Apple is rolling out beta firmware updates for various AirPods models, including the AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods Max 2. This follows the recent release of iOS 27 beta 3, adhering to Apple's established pattern of simultaneous beta updates across devices.
The beta firmware applies to the following models: AirPods Max 2, AirPods Pro 3, AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C), AirPods (4th gen), and AirPods (4th gen, ANC).
Notable upcoming features include custom EQ settings and the ability to sync with Apple GymKit. These enhancements were previously announced during the WWDC26 keynote.
Users can enable beta updates by connecting their AirPods to a Mac or iOS device running the appropriate beta version (macOS 27 beta or iOS 27 beta). After connecting, users should access the Bluetooth settings, find their AirPods, and toggle the 'AirPods Beta Updates' switch.
Once beta updates are enabled, firmware installations will occur automatically when the AirPods are in their charging case and nearby the paired device. This ensures users are always testing the latest features.
