Update your AirPods or AirPods Pro firmware


  1. Make sure that your iPhone, iPad, or Mac is updated to the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, or macOS.
  2. Make sure that your AirPods are in Bluetooth range of your iPhone, iPad, or Mac that's connected to Wi-Fi.
  3. Connect your charging case to power.
  4. Put your AirPods in their charging case and close the lid.
  5. Keep the lid of the charging case closed, and wait at least 30 minutes for the firmware to update.
  6. Open the lid of the charging case to reconnect your AirPods to your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
  7. Check the firmware version again.

If you still can’t update your firmware, reset your AirPods, then try to update your firmware again.
