`Apple Releases New Firmware for AirPods 2 and AirPods Pro - MacRumors
`
`There's no clear cut way to upgrade the firmware of the AirPods and AirPods Pro , with the new software
`being 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.
`
`You can check the firmware of your AirPods by following these steps:
`
`1
`
`2
`
`3
`
`Make sure the AirPods are connected to your iOS device.
`
`Open the Settings app.
`
`Tap General.

`
`Look at the number next to "Firmware Version."
`
` AirPods firmware updates often bring 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.

`Hopefully this brings back the original anc. ANC has been weak since the 2b588.

`
`One thing to remember is not to use cheap ass no brand Chinese chargers as their voltage regulation
`is usually lacking. Use a reputable brand!

`If this were reddit, I'd give you at least silver over this statement. I've literally confiscated chargers and
`cables from my parents so that they don't burn their house down and replaced them with Anker chargers
`and cables, lol. After explaining it a bit to my dad, he gets it as he's a union electrician. He just didn't
`know there was so much going on in the ends of those Lightning cables.

`
`12W wouldn't be so good for them though, would it?
`
`Common misconception - devices only draw what they need. You can’t ‘force’ current into them.
