Updating your AirPods firmware 

As you probably know by now, it is not possible to manually update your AirPods to new firmware versions. Instead, here’s what Apple says: 

Firmware updates are delivered automatically while your AirPods are charging and in Bluetooth range of your iPhone, iPad, or Mac that’s connected to Wi-Fi. You can also use your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to check that your AirPods have the latest version.
