How to update firmware on AirPods Max?

Basically what the title says. I cannot get my AirPods Max to update to save my life.


Current they are firmware: 5B59


I believe the most current is 5E133.


How can I update my AirPods? I'm really hoping they fix the mono only sound I get when listening to some streams online and not others, but this is not affecting other sound outputs, just my Maxes.

Hello CadeRageous,


What you have to do, is plug your Airpods Max in, while in Bluetooth range from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. The firmware will automatically update. Here is an Apple Support Article that talks about the issue you may be facing. About firmware updates for AirPods - Apple Support (IE)


Hope this helps.
