`Apple Releases New Firmware Update for AirPods
`Wednesday May 24, 2017 11:28 AM PDT by Juli Clover
`
`Apple today released a new 3.7.2 firmware update for its AirPods, likely introducing bug fixes and
`performance improvements to the wireless earbuds.
`
`AirPod firmware updates are installed automatically when the AirPods are connected to the iPhone,
`so AirPods users should begin seeing the new firmware soon as the update rolls out to everyone.
`
`AirPods owners can check the version number in the Settings app by going to General --> About -->
`AirPods while the AirPods are connected to the iPhone.

`Apple did not provide release notes with the firmware update, so it is not known what problems the
`new software might address.
`
`Though AirPods were first released back in December of 2016, they continue to be in short supply.
`Shipping times for the AirPods are still at six weeks from the online Apple Store.

`
`I'm on 3.5.1 too. 3.5.1 is the previous version. Not sure how to trigger the automatic firmware
`update.
`
`The update is automatic. To update the Airpods, conduct the following: Case lid must be open conduct
`update.
`
`* Place the AirPods in its charging case.
`* The case must be plugged into a charger. (This is not required, but suggested.)
`* The case must be linked to an iPhone nearby and connected to Wi-Fi.
`

`
`* Open the Settings app on your phone.
`* In the Settings app, go to General > About > AirPods. (Note: AirPods will only display in About when
`connected to your iPhone).
`* From there, look for "Firmware Version" and check the number to see if you have the latest version
`(which is 3.5.1, as of 1 February 2017).

`
`The change of this version is on the microphone of the airpods, you can choose whether the
`microphone on the right, on the left or that detects it.
`
`That option was there before this update

`
`How are early adopters getting on with their AirPods? Are they worth the money?
`
`Oh dear, these tiny buds are awesome. If you can get over the tension that you might lose one of these,
`they make your life a bit easier. I love my Airpods.
`
`I use them way more then regular people. I'm renting a house where I don't have a dedicated sound
`system. I do everything related to sound with these babies. Taking phone calls, listening to stuff all day at
`work, consuming media at home, movies, running all of them.
`
`Love it!

`It's freaky high silent the upgrade is. No notification, no noticeable disruption. It just works.
