Apple has rolled out a new firmware update for the fourth-generation AirPods, with the build number 7B19. While similar to the recent update for the AirPods Pro 2, this version does not include the new Hearing Test, Hearing Protection, and Hearing Aid features that are exclusive to the Pro model. Instead, this update likely brings various bug fixes and performance improvements for AirPods 4 users.
Firmware updates for AirPods typically occur in the background, with no user action required. To receive the update, users just need to ensure their AirPods are in the charging case, connected to an iOS device, and within Bluetooth range. Currently, Apple has not provided any official release notes, so details on specific improvements remain unavailable.
For those curious, the updated firmware version can be checked via an iOS device under Settings > Bluetooth > [Your AirPods Name] > About.
As Apple continues to fine-tune its AirPods lineup, firmware updates like these help enhance audio performance and connectivity, contributing to a better overall listening experience.
