooth.

 

[metalsiren]

I have a great idea Apple, how about have release notes so we as the consumers know what was changed or fixed.

 

[AustinIllini]

Unless they can make them fit my ear, i'm out

 

[decypher44]

If it isn’t fixing the ANC, what the heck did they release this for????
