Apple Pushes New Firmware to AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4

TapTechNews September 19th, Tech media MacRumors released a blog post yesterday (September 18th), reporting that Apple has pushed new firmware to all AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4 headphones.

The firmware version number of AirPods Pro 2 is 7A302, which is higher than the previous 7A294, while the firmware version number of AirPods 4 is 7A304.

Apple has not disclosed what the above firmware includes. In the firmware update released by Apple for AirPods Pro 2 headphones a week ago, iOS 18 features such as head gesture and voice isolation were added.

Apple is adding hearing aid and hearing test functions to AirPods Pro 2, so this update may introduce these capabilities or lay the foundation for future updates. Apple plans to launch the hearing aid feature for AirPods Pro 2 this year and has obtained FDA approval. Apple should not push this feature to AirPods 4.

TapTechNews note: Apple does not provide a manual method to upgrade AirPods software, but usually, when AirPods are placed in the charging case and connected to an iOS device or Mac, the firmware will be automatically installed wirelessly.
