If you have AirPods or AirPods Pro, you’ve probably noticed that Apple regularly pushes out software updates for them. These updates are important as they contain bug fixes and improvements for your AirPods, so it’s a good idea to keep them up-to-date. But how do you check the firmware version of your AirPods or AirPods Pro? In this blog post, we’ll explain how to see the current firmware version of your AirPods.
First, make sure your AirPods are connected to your iOS device. To do this, open Settings and tap on the Bluetooth option; here, you should see all of the devices that are currently connected to your phone. Select “AirPods” and make sure they’re connected. If they aren’t connected, try connecting them using their case as described in our earlier blog post about connecting AirPods to an iOS device.
Once your AirPods are connected, open the Settings app again and tap on General > About > Apple Earphones (or “AirPods” if you have an older model). Here you should see the firmware version listed next to “Firmware Version”—this is the current version installed on your AirPods. As of July 21st, 2022, the latest version is 4E71 for both Gen 1/2/3 of Airpods and also for AirPod Pros.
It’s also a good idea to update your firmware whenever new versions become available—simply put the headphones in their case, connect them to a power source (either via Lightning cable or Qi wireless charging), then pair them with an iPhone or iPad which will force an update if one is available. It’s best to charge their case while updating as well.
We hope this guide has helped you learn how to check and update the firmware on your AirPods or AirPod Pros! If you have any other questions about using these headphones, don’t hesitate to let us know in the comments below!
