Apple has released new beta firmware for various models of AirPods, including the AirPods Pro 2, Pro 3, 4, 5, and Max 2. The firmware, with build number 9B5043a, is currently being rolled out to developers and public beta testers. While Apple does not provide notes detailing the contents of the firmware update, it becomes accessible when AirPods are connected to devices running iOS 26, iPadOS 26, or macOS 26 or later.
Users can enable the beta firmware option in the AirPods settings interface on these devices. After enabling the option, users can download the firmware by connecting their AirPods to an Apple device and powering them on. The installation process may take a few hours due to the lack of a direct software update mechanism for AirPods.
